论毛泽东“中国化”概念的认识论意蕴

On the Epistemological Implications of Mao Zedong’s “Sinicization” Concept

毛泽东首倡“中国化”,并对为什么要“中国化”及如何“中国化”等做了具体阐发。毛泽东明确提出了“具体化”这一认识论概念,并以其替代“中国化”这一政治性表达。因此,在他那里,“中国化”即“具体化”,二者表达的是同一个概念。从认识论看,“中国化”涉及的是理论实现过程中的理论具体化这一认识中介环节,它是我党将马克思主义的事实性认识具体转化为中国实践所需要的应用性认识的过程,也即我党开展调查研究、进行理论创新的认识过程。毛泽东对“中国化”认识论意涵的揭示,不仅深度阐明了“中国化”的本质,也为我国“中国化”研究或党的理论创新研究,指明了进一步思考的认识论维度,提供了极其重要的方法论启迪。

Mao Zedong first advocated “sinicization”, and elaborated on why and how to do “sinicization”. Mao Zedong clearly put forward the epistemological concept of “concretization” and used it to replace the political expression of “sinicization”. Therefore, in his eyes, “sinicization” means “concretization”, and the two express the same concept. From an epistemological point of view, “sinicization” involves the intermediary link of theoretical realization in the process of theoretical realization. It is the process by which our Party transforms Marxist factual knowledge into practical knowledge required by Chinese practice, that is, the cognition process of our Party to carry out investigation and research and theoretical innovation. Mao Zedong’s revelation of the epistemological meaning of “sinicization” not only clarifies the essence of “sinicization” in depth, but also points out the epistemological dimension of further thinking and provides extremely important methodological inspiration for the study of “sinicization” in China or the theoretical innovation of the Party.
