精神家园：心系何处与如何共建？

Our Spiritual Home:Where Is It and How to Build It?

当代国人的精神处于传统与现代、东方与西方、理想与现实、精神与物质、价值理性与工具理性之间。在知识结构方面,人们受学校和家庭影响相对较大,同时也受到传统文化、马克思主义宣传等因素的影响。在信念信仰方面,传统观念与现代意识、个人的内在信念与外在的意识形态影响平分秋色,宗教的影响不算太大。在道德价值观方面,人们普遍认同那些多数人所认可的普世价值和道德原则,但在实践中人们更为现实和关注物质利益,具体的价值判断则倾向于多样和多元。对未来生活的期盼是稳定与创新、平淡与奋斗兼而有之。对于中华文化的未来多数人抱有较大信心和希望,而这信心和希望又主要同加强民主与法制、提高公民素质和弘扬优秀传统文化的诉求联系在一起。为了迎接新时代的挑战我们必须进一步更新观念,改革制度,提高素质,弘扬中华文化,建设我们民族共有的精神家园。

A Today＇s Chinese people live their spiritual lives in the world of interactions between the tradition and the modem, between the east and the west, between the ideals and the realities, and between the value rationality and the instrumental rationality. In terms of the knowledge structure, Chinese people are greatly influenced by the school and family educations and at the same time among other things by the traditional culture and the Marxist education. Their beliefs are shaped by both the traditional concepts and the modem ideas, with the internal personal choices and the external ideological instillation playing equal roles; the religious influence on them is not significant. In terms of their views on moral values, Chinese people generally identify with those universal values and moral principles, while in the practice they appear to be more practical and concerned about the material interests; their real life value judgements are characterized by diversity and pluralism. Their hope for the future life is a mixture of keeping the status quo and making innovations, showing both a satisfaction of a plain life and a desire to strive for a better one. To the future of Chinese culture, most of them hold an optimistic attitude, which is closely associated with their appeal to enhance the democracy and rule of law, to improve the citizenship, and to carry forward the excellent traditional culture. In order to meet the challenges in the new era, Chinese people have to further update their thoughts, reform their systems, im- prove their citizenship, enrich and enhance the Chinese culture, and to construct a common spiritual home shared by the whole people.
