In researching human nature, he expatiates on the problems of mind (xin) and human nature (xing), natural instincts (tian xing) and virtues (de xing), and general character and individual character; in emphasizing personality, he puts forward the idea that the ideal personality is "free personality as a member of ordinary people;" in probing into the problems of human freedom, he explains how to get freedom from the basis of practical materialism. This philosophical inquiry enriches Chinese Marxist philosophy's researches into the understanding of humanity and the connection of philosophy with the living world, which opens up a new area of development in the sinicization of Marxist philosophy.展开更多

We need a new kind of cultural self-awareness and cultural self- confidence. Globalization has two aspects: internationalization and "worldization." These attributes determine our two-fold task of developing and making use of international cultural resources to reconstruct Chinese culture, and of Chinese cultural resources to reconstruct world culture. At the same time, the dual nature of globalization also determines the duality of the cross-cultural. Here we find the very grounds for China's strategy for cultural development to deal with globalization.展开更多

Benign dialogue at the level of value beliefs makes the premise for real open and deep communication and interaction between Chinese, Western and Marxist philosophies, as well as significant content of and essential path to understanding of our own existing, configuring philosophy in contemporary China, and generating our national "philosophical ego" in the context of the life world of the Chinese.展开更多
