中国式现代化的独特文明观对西方文明观的批判与超越

Criticism and Transcendence of the Unique Civilization View of Chinese Modernization on the Western Civilization View

中国式现代化所蕴含的独特文明观及其发展实践,形成了对西方文明观的有力批判和全面超越。西方文明观基于“文明—野蛮”“传统—现代”“民主—威权”“中心—边缘”等二元对立叙事逻辑在不同时期呈现多重面相,这些面相下隐藏着二元对立服务于一元倾向、真理原则臣服于价值原则、道义主张屈从于利益诉求的实质性局限。中国式现代化坚持发展全过程人民民主,揭穿了“西方化即民主化”的假象;坚持文明多样性,以平等、互鉴、对话、包容超越“文明冲突论”和“文明优越论”;坚持贯通古今、融通中外,以系统观念超越线性思维;推动构建人类命运共同体,以“世界同心圆”超越“西方中心论”。

The unique concept of civilization and its development practice contained in Chinese path to modernization have formed powerful criticism on and comprehensive transcendence over the Western concept of civilization.The Western civilization view is based on the narrative logic of binary oppositions such as“civilization-barbarism”,“tradition-modernity”,“democracy-authoritarianism”,and“center-periphery”,which presents multiple facets in different periods.Under these facets,there are substantial limitations of binary oppositions serving the monistic tendency,truth principles subjecting to value principles,and moral claims submitting to interest demands.Chinese path to modernization adheres to the development of people’s democracy throughout the process,exposing the illusion that“Westernization is democratization”.It adheres to the diversity of civilizations,promote equality,mutual learning,dialogue,inclusiveness,and transcend the theories of clash and superiority of civilizations.It persists in connecting ancient and modern times,integrating both the domestic and the foreign,and transcending linear thinking with a systematic perspective.It promotes the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind,surpassing Western centrism with the concept of“world concentric circles”.
