中国当代知识体系构建的基础与途径

The Foundations and Approaches of Constructing a Contemporary Chinese Knowledge System

知识体系是人类文化得以传承、创新和发展的重要基础与直接载体,也是一种文化的核心价值观念得以养成和延续的载体。近代以前,中西两种知识体系基本处于平行发展状态。西方知识体系第二次在中国传播的影响是直接对应西方知识体系,重构中国近代知识体系,虽有成效,但也引发了一系列问题。构建中国当代知识体系既有中西知识体系从冲突到汇通的历史基础,又有中国特色社会主义的道路、理论、制度、文化基础,人类文明新形态也提供了广阔的发展空间。据此,构建中国当代知识体系有其特定的基本原则、基本途径和基本层次。

Knowledge systems are an important basis and direct vehicle for the inheritance,innovation and development of culture,as well as a carrier through which the core values of a culture can be cultivated and perpetuated.Until the nineteenth century,Chinese and Western knowledge systems developed in parallel.The impact of the second spread of Western knowledge in China saw the reconstruction of China’s modern knowledge system by its direct converging into Western knowledge system;this was effective but also raised a series of problems.The history from conflict to convergence between the Chinese and Western knowledge systems provides a historical basis for the construction of the contemporary Chinese knowledge system,while the pathway,theories,system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the new form of human civilization have created a broad space for its development.Accordingly,the construction of contemporary Chinese knowledge system should be based on the principles,approaches and levels of its own.
