中国人对社会主义的认知历程

The Evolution of Perceptions of Socialism in China

从认识史的视角考察中国人对社会主义的认知历程,中国人对社会主义的认识迄今大致经历了3个发展阶段。在第一个阶段上,主要是从对资本主义的否定认识中界定社会主义,即社会主义是资本主义不是的那个东西。在第二个阶段上,主要是在自我反思与自我否定中剔除许多长期被置于社会主义名下而实际上并不具有社会主义属性的东西。这两个认识阶段目前大体已经完成。在第三个阶段上,我们则试图在中国特色社会主义的语境下,从社会主义的自我确证中重新思考社会主义是什么。这一探索目前仍在进行中。

In terms of understanding their own development history,the Chinese people＇s perception of socialism has gone through three phases thus far.The first one mainly consisted of defining socialism as a negation of capitalism or as everything capitalism is not.The second one involved,through self-reflection and self-denial,rejecting many things which,for a long time,were considered socialist but which,in fact,were not.The third one involves,through self-verification,trying to understand and rethink what socialism is in the context of socialism with Chinese characteristics.This exploration is still under way.
