正确理解理想信念的科学含义

Properly Understand the Scientific Meaning of Ideal Beliefs

从字面上看,"理想信念"这一概念是由"理想"和"信念"这两个概念结合在一起而形成的,但其内涵决不是这两个概念含义的简单叠加,它把二者有机地融为一体,并赋予其丰富深刻的独特意蕴,从根本上同与其相近的理想、信念、一般意义的理想信念以及信仰等概念区别开来。与理想和信念相比,理想信念强调了理想和信念中两个基本方面的统一;与一般意义的理想信念相比,理想信念是最高层次的理想和最高层次的信念的统一;与信仰相比,理想信念与马克思主义、社会主义结合在一起使用,更加科学、更加适合中国语境。

The concept ＂ideal belief＂ seems to have emerged from the combination of ＂ideal＂ and ＂belief＂. However, its connotation is much more than that of ideal plus belief. It refers to an integration of these two and implies a rich and profound note that distinguishes it from similar concepts like ideals, beliefs, general ideal beliefs, faith and so on. Compared with ideals and be- liefs, it emphasizes the integration of the two key elements in ideal and belief. Compared with the ideal belief in general, it stands for the integration of the highest level ideal and the highest level belief; Compared with faith, it is usually applied together with Marxism and socialism, making it more scientific and fit into the Chinese context.
