Accelerating the Construction of an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy — The Call of the Times, Theoretical Connotations, Innovative Characteristics, and Global Significance

Accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy is both an urgent call to accelerate Chinese-path modernization and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the epochal mission of Chinese philosophical workers. General Secretary Xi Jinping, in his important speech on May 17 [2016], put forward the requirement to build philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and further emphasized during his inspection of Renmin University of China that “building philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics is, in the final analysis, about constructing an independent knowledge system for China,” [1]1 This refers to Xi Jinping’s speech at a symposium on philosophy and social sciences on May 17, 2016, and his remarks during an inspection of Renmin University of China on April 25, 2022. clearly setting forth the important task of constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences. At present, changes unseen in a century in the world are accelerating, and the construction of Chinese-path modernization has entered a critical period of comprehensive advancement. Accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy is not only the call of the times to comprehensively advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, but also an inevitable requirement for our Party to promote theoretical and practical innovation. Moreover, it is a major strategic measure to manifest Chinese wisdom during the contemporary transformation of human civilization, and it is of extremely great significance.

加快构建中国哲学自主知识体系，既是加快中国式现代化建设、实现中华民族伟大复兴的紧迫呼唤，也是我国哲学工作者的时代使命。习近平总书记在5·17重要讲话中提出建设中国特色哲学社会科学的要求，在中国人民大学考察时进一步强调“加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学，归根结底是建构中国自主的知识体系”，明确提出了构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的重要任务。当前，世界百年未有之大变局加速演进，中国式现代化建设进入全面发力的关键时期。加快构建中国哲学自主知识体系，既是以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴的时代呼唤，也是我们党推进理论创新、实践创新的必然要求，更是在人类文明当代转型期彰显中国智慧的重大战略举措，具有极为重要的意义。

The Call of the Times for Constructing an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy

构建中国哲学自主知识体系的时代呼唤

The times are the soil for ideological transformation, and practice is the source of theoretical innovation. Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy is precisely an inevitable choice, grounded in China’s national conditions, to respond to the questions of history and the times, and to advance theoretical and practical innovation.

时代是思想变革的土壤，实践是理论创新的源泉。构建中国哲学自主知识体系，正是立足中国国情，回应历史之问与时代之问，推进理论创新和实践创新的必然选择。

From the perspective of historical positioning, Chinese-path modernization has creatively absorbed various positive factors of human civilization, combining socialism with modernization on Chinese soil, and constitutes the most grand and unique independent innovation practice in human history to date. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the practice of Chinese-path modernization has achieved historic accomplishments and undergone historic transformations, creating the “two miracles” of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, [2]2 The “two miracles” refer to rapid economic development and long-term social stability, a phrase commonly used in official discourse to describe China’s achievements since reform and opening up. and successfully resolving many difficult problems in world modernization and the development of human society. At the same time, we also face new challenges such as unbalanced and inadequate development, insufficient capacity for scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, and the need to further strengthen confidence in the culture. The major theoretical difficulties and practical challenges faced by contemporary China in practice urgently require contemporary Chinese philosophy to provide more solid and abundant theoretical support, more scientific methods of thinking, and reasonable value guidance. Only by accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy can we better summarize China’s practical experience with Chinese philosophical theory, better respond to and analyze the philosophical perplexities and ideological demands in the process of Chinese-path modernization at the philosophical level, and inject powerful spiritual impetus and provide philosophical theoretical guidance for the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

从历史方位看，中国式现代化创造性吸收了人类文明的各种积极因素，将社会主义与现代化在中国大地上结合起来，是人类历史上迄今为止最宏大而独特的自主创新实践。党的十八大以来，中国式现代化实践取得了历史性成就，发生了历史性变革，创造了经济快速发展和社会长期稳定这“两大奇迹”，成功破解了世界现代化和人类社会发展中的诸多难题。同时，我们也面临着发展不平衡不充分、科技自立自强能力不足、文化自信建设仍有待加强等新的挑战。当代中国在实践中面临的重大理论难题与现实挑战，迫切需要当代中国哲学提供更加坚实和丰厚的理论支撑、更加科学的思维方法和合理的价值指引。只有加快构建中国哲学自主知识体系，才能更好地以中国哲学理论总结中国实践经验，在哲理层面更好地回应和解析中国式现代化进程中的哲理困惑与思想诉求，为强国建设和民族复兴伟业注入强大精神动力、提供哲学思想理论指引。

