Foreword
前言
In his important speech at the Symposium on Philosophy and Social Sciences, General Secretary Xi Jinping, when analyzing the state of development of philosophy and social sciences in our country, clearly pointed out: “Our country is a major country in philosophy and social sciences; in terms of research teams, number of papers, and government investment, we rank among the top in the world. However, at present, our capabilities and levels in academic propositions, academic thought, academic viewpoints, academic standards, and academic discourse are still not commensurate with our country’s comprehensive national strength and international status.” At the same time, he emphasized the need to strive to build a philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. To build a philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, the foundation lies in constructing the disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system; the key lies in constructing the discourse system; and the core lies in refining identifying concepts and categories. Only by refining identifying concepts and categories from the great practice of China’s revolution, construction, and reform can we form our own discourse and discourse system; only by constructing a systematic and scientific discourse system can we properly build the corresponding disciplinary system and academic system; only by constructing the disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system well can we build a philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics that embodies Chinese features, Chinese style, and Chinese manner.
习近平总书记在哲学社会科学工作座谈会上的重要讲话中,对我国哲学社会科学发展状况进行分析时明确指出:“我国是哲学社会科学大国,研究队伍、论文数量、政府投入等在世界上都是排在前面的,但目前在学术命题、学术思想、学术观点、学术标准、学术话语上的能力和水平同我国综合国力和国际地位还不太相称。”同时强调,要着力构建中国特色哲学社会科学。构建中国特色哲学社会科学,基础在建构学科体系、学术体系、话语体系,关键在构建话语体系,核心在提炼标识性概念和范畴。只有从中国革命建设改革的伟大实践中提炼出标识性概念和范畴,才能形成自己的话语和话语体系;只有构建了一套系统科学的话语体系,才能建构好相应的学科体系与学术体系;只有建构好了学科体系、学术体系、话语体系,才能构建好体现中国特色、中国风格、中国气派的中国特色哲学社会科学。
Concepts are closely related to disciplinary construction and theoretical development, just as cells are to life. Without identifying concepts, or if they are not systematic, it is difficult for scientific theory to take shape, and the disciplinary system cannot be constructed either. Identifying concepts are not only the foundation for the development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, but also a marker of the maturity of our Party’s theory. The more concrete the reference of a concept in practice, the more thorough the theoretical edifice it supports, and the more explanatory power the theory has. Marxist epistemology holds that the proposal of a mature concept is a necessary stage for theoretical innovation to move from the abstract to the concrete. That is to say, theoretical innovation must first refine concepts or innovate concepts. Only when continuously refined concepts are understood and recognized do they gain vitality, thereby enabling theory to become clear and achieve logical, systematic, and scientific development.
概念与学科建构、理论发展之间密切相关,犹如细胞与生命一样的关系。标识性概念的缺乏或不成体系,科学理论难以形成,学科体系也无从建设。标识性概念既是中国特色哲学社会科学发展的基础,更是我们党的理论成熟的标志。概念在实践中的指向越具体,它所支撑起来的理论大厦就越具有彻底性,理论就越有解释力。马克思主义认识论认为,一个成熟概念的提出是理论创新从抽象到具体的必经阶段。也就是说,理论创新首先要提炼概念或概念创新。只有当不断提炼的概念得到认识与认可,它才有生命力,进而才能使理论明晰而实现逻辑化、系统化和科学化。
Although we have the most say in interpreting Chinese practice and constructing Chinese theory, because the identifying concepts and categories that can gain recognition both domestically and internationally are still lacking and not systematic, the voice of our country’s philosophy and social sciences in the international arena remains relatively weak, and we are still in a situation where we have reasons but cannot articulate them, or when articulated, they cannot be disseminated. Being adept at refining identifying concepts and creating new concepts, new categories, and new expressions that are easy for the international community to understand and accept is an urgent task for constructing our discourse system, and even our disciplinary system and academic system.
