本文旨在探讨政治文明的本质内涵及其普遍性和特殊性、社会主义政治文明建设的意义和原则、当前建设社会主义政治文明的方略和关键等问题。社会主义政治文明的核心是高度的社会主义民主 ,本质是制度文明。如果说物质文明的特质在于先进生产力 ,精神文明的特质在于先进文化 ,那么政治文明的特质则在于先进的制度 ,特别是民主政治的制度安排。社会主义政治文明一方面具有区别于资本主义等其他国家类型的政治文明的特殊性 ,另一方面也必然具有现代政治文明形态的普遍属性。社会主义政治文明建设必须借鉴人类政治文明的有益成果 ,积极推进我国的民主和法治建设 。

This article aims to probe such issues as essence, universality and particularity of political civilization, significance and principle of socialist political civilization construction, and strategies and key factors of the current construction. The core of Socialist Political Civilization is high-level socialist democracy, and its essence is institutional civilization. The special characteristics of material civilization lie in advanced productive force, those of spiritual civilization in advanced culture, and those of political civilization in advanced institutions, especially democratic political institutions. Socialist political civilization is different from capitalist one and those of other types, but it also shares the general features of modern political civilization. The construction of socialist political civilization should focus on drawing on beneficial fruits of human political civilization, promoting China's democracy and legal system construction, and particularly constructing the institutions of anti-corruption.