From the perspective of the epochal configuration, the world today is undergoing changes unseen in a century. Unilateralism and hegemonism are on the rise, trends of thought such as the end of history and the clash of civilizations are spreading, the inherent drawbacks of the Western modernization model are increasingly prominent, and humanity stands at a new crossroads. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out, “Civilizations become colorful through exchange, and civilizations become rich through mutual learning.” Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy is not only the necessary path for China’s philosophy and social sciences to emerge from the long-standing “apprentice mentality,” break the monopoly of Western knowledge systems, shake off path dependence on Western theories, and manifest the “self-assertion” of Chinese philosophy, but also an important academic support for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and building a community with a shared future for mankind. By refining original philosophical theories and iconic philosophical concepts with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese manner, the world can better understand the Chinese path, and Chinese solutions can be provided for the systemic problems of development, security, civilization, and governance commonly faced by humanity.

从时代格局看，当今世界正经历百年未有之大变局，单边主义、霸权主义抬头，历史终结论、文明冲突论等思潮蔓延，西方现代化模式的内在弊端日益凸显，人类站在了新的十字路口。习近平总书记指出，“文明因交流而多彩，文明因互鉴而丰富”。构建中国哲学自主知识体系，既是我国哲学社会科学走出长期以来的“学徒心态”、打破西方知识体系垄断、摆脱对西方理论的路径依赖、彰显中国哲学“自我主张”的必由之路，也是推动文明交流互鉴、构建人类命运共同体的重要学理支撑。通过提炼具有中国特色、中国风格、中国气派的原创性哲学理论与标识性哲学概念，能够让世界更好地理解中国道路，为解决人类共同面临的发展、安全、文明与治理等系统性难题提供中国方案。

From the perspective of theoretical vision, the Communist Party of China has consistently adhered to integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the fine traditional Chinese culture, continuously advancing theoretical innovation, and forming a series of achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is Marxism for contemporary China and Marxism for the 21st century. Our country has implemented the project of Marxist theoretical research and construction for many years, achieving extremely fruitful results. In November 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued important instructions on the Marxist theoretical research and construction project for the new era, clearly requiring that “we must adhere to the Two Integrations, take root in the land of China, continue the Chinese cultural lineage, deepen the academic foundation, deeply study the major issues in the practice of comprehensively advancing the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation through Chinese-path modernization, and accelerate the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences.” [3]3 This refers to Xi Jinping’s instructions on the Marxist theoretical research and construction project, issued in November 2024. This means that the Marxist theoretical research and innovation project has entered a new stage, and it also points the way forward and provides fundamental guidance for constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy, marking that our Party’s understanding of the laws of philosophical theoretical development has reached a new height.

从理论视域看，中国共产党始终坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合，持续推进理论创新，形成了中国化马克思主义的系列成果。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是当代中国马克思主义、二十一世纪马克思主义。我国多年来实施马克思主义理论研究和建设工作，取得了极为丰硕的成果。2024年11月，习近平总书记对新时代马克思主义理论研究和建设工程作出重要指示，明确要求“要坚持‘两个结合’，扎根中国大地、赓续中华文脉、厚植学术根基，深入研究以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业实践中的重大问题，加快构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系”。这意味着马克思主义理论研究与创新工程进入新阶段，也为构建中国哲学自主知识体系指明了前进方向、提供了根本遵循，标志着我们党对哲学理论发展规律的认识达到了新高度。

The Theoretical Connotations of Constructing an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy

构建中国哲学自主知识体系的理论内涵

Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy should take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the fundamental guidance, adhere to the Two Integrations, be grounded in Chinese practice, inherit the Chinese cultural lineage, draw on the outstanding achievements of human civilization, connect the “soul vein” with the “root vein,” and adhere to the unity of theory and practice.

构建中国哲学自主知识体系，应以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为根本指导，坚持“两个结合”，立足中国实践，传承中华文脉，借鉴人类文明优秀成果，将“魂脉”与“根脉”相贯通，坚持理论与实践相统一。

First, adhere to the guiding position of the Party’s innovative theory and consolidate the foundation of the “soul vein.” The primary task of constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy is to adhere to the guidance of the Party’s innovative theory and always run Marxism, this “soul vein,” through all fields, aspects, and the entire process of constructing the independent knowledge system for philosophy. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes, “Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for the founding and development of our Party and our country.” Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy must first adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, adhere to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and deeply integrate the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method into every link of constructing the independent knowledge system for philosophy. The “Six Musts” [4]4 The “Six Musts” (六个必须坚持) are: must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, must adhere to self-reliance and self-strengthening, must adhere to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, must adhere to problem-oriented approach, must adhere to systematic thinking, and must adhere to the global vision. They are presented as the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era., as the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, provide fundamental thinking guidelines and scientific methodological guidance for constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy.

