First, the modern transformation: a proposition Contemporary China
modern transformation of our attempt to express such a proposition of contemporary China's problems, in fact, it is also more than 100 years of modern Chinese society since the main thread. Modernity is not a time logic, it has a specific meaning and direction, is the modern transformation from traditional society to a modern core values (freedom, reason, individual rights) as a support to the market economy, democracy, constitutionalism and the nation-state system as the basic order of modern civilization change.
originated in Europe, values and institutions of modernity have been hundreds of years of history. but the post-modern Another related concept of modernity is modern, or modern theory. Parsons inheritance and opened up the Weber on the modern theory to explain modern social patterns. During the Cold War, this theory has been used and the Socialist theory of modern third-world countries compete for dominance of the road choice. theory.
in academia, in a different context, modernity, post modernity, modernization, transformation of these concepts of social meaning and value of its more controversial is always there. on the concepts, logic and language speculative nature of academic research investigated a habit, we are concerned about China's real problem is a the historical process: the the liberation of productive forces. Accordingly, the primitive society in human history is divided into the feudal society m m m slave of capitalist society socialist society m m stages of communist society. According to this view of history, the Taiping Revolution, the Boxer Rebellion are regarded China's modern history has the main meaning of the symbol, and the establishment of the PRC in 1949 in China's modern history should have a symbolic significance of the social transformation of China from a society into a socialist society semifeudal and semicolonial stage, the key to solve The problem is the advanced productive forces, production relations and the conflict behind.
and different paradigms of Marxist theory is Weber's modernization theory, it believed that the European experience of the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Enlightenment is the discovery of human values and recognized the right of people from God and the tyranny of imperial power out of the already obtained their freedom, rights and reason. in order to protect individual freedoms and rights, people selected the market economy, democracy, constitutional government and the nation-state system. Such a system is called with the values and traditions of the different modern society or modern society. According to this view of history, Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement and the Revolution should be the main process of China's modern history logo, and in this later New Culture Movement, the establishment of new China in 1949 and the eighties of Enlightenment and reform and opening up social transformation in China have had a major impact, China's modern transformation does not happen. New China established by Mao Zedong achieved national state construction, the Chinese have won the true sense of sovereignty, but started the industrialization process, but the new national governance in China is still a traditional society with strong colors. Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up China's political system and ideology from the alienation in return, and first began in the economic field the transition to a market economy, China's economic growth has created a miracle, but Deng Xiaoping's political system is still an unfinished task.
history of the economic base of the two and the superstructure of mutual understanding of causality is the opposite. I think that the historical changes of the factors are diverse, a variety of factors is an interdependence between them under different conditions can change in a causal relationship. In In this sense, Weber's view of history is instructive, it at least tells us that the decision should not the class struggle as the only factor in historical changes. From empirical considerations, changes in China's modern history and internal logic of the motive is to seek China's modernization of the road, from traditional society to modern society in transition, Weber's view of history can make a more accurate interpretation of this process.
three of the early eighties Enlightenment and reform: the internal logic consistency
the early eighties the transition process in China in the modern era of great significance, which was marked by the so-called Recalling this period of history, which became the main line, the former seems to be forgotten and weakened. Of course, depth and impact, of that the same time there is a consistent internal logic, because the modern market-oriented reform is an integral part of the transformation, its meaning is not only the efficiency of resource allocation, not just the well-being of national revitalization and improvement of the people, at a deeper It reflects the level of human freedom, reason and rights of modern values, represented by the recognition and respect. Although at the time between the two people on this understanding of the internal logic is not profound, but who was the enlightenment and reform politicians, the social elite and public consensus. China's modern turn to also derive immeasurable vitality.
Fourth, the breakdown of consensus: the Chinese way of war
nineties the era known as the broken consensus This situation has continued to this day. the early eighties, the wealth gap, corruption, moral anomie, lack of credit, environmental destruction, and many other negative phenomena. how to understand these issues? The crux of the problem is the value system reform and the lack of lag, which makes social transformation presents distortions and imbalances. China's modernization process reached a critical junction, the choice of the future, politicians and social elites should assume the historical responsibility, and create inclusive, open culture, to seek a new consensus.
I think that the process of social transformation in China should be directed to the Minfuguojiang, and individual rights, governance, efficiency and should seek a balance between the checks and balances, but the former can not replace the latter, because the latter is the value system of modern society and system of the core and foundation.
the process of social transformation in China are also should not be reflects the emergence of China has all the disadvantages of being infected with the collapse of capitalist society disease. China should also have the opportunity to choose a path different from the Western society, not only about the fate of China, but also the hope of mankind. so-called Beijing Consensus can be called ; China's modern programs can not simply copy the Western model, it must contain Chinese tradition, the elements of the Chinese experience, it should reflect the crisis of Western society and our understanding of pathological and criticism.
five, the radical and conservative : Path Selection of China's social transformation since the European Enlightenment Paradoxes
dynasty, produced three modern thought, namely, liberalism, radicalism and conservatism. One of the most influential is the can find the origin of their thoughts. not only for the purpose of radical social change to the way of violence or revolution, even more important is the position of tradition and experience and attitude. activist advocating a tradition, experience aside, its old ideas, the system has a lethal, but its essence is a evolution to achieve social transformation and development. Of course, the history of British society in transition and there have been revolutionary, statesman, and did not give up the passion to mobilize people to achieve specific goals, but this is not the norm, but a (Ackerman), problem solving, they have to return to Although those who advocate different, but the core values of modernity are recognized, the so-called conservative or conservative to defend its main rights and freedoms of individuals. In different periods of modern Chinese social thought in the main stream society is liberal mm a mix of both Marxism mm (ie, market-oriented reforms in the implementation of socialism into a fair, just thinking), but on the way to social change in China and the Chinese tradition and experience in terms of position and attitude, both with with the color of radicalism. China called conservatism, whether it is the order of modern Confucian order or contemporary class struggle believers and defenders of the planned economic system, are anti-modernity, can not form the radical ideology of checks and balances. As long centralized system, the experience of Chinese traditional and modern values and institutions lack the gene, it is difficult spontaneously took to the path of modern transformation, which makes for a radical survival and development in China the incentive. in a sense China's social transformation in modern radicalism is always accompanied by challenges to the conservative forces, struggle, which can not avoid the ultimate self-alienation, to the opposite. Therefore, in promoting the process of transformation of modern China, the awareness of the existence of radicalism in China some necessity to maintain awareness of radicalism, avoid falling into the
