The history of the development of human society is essentially a natural historical process. Human must start from certain natural premises and start from a combination of certain natural premises and human practices. This is the objective process and inevitable law of the development of human society. Grasping and understanding the scientific connotation of Marx's theory of humanity and nature has very important guiding significance for the development of human society.展开更多

However, if we deep analyze Marx's civil society-political state theory and his critique of natural rights theory, we can find that Marx's civil society-political state theory has two dimensions, where the two sets of human rights ranks are derived. Under the realistic condition, the economic rights indeed serve as the basis and aim of political rights while under the new idea of human rights—human liberation, political rights should be the most essential human rights.展开更多

In his complex theoretical system, he aimed to reconcile the Chinese cultural heritage with the demands of the contemporary world. Besides elaborating on traditional Chinese philosophy, Li launched many innovative views based on his understanding of specific developments in pre-modern and modern Western philosophy. His philosophy could be described as the search for a synthesis between Western and traditional Chinese thought and a specifically Chinese modernization. In order to provide a basic insight into Li's specific methods of combining Kant, early Marx and classical Chinese philosophy, the present article investigates his elaboration of the traditional Chinese paradigm of “the unity of nature and man” (tianren heyi 天人合一) through the lens of ideas about humanized nature (renhua de ziran )人化的自然) and naturalized humans (ziranhua de ten 自然化的人).展开更多

Since reform and opening up in 1978, China has persisted in the central task of economic development and put development in the first place. The evolution of the concept "development is the hard truth" to "development is a task of first importance in governing the country and invigorating the Chinese nation" and to the establishment of the scientific development approach reflects the deepening and growing command of the laws governing China's economic and social development.展开更多

Attending were a dozen experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Central Party School, Beijing University, Renmin University of China, China Political Science and Law University, PLA Airforce Command Institute and China Society for Human Rights Studies. They discussed a range of questions including the connotation of the scientific outlook toward development, how the scientific outlook toward development is related to human rights and how it guides the development of human rights in both theory and practice, and the significance of the inclusion of human rights into China's Eleventh Five-Year Program for Economic and Social Development (2006-2010).展开更多
