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.

Constructing China’s Human Rights Science:Cause,Cognition,and Paradigm

“China’s Human Rights Science”is undoubtedly a brand-new concept.Just as China has its own philosophy,literature,history,law,political science,and sociology,it should also have its own human rights science.China’s Human Rights Science refers to the cognitive science of human rights in China.Developing its disciplinary system,academic system,and discourse system,and constructing an independent Chinese human rights knowledge system,are essential requirements for promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization and creating a new form of human civilization.China’s Human Rights Science originated in China,grew in China,and deepened through China’s human rights practices.China’s Human Rights Science adhere to the universality of human rights principles and possess distinctive characteristics.It works as the knowledge-based organization,academic refinement,and theoretical expression of the path of human rights development that conforms to the trend of the times and suits China’s national conditions,as pursued by the Communist Party of China in leading the people.China’s Human Rights Science can enrich and develop the theory of human rights civilization,and should become a global public product of human rights.

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。

中国式现代化的伦理阐释

党的二十大对中国式现代化的特征和本质要求的界定兼具描述性和规范性意义,因而中国式现代化既是一个历史过程,也是一个伦理实体。从内涵上看,中国式现代化具有多维伦理意蕴,它兼具程序正义和实质正义,是中国共产党对人民伦理承诺的履行过程、是对功利主义分配伦理的辩证超越,是追求人与自然和谐共生和构建人类命运共同体的全球正义;从特征上看,中国式现代化兼备内在“善”与工具“善”,扬弃资本逻辑的同时坚守社会主义的伦理规范,凸显了韧性内炼与维护和平的伦理气质,糅合了传统与现代的伦理精神;从旨趣上看,中国式现代化道路将通向中华民族伟大复兴,创造人类文明新形态,并为人的解放和自由全面发展创造条件。

新时代中国特色社会主义文明观意蕴研究

习近平总书记立足世界百年未有之大变局和全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程的时代背景下,对文明作出系统的重要论述,形成了新时代中国特色社会主义文明观。新时代中国特色社会主义文明观意蕴丰富,马克思主义文明观是其理论渊源,推动人类文明前进是其首要意旨,平等、互鉴、对话、包容是其本质属性。新时代中国特色社会主义文明观提振了中国特色社会主义文明发展自信,昭示了东方文明影响力的提升,提供了化解人类文明交往困局的中国方案,对于人类文明发展具有重要的指向意义和引领价值。

中国式现代化何以创造人类文明新形态

在百年未有之大变局的新历史方位下,中国共产党带领中国人民走出了一条有别于西方的中国式现代化新道路。中国式现代化是现代化的一种崭新模式,实现了现代化共性和中国特色个性的辩证统一,实现了社会主义政治制度和基本经济制度的辩证统一。中国共产党带领中国人民在中国式现代化建设的过程中,既借鉴了一切人类优秀文明成果,又超越了西方式现代化固有范式,创造了一种崭新的人类文明新形态,为世界文明发展方向提供了一种新的选择。

民族性与世界性的辩证统一:中国式现代化的鲜明特质

中国式现代化是中国共产党人在革命、建设和改革实践中将科学社会主义基本原则与中国国情和社会实际相结合所开辟出的一条正确发展道路,它既有各国现代化的共同特征,更有基于民族文化基因的中国特色。民族性与世界性的辩证统一展现了中国式现代化不同于西方资本主义现代化的新图景新样态,从历史、现实、未来的有机贯通中奠定了中华民族伟大复兴更加坚实的根基。一方面,中国式现代化植根于博大精深的民族文化,秉承优良民族传统,致力于实现民族复兴;另一方面,它具有鲜明独特的开放性、海纳百川的包容性、深远持久的世界影响力。民族性与世界性辩证统一于中国式现代化的形成发展过程,统一于人类文明新形态的科学内涵和价值理念之中,统一于马克思主义中国化时代化的历史进程中。

中国式现代化道路研究的学术进路与未来展望——基于国内相关文献的可视化分析

中国式现代化道路的命题一经提出,就受到国内学者的广泛关注。现有的研究主要集中在中国式现代化道路的基本内涵、生成逻辑、本质特征、价值意义和实践进路等方面。以中国知网(CNKI)数据库收录的论文为数据来源,运用相关文献计量工具,系统梳理当前学界对中国式现代化道路的研究脉络,可以发现:目前学界对中国式现代化道路问题的研究具有系统性的特点,不同学科从不同的研究视角出发,对这一主题进行了多元化的理论思考,同时,也存在基础理论有待夯实、研究内容有待深入、研究视角有待拓展等不足。因此,未来研究应加大理论创新力度,进一步完善中国式现代化道路的研究内容,为构建起立足本土、突出特色、面向世界、贯通中西的学术体系和话语体系做出应有贡献。

