当代中国社会的信仰引领与文化跃迁

Contemporary China's Social Guiding Faith and Cultural Upturn

在社会结构中,信仰处于文化的核心地位,正因如此,特定社会的文化孕育着信仰,同时信仰也引领文化的跃迁。信仰之所以对文化具有引领与牵导作用,根据在于信仰的本质。信仰是人立足现实而进行"自我超越"的精神机制。这种超越是一种"二级超越"的"张力结构"。现代文化是我们在信仰层面必须肯定与坚持的立足点,共产主义文化是信仰旨归的奋斗目标。

Faith is placed at the core of culture in social structure, for which the culture in given society nourishes belief to guide cultural upward turn. Faith guides culture which dwells in nothing but its essence. Belief is the spiritual mechanism of self-transcendence based on reality. Such a transcendence is ＂tension structure＂ in ＂secondary one＂. Cultural upturn led by faith requires us to expound further what culture to be desired,on what such a demand is based and how culture makes an upturn. Contemporary China＇s society at transition and cultural upturn led by faith are ＂primary transcendence＂ from pre-modernity culture to modernity culture and ＂secondary transcendence＂ from modernity culture and communist culture. Modernity culture is a foothold we must hold on at faith dimension and com- munist culture is a target our faith is set for.
