现代虚无主义的方法论批判

A Criticism of the Methodology of Modern Nihilism

从方法论上看,虚无主义的独断否定根源于对极端肯定的极端反拨,其结果是形而上学的"物极必反"。现代虚无主义主要有五种表现形态:自然虚无主义、社会虚无主义、历史虚无主义、信仰虚无主义、人生虚无主义。其中,历史虚无主义在当代中国表现为两种形式,其共性在方法论上都是相同的片面性,必须坚持用唯物辩证的方法论予以批判。

Methodologically,nihilism's arbitrary negation is rooted in an extreme refutation of extreme affirmation,bringing things full-circle metaphysically.Modern nihilism has five primary expressions: natural nihilism,social nihilism,historical nihilism,belief nihilism,and life nihilism.Only materialistic dialectics has the systematic,holistic,and scientific understanding of the world—including nature,society,history,life,and the human spirit—required for a criticism of modern nihilism,and only it can offer a scientific explanation of the nature and law of human history and of the prospects of human development.
