中国式现代化对“现代化=西方化”迷思的祛魅与超越

The Disenchantment and Transcendence of Chinese Modernization to the Myth of“Modernization Equals Westernization”

在历史唯物主义看来,社会发展道路是多样性的统一,根本不存在定于一尊的具有世界普遍性的一般发展模式。“现代化=西方化”只是一种迷思,因为西方现代化本质上是一种将自身特殊性附魅为世界普遍性的发展模式,不具有真正的普遍性,照搬照抄根本行不通。但现实中,西方现代化又是很多后发国家迈向现代化纷纷效仿的模式。这表明打破“现代化=西方化”迷思仅仅在理论上说明和揭示还不够,还必须历史地、现实地呈现出能够超越西方现代化新图景、创造人类文明新形态的现代化新道路。中国式现代化就是这样一种全新发展模式。在中国共产党的领导下,中国式现代化不仅大踏步赶上了时代,而且打破了“现代化=西方化”的迷思,创造了人类文明新形态,在更高阶段上深化、丰富、创新了世界现代化理论和实践。

In the view of historical materialism,the path of social development is a unity of diversity,and there is no universally applicable general development model that is fixed in one place.The notion that amodernization equals westernizationo is merely a myth,because western modernization is essentially a development model that endows its own particularity with a universality that is not truly universal;it is not feasible to simply copy and paste it.However,in reality,western modernization is a model that many latecomer countries are eager to emulate on their path to modernization.This indicates that breaking the myth of amodernization equals westernizationo is not enough by merely explaining and revealing it theoretically;it is also necessary to present historically and realistically a new path to modernization that can transcend western modernization and create a new form of human civilization.Chinese modernization is such a new development model.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,Chinese modernization has not only kept pace with the times but has also broken the myth of amodernization equals westernizationo,creating a new form of human civilization,and has deepened,enriched,and innovated the theory and practice of world modernization at a higher stage.