虽说我们在解读中国实践、构建中国理论上最有发言权,但因我们能得到国内外认同的标识性概念和范畴还有所缺失且不成体系,致使我国哲学社会科学在国际上的声音还比较小,还处于有理说不出、说了传不开的境地。要善于提炼标识性概念,打造易于为国际社会所理解和接受的新概念、新范畴、新表述,是构建我们的话语体系乃至学科体系和学术体系的当务之急。
In the great practice of achieving brilliant successes in revolution, construction, and reform, our Party, following the laws of human social development, conforming to the characteristics of the times, and fully exercising its capacity for innovation, has successively formed Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development in theory, while also refining many identifying concepts that support these theories. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has systematically answered the major epochal question of “what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics to uphold and develop in the New Era, and how to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics” from the combination of theory and practice, deepened the understanding of the laws of governance by the Communist Party, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development with a new perspective, engaged in arduous theoretical exploration, achieved major theoretical innovations, and formed the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, many new identifying concepts that conform to the characteristics of the times have been refined. These concepts, due to their scientific nature, have not only become solid cornerstones of the theoretical edifice of the new thought, but have also increasingly gained universal recognition from domestic and even international society. For example, in his important speech at the Symposium on Philosophy and Social Sciences in May 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, developing the socialist market economy, developing socialist democratic politics, developing socialist consultative democracy, building a socialist rule-of-law system with Chinese characteristics, developing advanced socialist culture, cultivating and practicing the core socialist values, building a socialist harmonious society, building an ecological civilization, constructing a new open economic system, implementing a holistic approach to national security, building a community with a shared future for mankind, advancing the Belt and Road Initiative, adhering to a correct view of righteousness and benefit, strengthening the Party’s governance capacity, adhering to the path of building a strong military with Chinese characteristics and realizing the Party’s goal of building a strong military under the new circumstances, and so on, are all concepts and theories we have proposed that are original and epochal.
我们党在革命建设改革取得辉煌成就的伟大实践中,依循着人类社会发展规律,顺应着时代特征,充分发挥创新能力,在理论上相继形成毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观,同时提炼出许多支撑这些理论的标识性概念。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央从理论和实践结合上系统回答“新时代坚持和发展什么样的中国特色社会主义、怎样坚持和发展中国特色社会主义”这一重大时代课题,以全新的视野深化对共产党执政规律、社会主义建设规律、人类社会发展规律的认识,进行艰辛理论探索,取得重大理论创新成果,形成了新时代中国特色社会主义思想。党的十八大以来提炼出许多新的符合时代特征的标识性概念,这些概念因其科学性不仅成为新思想这一理论大厦的坚实的奠基石,而且越来越得到国内乃至国际社会的普遍认同。比如,2016年5月,习近平总书记在哲学社会科学工作座谈会上的重要讲话中指出:推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化,发展社会主义市场经济,发展社会主义民主政治,发展社会主义协商民主,建设中国特色社会主义法治体系,发展社会主义先进文化,培育和践行社会主义核心价值观,建设社会主义和谐社会,建设生态文明,构建开放型经济新体制,实施总体国家安全观,建设人类命运共同体,推进“一带一路”建设,坚持正确义利观,加强党的执政能力建设,坚持走中国特色强军之路、实现党在新形势下的强军目标,等等,都是我们提出的具有原创性、时代性的概念和理论。
The Marxist Theoretical Innovation Think Tank of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences intends to extract some important core identifying concepts from the Party’s innovative theories since the 18th National Congress of the CPC for theoretical and academic interpretation, forming a research series titled “Identifying Concepts of the New Thought in the New Era.” In selecting concepts and conducting interpretations, the following basic requirements have been followed: First, it must embody both academic nature and political nature, achieving an organic integration of the political and the academic. Second, it must embody both theoretical value and practical value. These concepts are abstracted, refined, and elevated from practice, possessing significant practical and theoretical value; at the same time, these concepts have guiding value for advancing practice. Third, it must be based on embodying “Chinese characteristics” while also absorbing beneficial experiences and theories from abroad. Fourth, it must be based on China while also looking at the world. Fifth, it must adhere to Marxism while also embodying China’s excellent traditional culture, achieving an organic integration of the two.
中国社会科学院马克思主义理论创新智库,拟从党的十八大以来党的创新理论中提取部分重要的核心的标识性概念进行理论和学术上的解读,形成“新时代新思想标识性概念”研究系列丛书。在选择概念和进行解读时,遵循了以下几个基本要求:一是既要体现学术性,也要体现政治性,要做到政治性与学术性有机结合。二是既要体现理论价值,也要体现实践价值。这些概念是从实践中抽象提炼升华出来的,具有重大实践价值和理论价值;同时,这些概念又对推进实践具有指导性价值。三是既要立足体现“中国特色”,也要吸收外来有益的经验与理论。四是既要立足中国,也要放眼世界。五是既要坚持马克思主义,也要体现中国优秀传统文化,做到二者有机结合。
This think tank, in cooperation with People’s Daily Press, has published the “Identifying Concepts of the New Thought in the New Era” series. The first series, consisting of eight types of books, has already been published, and this time the second series, consisting of eight new books, is being published. It is hoped that this series will help Party members and cadres to study and understand the new thought of the New Era.
本智库与人民日报出版社合作出版“新时代新思想标识性概念丛书”,已经出版了第一辑共八种图书,本次出版第二辑的八种新书。希望本套丛书有助于广大党员干部学习和领会新时代新思想。
