对《实践论》《矛盾论》行文形式和风格的思考——文风对马克思主义哲学大众化的意义

Speculations on the Textual Forms and Styles of On Practice and On Contradiction: the Significance of Writing Style on the Popularization of Marxist Philosophy

《实践论》《矛盾论》是毛泽东最著名的哲学文章。在内容上,其哲学思想成就巨大,标志着毛泽东哲学思想的成熟和系统化。在文风即行文形式和风格上,它们通俗易懂、简明扼要。这二篇文章具有中国风格、中国气派和中国话语特点。我们应该学习这种行文形式和风格。马克思主义哲学大众化需要"通俗易懂、简明扼要"的行文方式和风格,在一定意义上,只有这种文风的大众化,才有马克思主义哲学的大众化。让人看不懂的文章,既不具有解释世界,也不具有改造世界的作用。现在,许多马克思主义哲学文章写得晦涩难懂,这不仅仅是所谓的"哲学思维"的问题,还有着其它原因。解决这个文风问题,需要社会和政府支持。

On Practice and On Contradiction are two of Mao Zedong’s most famous works in philosophy. Their great academic achievements mark a mature philosophical system of Mao’s own thoughts. Their popular, easy and brief textual forms and styles highlight Chinese characteristics in writing styles, mentalities and discourses. They make a model for us. The popularization of Marxist philosophy needs popular, easy and brief styles. To certain extent, only popularization based on such would be genuinely Marxist, for ambiguous works would never help in explaining the world or reforming the world. The many ambiguous articles on Marxist philosophy form not a problem resulted from so-called＂ philosophical mentality＂ , but also from other practical consideration. To solve that problem will require much efforts ans supports from the society and government.