首先，坚持党的创新理论的指导地位，筑牢“魂脉”根基。构建中国哲学自主知识体系，首要任务是坚持党的创新理论指导，始终把马克思主义这一“魂脉”贯穿哲学自主知识体系构建的各领域、各方面和全过程。习近平总书记强调，“马克思主义是我们立党立国、兴党兴国的根本指导思想”。构建中国哲学自主知识体系，首先要坚持马克思主义的指导地位，坚持守正创新，坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为引领，将马克思主义立场观点方法深度融入哲学自主知识体系构建的各个环节之中。“六个必须坚持”作为习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观和方法论，为构建中国哲学自主知识体系提供了根本的思维遵循和科学的方法论指引。

Second, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture, and strengthen the status of the “root vein.” Fine traditional Chinese culture is the “root vein” of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and the deepest cultural foundation. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out, “Fine traditional Chinese culture is the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation, an important source for cultivating core socialist values, and also a solid foundation for us to stand firm amidst the global cultural currents.” Chinese civilization, stretching over five thousand years, contains rich and profound philosophical wisdom. Important ideas and concepts such as “the people are the foundation of the state,” “the unity of heaven and humanity,” “ceaseless self-renewal,” and “great virtue carries all things” are inherently compatible with the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method, providing profound cultural nourishment and ideological resources for constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy. To construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy, it is necessary to deeply explore the contemporary value of fine traditional Chinese philosophy, promote its creative transformation and innovative development, and allow fine traditional Chinese culture to become the deep foundation of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy.

其次，促进中华优秀传统文化的创造性转化和创新性发展，强化“根脉”地位。中华优秀传统文化是中国哲学自主知识体系的“根脉”，是最为深厚的文化根基。习近平总书记指出，“中华优秀传统文化是中华民族的精神命脉，是涵养社会主义核心价值观的重要源泉，也是我们在世界文化激荡中站稳脚跟的坚实根基”。绵延五千多年的中华文明蕴含着丰富而深厚的哲学智慧，“民为邦本”“天人合一”“自强不息”“厚德载物”等重要思想理念，与马克思主义立场观点方法内在契合，为构建中国哲学自主知识体系提供了深厚的文化滋养和思想资源。构建中国哲学自主知识体系，必须深入挖掘中华优秀传统哲学的时代价值，推动其创造性转化、创新性发展，让中华优秀传统文化成为中国哲学自主知识体系的深厚根基。

Finally, promote the integration and mutual learning among Chinese, Western, and Marxist philosophies, and strengthen an open attitude and learning from others. For a long time, China’s philosophical system has formed a development pattern of coexistence and interaction among fields such as Marxist philosophy, Chinese philosophy, and Western philosophy. Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy requires not only adhering to the guidance of Marxism and holding fast to the “soul vein,” but also taking root in fine traditional Chinese culture and strengthening the “root vein.” It also requires continuing to actively draw on the reasonable achievements of Western philosophy with an open academic vision, an inclusive academic mind, and a rational critical attitude. It is necessary to strengthen international academic exchange and interaction, enhance philosophical research on international issues, promote the internal integration of Chinese, Western, and Marxist philosophies, strengthen the subjectivity of Chinese culture in Western philosophical research, and continue to advance “making the past serve the present” and “making foreign things serve China” under the new conditions of the times.

最后，促进中、西、马的融通互鉴，强化开放心态和学习借鉴。长期以来，我国哲学体系形成了马克思主义哲学、中国哲学和西方哲学等领域并存互动的发展格局。构建中国哲学自主知识体系，既要坚持以马克思主义为指导，守住“魂脉”，也要扎根中华优秀传统文化，强化“根脉”，还要继续以开放的学术视野、包容的学术胸襟、理性的批判态度，积极借鉴西方哲学的合理成果。要加强国际学术交流与互动，强化国际问题的哲学研究，促进中、西、马的内在融通，强化西方哲学研究中的中华文化主体性，在新的时代条件下继续推进“古为今用”和“洋为中用”。

The Innovative Characteristics of Constructing an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy

构建中国哲学自主知识体系的创新特质

Chinese-path modernization carries the epochal themes and spirit of contemporary China and serves as the practical foundation and core content for constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy. The original theories, signature concepts, and unique “six outlooks” of Chinese-path modernization fully demonstrate the autonomy and innovativeness of Chinese philosophy, driving innovation in the disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system of Chinese philosophy.

