论信仰的危机与建设

On the Crisis of Faith and Faith Construction

人生存发展的内在动力,人生意义的终极保证,以及社会力量整合和凝聚的精神力量,在于坚定的信仰。一个社会的普遍信仰总是反映出社会的主导性价值观,信仰的危机,是社会核心价值观失落的表现。信仰建设,不能仅局限在思想道德领域;根本持久的措施,是要勇于面对现实,积极应对现实问题。

Crisis of faith is a term commonly applied to periods of intense doubt and internal conflict about one＇s preconceived beliefs or life decisions.The internal driving force of human being＇s sustenance and development,the ultimate guarantee of the meaning of life,as well as the spiritual motivation for the integration and cohesion of social forces all hinge upon determinate faith.The prevailing faith in a society will always reflect the leading values of that society,and the crisis of faith,in the other way round,is a representation of the fall of core values in a society.Faith construction should by no means be restricted only within the realm of ideology and ethics.Nevertheless,the fundamental and long-lasting measure lies in confronting the reality head-on and dealing with problems in reality with a positive mindset.
