The Historical Position and Value Dimensions of Human Rights Civilization

Human beings are the mainstay and the ultimate goal of civilization.The history of human civilization is a continuous struggle to realize the respect,liberation,protection,and development of humanity.Human rights are an achievement of humanity and a symbol of progress,and the human rights civilization is an important component of human civilization.Understanding and interpreting human rights from the perspective of human rights civilization means that human rights are not only a concept or an idea but also a grand historical and long-term social practice.Up to now,the development of human rights civilization has roughly experienced four awakening eras:initialization,revolution,popularization,and globalization.In terms of its value dimensions,it has the characteristics of progressiveness,diversity,commonality,inclusiveness,indivisibility,openness,and so on.The historical position of human rights civilization and the development of its value dimensions have shown to the world that human rights are the common wealth of humanity,and human rights belong to all mankind;human rights are historical,concrete,and developmental;the concept of human rights is constantly evolving,and its connotations and categories are constantly expanding;achieving the free and well-rounded development of every person is the highest value realm of human rights civilization.The Chinese modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength and opens up new horizons for human rights civilization.The new pattern of human rights civilization to be created by Chinese modernization not only possesses the common characteristics of human rights civilization but also enjoys Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions,enriching and developing the diversity of human rights civilization for all mankind.

Historical Contribution of Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,especially after reform and opening up,the Communist Party of China has continuously advanced the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist political economy.Through the great practice of economic construction with Chinese characteristics,a socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics has been formed.As the latest theoretical achievement of Marxist political economy in contemporary China and the 21st-century world,Xi Jinping's economic thought deeply reflects the Communist Party of China's new understanding of the laws of economic development.With more pronounced subjectivity,originality,completeness,and theoretical richness,it not only provides a scientific guide for China's high-quality economic development and the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country but also propels the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics to a new stage,contributing Chinese wisdom to the innovative development of Marxist political economy.

Mao Zedong Is the Great Founder, Explorer and Pioneer of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

As early as the revolutionary wars, Mao Zedong clearly pointed out the future path of the Chinese revolution： to go through the new democratic revolution and advance uninterruptedly into the stage of socialist revolution, and finally to build socialism and communism. After the founding of the People＇s Republic of China, he created and continuously improved the socialist economic system and the corresponding political system, led the large-scale socialist economic, political and cultural construction, established the institutional preconditions, ideological guarantees and material basis for socialism with Chinese characteristics, and brouglat about a favorable external environment for China＇s socialist construction. During this process, Mao originated a series of theories about China＇s socialist construction. In proposing to achieve the second combination of the universal truth of Marxism with China＇s realities and to go China＇s own way and explore a path of building socialism which suits China＇s national conditions and has Chinese characteristics, he madea great theoretical contribution to the history of China＇s socialist development. His ideas provided ample ideological gestation and theoretical preparation for the second historic leap of the sinicization of Marxism. They served not only as the starting point of the history and logic of the theory, road and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics but also as one of the guiding principles of China＇s revolution, construction and reform. Mao＇s exploration left us with experience of success and lessons from mistakes, both of which enabled us to store up valuable experience and important inspiration for today＇s construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, whether in terms of historical practice or theoretical logic, Mao is the great founder, explorer and pioneer of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Following a Socialist Path of Opening Up with Chinese Characteristics

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 1978, China has established opening up as a basic national policy, pursued development with open doors, and made a great historical transition from being a largely closed society to one that is open to the world in all respects. As a result, opening up has become a marked feature of contemporary China. Opening up is China’s strategic choice, and not only will we keep our doors open to the world in the new era, but we will continue to open up more and more widely.

论习近平文化思想的科学体系

以新时代关于文化建设的“文本群”为文献依据,可以将习近平文化思想的主要内容概括为十个命题。坚持党对社会主义文化建设的全面领导,坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度,坚持建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态,坚持以人民为中心的社会主义文化工作导向,坚持以“两个结合”为核心的社会主义文化创新发展的科学原则和方法论,坚持建设物质文明和精神文明相协调的社会主义现代化,坚持以系统观念全面推进社会主义文化建设,坚持以文化创新推动社会主义文化大发展大繁荣,坚持以文化自信自强建设中华民族现代文明,坚持以全球文明倡议推动建设人类文明新形态。十者环环相扣、层层递进,构成了习近平文化思想的科学体系。习近平文化思想是贯穿于习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的文化红线,将新时代各个专门领域的党的创新理论联结成为一个有机整体。

论建设中华民族现代文明的重大意义

习近平提出“建设中华民族现代文明”的历史任务,指明了新时代中国特色社会主义新的文化使命,具有重大现实意义和深远历史意义。只有建设中华民族现代文明,才能接续中华古老文明,从而保持中华文明的历史连续性;只有建设中华民族现代文明,才能激活中华文明固有活力并彰显其当代价值;只有建设中华民族现代文明,才能实现中华文明的现代化转型升级和创新发展;只有建设中华民族现代文明,才能实现中国特色社会主义事业与中华文明的内在连接;只有建设中华民族现代文明,才能使业已开创的人类文明新形态更加成熟和辉煌。