中国式现代化承载着当代中国的时代主题和时代精神，是构建中国哲学自主知识体系的实践基础和核心内容。中国式现代化的原创性理论、标识性概念和独特“六观”，充分彰显了中国哲学的自主性与创新性，推动了中国哲学的学科体系创新、学术体系创新和话语体系创新。

Compared with modernizations in other countries around the world, Chinese-path modernization shares common features while also possessing distinct Chinese characteristics. Chinese-path modernization has shattered the myth that “modernization equals Westernization,” shaken the dominant position of the Western modernization model and its theories, depicted a new picture of an alternative modernization, and greatly enriched and developed the Marxist theory of modernization and socialist theory. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “Summarizing and deeply elaborating the theory of Chinese-path modernization is a major theoretical innovation of the 20th National Congress of the CPC and the latest major achievement of scientific socialism.” [5]5 The 20th National Congress of the CPC was held in October 2022; it formally elaborated the theory of Chinese-path modernization as a major theoretical innovation. The theory of Chinese-path modernization clarifies its five features and nine essential requirements, scientifically answers the major epochal question of “what kind of socialist modernized power to build and how to build it,” and constitutes an important original component of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy.

与世界各国现代化相比，中国式现代化既有共同特征，也有其鲜明的中国特色。中国式现代化打破了“现代化=西方化”的迷思，动摇了西方现代化模式及其理论的支配地位，描绘了另一幅现代化的崭新图景，极大丰富和发展了马克思主义现代化理论和社会主义理论。习近平总书记指出，“概括提出并深入阐述中国式现代化理论，是党的二十大的一个重大理论创新，是科学社会主义的最新重大成果”。中国式现代化理论明确了中国式现代化的五大特征和九条本质要求，科学回答了“建设什么样的社会主义现代化强国、怎样建设社会主义现代化强国”这一重大时代课题，是构建中国哲学自主知识体系的重要原创性内容。

Signature concepts are an important part of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy, a vivid manifestation of the uniqueness of Chinese philosophy and social science theory, and a demonstration of the originality and subjectivity of Chinese theory. “New quality productive forces,” “whole-process people’s democracy,” “a community with a shared future for mankind,” and “Chinese-path modernization” are all original theories and signature concepts refined and formed in the process of Chinese-path modernization. They are deeply rooted in Chinese practice, reflect China’s realities, and also contain the universal truths and common values of the development of human society. They are not only distinctive symbols of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy but also provide an important window for the world to better understand China, comprehend China, and approach China.

标识性概念是中国哲学自主知识体系的重要内容，是中国哲学社会科学理论独特性的鲜明体现，彰显了中国理论的原创性与主体性。“新质生产力”“全过程人民民主”“人类命运共同体”“中国式现代化”等，都是在中国式现代化进程中提炼形成的原创性理论和标识性概念。它们既深深植根于中国实践，反映中国实际，也蕴含着人类社会发展的普遍真理和共同价值，既是中国哲学自主知识体系的鲜明符号，也为世界更好地理解中国、读懂中国、走进中国提供了重要窗口。

The unique worldview, values, view of history, view of civilization, view of democracy, and view of ecology contained in Chinese-path modernization constitute the philosophical core of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and are the concentrated embodiment of Chinese philosophy and the spirit of Chinese culture. These “six outlooks” are not only scientific theory and advanced thought but also profound culture and vivid philosophy, possessing outstanding original significance: in terms of worldview, they are concentrated in the “six musts,” [6]6 The “six musts” (六个必须坚持) refer to the six principles that must be upheld in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era: putting the people first, self-confidence and self-reliance, upholding integrity and innovation, prioritizing problems, adopting a systems perspective, and embracing the world with a broad mind. providing scientific guidance for better understanding and transforming the world; in terms of values, they highlight the primacy of the people, manifesting the value pursuit of Chinese philosophy; in terms of the view of history, they adhere to a grand historical perspective, deeply grasping the laws of development of human society and Chinese society; in terms of the view of civilization, they advocate the coordinated development of the “five civilizations” — material civilization, political civilization, cultural-ethical progress, social civilization, and ecological civilization — promoting the overall progress of civilization; in terms of the view of democracy, they practice whole-process people’s democracy, ensuring that the people are the masters of the country; in terms of the view of ecology, they pursue the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature, manifesting the concept of sustainable development.

