毛泽东锻造社会主义新人思想及其当代价值

Mao Ze-dong’s Thought of Forging New Socialist Generations and Its Contemporary Value

毛泽东高度重视人的因素,认为经由正确思想武装、团结起来的人所具有的力量不可估量,因此他格外重视对人的锻造。在理解毛泽东锻造社会主义新人思想时,需要超越个人层面,从新中国建设和社会主义文明的高度予以把握。基于此,社会主义新人的核心特征可以从四方面进行概括:在精神上破除西方迷信,在身份上实现人人平等,弘扬集体主义原则以及倡导艰苦奋斗精神。当今社会弥漫的资本逻辑给人的发展造成诸多困境,重新挖掘毛泽东锻造社会主义新人思想中的精神资源,有助于我们破除困境,重新建构人的价值和意义,进一步促进社会主义事业发展。

Thinking highly of human factors, Mao Ze-dong believed that the power of people armed and united with correct thinking was immeasurable, so he attached particular significance to the forging ofpeople. For better understanding Mao’s idea of forging new socialist generations, it is necessary to go beyond the individual level and grasp it fromthe perspective of building a new China and creating a socialist civilisation. Therefore, the core characteristics of the new socialist generations canbe summarised in four aspects: breaking down Western superstition in spirit, achieving equality for all in identity, promoting the principle ofcollectivism, and advocating the spirit of hard working. The logic of capital that pervades today’s society has created many dilemmas for humandevelopment. Reclaiming the spiritual resources in Mao Ze-dong’s thought of forging new socialist generations will help us break the dilemmas,reconstruct the value and meaning of human beings, and further promote the development of the socialist cause.