中国式现代化与人类文明新形态的时代内涵

理解人类文明新形态的主要内涵、形成逻辑与重要意义,需要将其放在中国特色社会主义与社会主义初级阶段的特定语境之中,也即人类文明新形态有着特定的时代内涵。人类文明新形态源于中国式现代化的实践成就与理论升华,其产生的标志是统筹推进“五位一体”总体布局的提出,相应地“五个文明”的协调发展成为其核心以及主要表现形式。而新发展理念则从方法论与世界观的维度开创人类文明新形态并指引着其发展。在人类文明新形态的形成过程中,马克思主义中国化时代化的“两个结合”不仅构成其根脉和魂脉,而且为其发展成熟提供精神指引。在社会主义初级阶段乃至更高阶段,人类文明新形态以实现全体人民物质生活和精神生活的共同富裕以及人的全面自由发展为目标,而全体人民共同富裕彰显其先进特质并推动其发展。人类文明新形态的内涵也就借助中国式现代化、“五个文明”、新发展理念、“两个结合”与共同富裕等具有中国特色的话语表达出来,显示出其与传统社会主义文明和西方资本主义文明相比较的创新性、发展性、世界性及其使命追求。由于人类文明新形态产生于中国特色社会主义初级阶段,其发展与成熟既与中国式现代化的发展成熟同步,也是一个与之相比更长的发展过程,但在世界百年未有之大变局的时代背景下也给人类现代化与人类文明发展提供了方案与方向。

The Gist of the Marxist view on Human Rights

Marx and engels’ great ideology contains rich thought on human rights. Based on the class structure and social development in their lifetimes, the two founders of Marxism profoundly revealed the essence of human rights. They revealed the historical process, class essence and hypocrisy of the bourgeois human rights, and expounded the important principle that human rights are always subject to economic and social development. The Marxist of human rights theory emphasizes that even in a capitalist society, the proletariat should not abandon its efforts to strive for human rights, and that the proletariat should use human rights well to improve their survival and development conditions as well as the advancement of the society as a whole. In the localization process of Marxism in China, the Marxist view on human rights has been further developed and innovated in China, and the socialist human rights theory with Chinese characteristics has been formed, which is used to guide the development of China’s human rights cause.

习近平文化思想:新时代党领导文化建设的科学理论指南与根本行动遵循

习近平文化思想是新时代中国共产党领导文化建设实践的理论升华,构成了习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的文化篇。学习贯彻习近平文化思想,需要坚持理论与实践相结合、历史与现实相统一的原则,梳理百余年来中国共产党领导文化建设的脉络,回顾党的十八大以来历次宣传思想工作会议及其理论成果,揭示习近平文化思想正式提出的划时代意义。习近平文化思想涵括了文化的地位作用、前进方向、建设目标、实践路径、发展动力等丰富内涵;彰显了明体达用、体用贯通,与时俱进、开放包容,人民至上、胸怀天下等理论品格;体现了坚定文化自信和文化主体性的极端重要性、“两个结合”的方法准则、新的文化使命等原创性贡献。新时代党领导文化建设在加强党对宣传思想文化工作的领导、培育和践行社会主义核心价值观等方面取得了历史性成就。切实担负起新的文化使命,务必以习近平文化思想为指导,明确新的文化使命的本质要义和精神底蕴,强化理论武装、坚持自信自强、推动文化建设高质量发展,在继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明的奋斗实践中展现新作为。

中华优秀传统文化:中国特色社会主义教育学话语体系的根脉

确立教育学的文化性,把中国特色社会主义教育学话语体系建立在中华优秀传统文化基础上,是增强中国教育学的文化主体性和文化自信之需。中国特色社会主义教育学话语体系根植于中华优秀传统文化,这意味着,构建中国特色社会主义教育学话语体系,必须深刻把握中华优秀传统文化的精神,把中国传统文化的基本精神有机融入中国特色社会主义教育学话语体系中,加快构建具有主体性、原创性的中国特色社会主义教育学话语体系。

习近平总书记教育重要论述的理论体系及其重大意义

党的十八大以来,习近平总书记全面深入分析大变革时代教育领域的重大理论和实践问题,始终坚持以人民为中心,围绕“办教育”“培养人”两大主线思考解答“教育之问”,系统回答了“什么是中国特色社会主义教育”“怎样坚持和发展中国特色社会主义教育”的重大问题,形成了习近平总书记教育重要论述。习近平总书记教育重要论述是新时代教育事业发展经验的理论总结,是中国化时代化的马克思主义在教育领域的理论创造,是对中华优秀传统文化和我们党优良教育传统的继承与发展,成为习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重要组成部分。习近平总书记教育重要论述是一个系统全面、逻辑严密、内涵丰富、思想深邃、内在统一的科学理论体系,具有在实践中不断充实、自我完善的理论品质,必将随着实践的深入不断丰富发展。习近平总书记教育重要论述具有重大的政治意义、理论意义、实践意义、文化意义和世界意义。