中国式现代化蕴含的独特世界观、价值观、历史观、文明观、民主观、生态观，是中国哲学自主知识体系的哲学内核，是中国哲学和中华文化精神的集中体现。这“六观”既是科学的理论、先进的思想，也是深厚的文化、鲜活的哲理，具有突出的原创性意义：在世界观上，集中体现为“六个必须坚持”，为更好地认识世界、改造世界提供科学指引；在价值观上，凸显人民至上，彰显中国哲学的价值追求；在历史观上，坚持大历史观，深刻把握人类社会和中国社会发展规律；在文明观上，倡导物质文明、政治文明、精神文明、社会文明、生态文明“五个文明”协调发展，推动文明整体进步；在民主观上，践行全过程人民民主，保障人民当家作主；在生态观上，追求人与自然和谐共生，彰显可持续发展的理念。

The Global Significance of Constructing an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy

构建中国哲学自主知识体系的世界意义

Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy can not only serve the practice of Chinese-path modernization and promote China’s economic and social development but also contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to the progress of human civilization, possessing profound and extensive global significance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and it is also a party that seeks progress for humanity and harmony for the world.” The independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy is a vivid embodiment of the CPC’s concept of embracing the world with a broad mind and an important philosophical bridge for exchange and dialogue between China and the world.

构建中国哲学自主知识体系，不仅能够服务于中国式现代化实践，推动中国经济社会发展，更能够为人类文明进步贡献中国智慧、中国力量，具有深刻而广泛的世界意义。习近平总书记指出，“中国共产党是为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党，也是为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同的党”。中国哲学自主知识体系是中国共产党胸怀天下理念的生动体现，是中国与世界交流对话的重要哲学思想桥梁。

From a global perspective, constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy helps to break the long-term monopoly of the Western philosophical knowledge system, promote the diversified development of the human philosophical knowledge system, and inject new philosophical paradigms and theoretical systems into the progress of human civilization. Important concepts contained in the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy, such as “great harmony under heaven,” “peace and harmony among all nations,” and “mutual benefit and win-win cooperation,” are highly consistent with the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, providing scientific philosophical guidance and feasible ideas and methods for solving global problems commonly faced by humanity, such as climate change, wealth disparity, civilizational conflict, and public health security. At the same time, the rich practical experience of Chinese-path modernization and the valuable theoretical achievements of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy, through the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, the BRICS cooperation mechanism, and Global South cooperation, provide other developing countries with new directions for thought and choices of paths, offering important references for them to explore their own modernization development paths, helping to strengthen international fairness and justice, and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

从世界范围来看，构建中国哲学自主知识体系有助于打破西方哲学知识体系的长期垄断格局，推动人类哲学知识体系的多元化发展，为人类文明进步注入新的哲学范式和理论体系。中国哲学自主知识体系蕴含的“天下大同”“协和万邦”“互利共赢”等重要理念，与构建人类命运共同体的理念高度契合，为解决人类共同面临的气候变化、贫富分化、文明冲突、公共卫生安全等全球性问题提供了科学的哲学指引和可行的思路方法。同时，中国式现代化的丰富实践经验和中国哲学自主知识体系的宝贵理论成果，通过共建“一带一路”倡议、金砖国家合作机制和全球南方合作等，为其他发展中国家提供了新的致思方向和道路选择，为他们探索自己的现代化发展道路提供了重要借鉴，有助于强化国际公平正义，推动构建人类命运共同体。

Constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy should always adhere to a clear attitude of openness and inclusiveness, firmly maintaining confidence in Chinese culture and adhering to the path of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics, while respecting the civilizations of all countries in the world and different development models. China advocates the common values of all humanity, such as peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom. The Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, and Global Governance Initiative proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping all have profound philosophical connotations. In the process of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, it is possible not only to enrich the global perspective and human values of the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy but also to provide rich intellectual resources for the contemporary development of world philosophy, helping to promote the epochal development of world philosophy.

构建中国哲学自主知识体系应当始终坚持开放包容的鲜明态度，既坚定中华文化自信、坚持中国特色社会主义现代化发展道路，又尊重世界各国文明、尊重不同发展模式。中国倡导和平、发展、公平、正义、民主、自由等全人类共同价值，习近平总书记提出的全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议、全球治理倡议，都具有深刻的哲学内涵。在文明交流互鉴的过程中，不仅可以丰富中国哲学自主知识体系的全球视域和人类价值，也能够为世界哲学的当代发展提供丰富的思想资源，有助于推动世界哲学的时代性发展。