中国特色社会主义制度是推进中国式现代化的根基和底蕴

中国特色社会主义是关涉中华民族伟大复兴的理论主题和价值旨归,贯穿于中国式现代化道路的全过程,既具有复兴社会主义中国的时代意涵,又具有表征人类文明新形态的价值潜蕴。坚持党的领导和人民主体地位的政治根基,坚持共同富裕基础上的经济制度改革创新,坚持全面繁荣哲学社会科学的文化安全建设,坚持和平发展道路的人类文明新形态建构,构成了新时代中国特色社会主义制度逻辑发展的新样态。然而,立足当代中国发展的现实境遇,中国特色社会主义仍面临诸多发展困囿,为此,要在坚持科学社会主义的基本原则之下,努力推动中国特色社会主义为复兴当代中国提供强大理论指南和实践理路,为推进中国式现代化提供制度根基和价值遵循。

精神利益与精神富裕:中国式现代化道路的文明特征

精神贫困是西方现代性后果的主要病症所在,如何摆脱精神生活的现代性困境,已经成为严峻而紧迫的时代课题。关照人的精神利益需要,丰富人民精神世界,实现人民精神生活富裕,是中国式现代化道路的本质规定。在发展理念上,中国式现代化道路以人民至上为价值遵循、以群体本位为文化理念、坚持协调发展的基本策略,为人的精神利益实现提供了文明指引。在实现过程中,我国现代化建设始终将人民的精神利益贯穿于精神生产—精神分配—精神交往—精神消费的全链条中,在精神利益的实现内容、方式、性质上与西式现代化道路存在根本差异。在不同理念的指引及实践过程的运行下,精神贫瘠、人的全面异化是西方资本文明发展模式的历史必然;与之相对立,实现精神富裕、人的全面发展将是中国式现代化道路的未来图景。中西两条现代化道路通过理念、过程及结果的动态比较,进一步彰显了实现人的精神利益向精神富裕的跃升,是人类文明新形态之于资本主义文明在精神层面的显著特征。

习近平文化思想视域下中国式现代化的文明特质

中国式现代化深植于五千年中华文明沃土,吸收了人类优秀文明成果,具有显著的文明特质。和而不同是中国式现代化的文明基因,是中国得以在现代化大潮中开辟一条独具中国特色现代化道路的内在本色;共同富裕是中国式现代化的文明追求,是中国为实现更加平等公正的现代化进行的接续探索;全过程人民民主是中国式现代化的文明创制,是中国立足于国情传统,为追求实质民主进行的有效创新;和平发展是中国式现代化的文明伦理,是中国植根爱好和平传统、打破大国“国强必霸”魔咒的自觉选择。中国式现代化的文明特质及其蕴含的生成逻辑、主体逻辑、制度逻辑、比较逻辑,彰显了中国式现代化创造人类文明新形态的历史厚度、人文温度、价值高度、胸怀广度。

试论人类文明新形态

近年来,习近平总书记多次强调人类文明新形态,要求学术界为人类文明新形态实践提供有力理论支撑。运用马克思主义社会形态学说审视人类文明新形态可以看到,习近平总书记所说的人类文明新形态本质上指的是社会主义社会文明新形态。以此为基点,辅以对苏联社会主义形态和资本主义社会形态的认识,更进一步言之,人类文明新形态即社会主义社会文明新形态主要是针对苏联社会主义形态而言的。由此来看,社会主义社会文明新形态,是以中国特色社会主义为代表的,是按照中国特色社会主义的“五位一体”来加以描述的。

中国式现代化:人类文明新形态的发展逻辑

中国共产党矢志不渝追求的现代化是科学社会主义题中应有之义。中国式现代化是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的内涵延续,团结带领全体人民以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴是中国共产党的使命担当。中国式现代化不但具有各国现代化的共同特征,而且更具有鲜明的中国特色。在治国理政过程中,中国共产党立足人口多底子薄之国情促进经济发展社会进步,坚持实现全体人民共同富裕,推动物质文明和精神文明相互协调共同提高,尊重自然生态发展规律以实现更高层次上的人与自然和谐共生,并秉持走和平发展道路的理念。中国式现代化体现了马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际以及中华优秀传统文化的密切结合,符合人类文明形态的发展规律。现代化建设的中国方案,也为人类实现现代化提供了新的选择,具有创造人类文明新形态的世界意义。

推进中国式现代化:前无古人的开创性事业

推进中国式现代化是一项前无古人的开创性事业。中国式现代化既有各国现代化的共性,更有基于中国国情的特性。唯物辩证法关于共性与个性辩证统一的方法论原则给了我们正确看待“西方现代化”和“中国式现代化”及其关系的思想武器。中国式现代化是一代代中国共产党人团结带领人民艰辛探索、艰苦奋斗出来的。实践表明,中国式现代化新道路符合中国国情,具有基于中国特殊国情和中国特色社会主义的开创性。中国式现代化破除了西方现代化模式的唯一性,开创了人类文明新形态,不仅对中国发展,而且对世界发展、科学社会主义发展具有开创性的重大意义。