建设社会主义文化强国与习近平文化思想的体系性学理性

党的二十届三中全会提出深化文化体制机制改革以加快建设社会主义文化强国的战略部署。建设社会主义文化强国是新时代中国共产党人新的文化使命之一,是进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的奋斗目标之一,是习近平文化思想的重要内容。习近平文化思想学理性回应和解答社会主义文化强国建设面临的历史性课题和重大时代课题,系统性回应社会主义文化强国建设面临的中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问,全面性部署社会主义文化强国建设的理论工作与实践工作,科学性指明社会主义文化强国建设的路线图和任务书,为中国共产党人担负起新时代新的文化使命提供了强大思想武器和科学行动指南。习近平文化思想的学理性是其体系性的内在基础,体系性是其学理性的外在表现,从理论与实践相结合的维度指导社会主义文化强国建设,标志中国共产党对社会主义文化建设规律的认识达到新高度,推动中国式现代化走向建设中华民族现代文明和创造人类文明新形态的高度。

论中国特色社会主义工会学的建构逻辑

中国特色社会主义工会学的当代出场,适应了改革开放以来,尤其是中国特色社会主义进入新时代以来,我国工会工作蓬勃发展的客观要求,这是中国工会理论研究发展到一定阶段并向学科化转向的必然逻辑。中国特色社会主义工会学建构逻辑涵盖了研究对象、学科属性与基本特征,学科体系的逻辑起点与落脚点,范畴体系建构等,集中体现了中国工会发展在历史逻辑、理论逻辑和实践逻辑高度统一基础上的创新逻辑。

习近平文化思想视域下坚守中国哲学社会科学之“魂脉”——关于哲学社会科学与中国特色意识形态问题探讨

“加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学”重大论断提出以来,在理论研究和实践探索方面都取得了众多成就,但也存在研究持续性和稳定性不足、问题导向不够明确、“中国特色”全面形成进程缓慢等问题。习近平文化思想为加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学提供了科学理论指南和根本行动遵循。马克思主义“魂脉”与中华优秀传统文化“根脉”,分别形成了加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学的意识形态和文明形态。中国特色哲学社会科学的“魂脉”就是对具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态的牢牢把握与坚守。中国共产党一贯重视哲学社会科学和意识形态工作。改革开放以来,意识形态领域长期面临风险挑战。党的十八大以来,意识形态形势发生全局性、根本性转变。加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学,要准确把握意识形态工作形势与工作定位,在坚持哲学社会科学“中国特色”的基础上,理直气壮、旗帜鲜明地批判“非意识形态化”“意识形态终结论”等错误思潮,以社会主义意识形态引领哲学社会科学、以哲学社会科学巩固社会主义意识形态。习近平文化思想为建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态和加快建构中国特色哲学社会科学提出了具体的谋划和部署,包括健全党的创新理论工作体系、全面落实意识形态工作责任制、推动理想信念教育常态化制度化、广泛践行社会主义核心价值观、加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学、打造全媒体主流传播格局、健全网络综合治理体系七个方面,要从广义意识形态层面加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学,坚守好中国特色哲学社会科学的马克思主义“魂脉”,提升与我国综合国力和国际地位相匹配的中国特色哲学社会科学话语权。

以习近平文化思想引领中国特色哲学社会科学体系构建——兼论中国哲学社会科学的指导思想

以习近平文化思想为引领是新征程上加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学的根本路径,也是当前实现哲学社会科学领域瓶颈突围的有效途径。中国共产党在领导中华民族进行革命、建设和改革的百年奋斗历程中,坚持以马克思主义指导中国哲学社会科学的繁荣发展,实现了夯实意识形态根基、推进体系化建构、全面凸显“中国特色”的三次历史性飞跃。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央深刻把握文化建设发展规律,形成了习近平文化思想,成为新时代加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学的任务书和路线图,其引领作用主要表现在三个方面:一是突出强调中国特色哲学社会科学的社会主义意识形态属性,主要从指导思想、研究内容、研究队伍三个层面来把握;二是着重强调中国特色哲学社会科学要以我国实际为研究起点,要求树立问题导向、强调理论创新、开展调查研究;三是明确中国特色哲学社会科学的目标旨归,即全面推进中国式现代化、建设中华民族现代文明、建构中国自主的知识体系,最终指向人类文明新形态。新征程上要坚持以马克思主义为指导、以习近平文化思想为引领,坚持“两个结合”,以问题议程四步骤为具体方法,围绕中国式现代化伟大实践全面展开中国特色哲学社会科学研究,在解决中国问题的过程中打破“有理说不出、说了传不开、传开叫不响”的现实困境,加快打造与我国综合国力和国际地位相匹配的中国特色哲学社会科学话语权。
