人文经济学的世界文明意蕴

The Connotations of World Civilization in Humanistic Economy

人文经济在世界经济、世界文明的复杂震荡中生成。技术更新加速与文明整体转换滞后相并存,新增长极崛起与传统发达板块的失落相并存,新财富主体崛起与传统财富主体的失落相并存,是当代世界经济、世界文明存在的突出问题。反思文明史可知,从原初文明、农耕文明、工商文明,到当代数字与智能文明,人类的经济活动在具有进步性的同时,也存在野蛮性。建构人文经济,有利于克服经济运行的野蛮性,建构更加公平、有效率、可持续的世界文明。人文经济存在于知识、行为、制度等层面,其核心是在坚持经济建设中心地位、经济领域基础作用的同时,强调从具体的人性、“社会化的人类”这个角度全面理解经济的动力、过程、目的,使经济运行更具有人性、文明性。建构人文经济,需要具体把握世界文明的系统构成、发展趋势,把握经济活动的文明趋势、人文底蕴,把握人文精神的历史趋势、具体内涵,尤其需要把握人文经济与中华民族现代文明、中国式现代化的内在关联。人文经济的理念自觉、真实推进,对于我国经济理论创新、文明理论自觉具有重要意义。

The concept of a humanistic economy emerges amidst the complex oscillations of the global economy and world civilizations.The contemporary world is witnessing a juxtaposition of rapid technological advances with a lag in overall civilizational transformation.This is evident in the rise of new economic powerhouses alongside the decline of traditional developed sectors,and the emergence of new wealth entities alongside the fading of traditional wealth bodies.A retrospective analysis of the history of civilizations,ranging from primitive civilizations,agrarian societies,commercial civilizations,to contemporary digital and intelligent civilizations,reveals that while human economic activities have consistently progressed,they have also inherently exhibited elements of barbarism.Constructing a humanistic economy can effectively counteract this inherent barbarism and pave the way for a more just,efficient,and sustainable global civilization.The humanistic economy manifests itself in knowledge,behavior,and institutional frameworks.Its essence lies in emphasizing a comprehensive understanding of economic dynamics,processes,and goals from the perspective of innate human nature and the“socialized human”.This understanding ensures that economic operations are more humane and civilized.To build a humanistic economy,it is imperative to grasp the systematic composition and development trends of world civilizations,understand the civilizational tendencies and humanistic foundations of economic activities,and comprehend the historical trends and specific connotations of the humanistic spirit.It is especially important to recognize the intrinsic connection between the humanistic economy and the modern civilization of the Chinese nation and the unique modernization of China.The conscious and genuine development of the concept of humanistic economy has significant implications for the innovation of China’s economic theories and the self-understanding of its civilization theories.
