文化一元多线论刍议——兼论全人类共同价值和文明平等互鉴

The Common Values of All Mankind from the Perspective of the Cultural Monistic Multi-linear Theory

文化相对主义是对民族文化中心主义的反抗,却易走向极端化,导致存在重大缺陷。在对其反思中,文化一元多线论得以滥觞。文化一元多线论,既立足客观世界“质”的规定性(一元),又兼顾人类社会“量”的多样性(多线),对文化普适性与文化相对性进行有机整合,是对辩证唯物论“一元论”和唯物史观“历史合力论”的细化。文化一元多线论在世界观上符合一元二象性;在方法论上,既要尊崇科学、理性标准,又尊重少数群体的文化权益。文化一元多线论为全人类共同价值和文明平等互鉴论的范式构建中赋予了的哲学意蕴。多线视野下的“一元”,支持植根国际共识形成的全人类共同价值,为构建人类命运共同体奠定基础;一元基础上的“多线”,提倡多样化文明之间平等互鉴交流,发达国家不附加条件地帮助落后国家和地区及国内少数族群自行自愿自主变革和进步。

The Cultural Relativism is a revolt against the advantageous ethnics’ cultural centralism, but it has gone to extremes, leading to major defects. In the process of reflection on it, the Cultural Monistic Multi-linear Theory(CMMT)came into being. CMMT is based on the stipulation of the “quality” of the objective world(monism) and the diversity of “quantity”(multilinearity) in human society,organically integrates cultural universality and cultural relativity, is a refinement of dialectical materialism “monism” and historical materialism “the Theory of Historical Resultant Forces”. CMMT conforms to monistic duality in the world outlook;In terms of methodology, we should respect both scientific and rational standards and the cultural rights and interests of minorities. CMMT provides certain philosophical nutrients for the Common Values of All Mankind(CVAM) and the Outlook of Civilizations with Equality and Mutual Learning(OCEML) in the process of constructing the paradigm. The “monism” in a multi-linear perspective supports the CVAM rooted in international consensus, and lays the foundation for building a community with a shared future for mankind;The “multilinearity” based on the monism advocates OCEML, helping backward countries or regions and domestic ethnic minorities to make voluntary and independent changes and progress without attaching conditions.
