On the World-Oriented Dimension of the Innovative Development of Ideological and Political Education in the New Era
曾令辉 卜路平:论新时代思想政治教育创新发展的世界向度
In the face of the new circumstances and new tasks of the new journey of the New Era, ideological and political education must give full play to its new role and assume the mission of cultivating more generations of new people who can reassure the Party, love and dedicate themselves to the country, and bear the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation. Since the establishment of the discipline of ideological and political education 40 years ago, it has achieved fruitful results and accumulated rich theoretical and practical experience. In the New Era, China’s ideological and political education must not only develop innovatively in response to the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, answering the questions of China and the questions of the people, but also pay greater attention to basing itself on the changes unseen in a century, adopting a broader international perspective, actively interpreting and answering the questions of the world. To promote the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education in the New Era, it is necessary for ideological and political education to innovatively develop its power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth in the diversity of world civilizations, to innovatively develop its narrative and communication power in adapting to new changes in modern international exchange and communication, to innovatively develop its discursive interpretive power in the blending and interweaving of human ideological and cultural exchanges, and to innovatively develop its power of self-confidence on the basis of rooted advantages and characteristics. The power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth, the power of narrative and communication, the power of discursive interpretation, and the power of self-confidence together constitute the new dimension of the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education.
思想政治教育面对新时代新征程的新形势新任务必须要发挥其新作为,承担起培养更多让党放心、爱国奉献、担当民族复兴重任的时代新人的使命任务。思想政治教育学科设立40年以来取得了丰硕的成就,积累了丰富的理论和实践经验。新时代我国思想政治教育不仅要面向中华民族伟大复兴战略全局创新发展,回答中国之问、人民之问,同时思想政治教育还要更加注重立足世界百年未有之大变局,以更加宽广的国际视野,面向世界积极阐释和回答世界之问。推进新时代思想政治教育面向世界创新发展,需要思想政治教育在世界文明多样性中创新发展其和合共生力,在适应现代国际交流传播新变化中创新发展其叙事传播力,在与人类思想文化交流交融中创新发展其话语阐释力,在根植优势特色基础上创新发展其自信力。和合共生力、叙事传播力、话语阐释力和自信力共同构建起思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的新向度。
I. Innovatively Developing the World-Oriented Power of Harmonious Coexistence and Co-Growth of Ideological and Political Education on the Basis of Inclusiveness and Mutual Learning
一、在包容互鉴基础上创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的和合共生力
Innovatively developing the world-oriented power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth of ideological and political education is the basic premise and foundation for the world-oriented development of ideological and political education. Only by innovatively developing its own power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth in the blending and interweaving with diverse world cultures can ideological and political education have the possibility of development in the exchange of world ideas and cultures. Xi Jinping pointed out: “Mutual respect, working together with one heart, and harmonious coexistence and co-growth are the correct path for the development of human civilization.” [1]1 Xi Jinping, “Working Together to Build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind,” speech at the United Nations Office at Geneva, January 18, 2017. The greatest wisdom of coexistence does not lie in “seeking common ground,” but in seeking constructive unity within opposing and contradictory relations. “Coexistence is a benign state in which different things mutually generate and grow together in co-existence. Its essence is not only non-overlap, non-negation, coexistence and cohabitation, but also transcends these to reach co-growth and mutual promotion.” [2]2 Ren Ping, “On the Philosophy of Coexistence,” *Philosophical Research*, 2018, no. 4.3 In a system of coexistence, “through autonomous adaptation, together with other cultures, learning from each other’s strengths to offset weaknesses, jointly establishing a basic order commonly recognized and a set of coexistence rules under which various cultures can coexist peacefully, each displaying its strengths, and developing hand in hand” [3]3 Fei Xiaotong, “Reflections on Cultural Self-Awareness,” in *Selected Works of Fei Xiaotong*, vol. 16 (Inner Mongolia People’s Publishing House, 2009).188. Only when ideological and political education is in a state of harmony where each culture appreciates its own beauty and also appreciates the beauty of others, can it have vitality and continuously develop. To innovatively develop the world-oriented power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth of ideological and political education does not mean replacing one paradigm with another, or negating one type with another, but rather, in the process of exchanging with different discourse systems of the world, learning from the world for regeneration, adhering to the basic stance of Marxism, and promoting the formation of durable and resilient relations of harmonious coexistence and co-growth.
创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的和合共生力,是思想政治教育面向世界发展的基本前提和基础,思想政治教育只有在与世界多元文化交流交融中创新发展自身的和合共生力,方能在世界思想文化交流中具有发展的可能。习近平指出:“相互尊重、和衷共济、和合共生是人类文明发展的正确道路。”[1]共生的最大智慧不在于“求同”,而是在对立矛盾关系中求建设性的统一,“共生是不同事物在共存中相生相成、共同生长的良性状态,其要义不仅是互不覆盖、互不否定、共存共处,而且超越之而及同生共长、相互促进。”[2]3在共生系统中,“经过自主的适应,和其他文化一起,取长补短,共同建立一个有共同认可的基本秩序和一套各种文化能和平共处,各抒所长,联手发展的共处守则”[3]188,只有在与世界不同话语体系处在各美其美、美人之美的和合状态中,思想政治教育才有可能有生机,才有可能不断地发展。面向世界创新发展思想政治教育和合共生力,并不是要以一种范式取代另一种范式,或者以一种类型否定另一种类型,而是要在与世界不同话语体系交流过程中,面向世界借鉴再生,坚持马克思主义基本立场,推动持久、韧性的和合共生关系形成。
First, enhance the world-oriented power of learning and regeneration of ideological and political education. The *Book of Rites* states: “Music unites; ritual distinguishes. Unity brings affinity; distinction brings respect.” [4]4 *Book of Rites: Record of Music*, in *Thirteen Classics with Annotations and Commentaries*, vol. 3 (Zhonghua Book Company, 2009).1529 Due to differences in historical backgrounds, cultural genes, and behavioral habits, the development of ideological and political education cultures in various countries has its own advantages and characteristics. The civilizations of each country are deeply rooted in their own soil, embodying extraordinary wisdom and spiritual pursuits, and nurturing the nutrients of human civilization. Xi Jinping pointed out: “Civilizations have no superiority or inferiority; they only have characteristics and regional differences. Differences between civilizations should not become the root of world conflicts, but should become the driving force for the progress of human civilization.” [5]5 Xi Jinping, “Working Together to Build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind,”421 The development of civilizations should not be “uniform in flavor”; a peaceful world should bear diverse civilizations. China’s ideological and political education has a distinct world character. From a vertical, diachronic perspective, China’s ideological and political education nurtures the nutrients of world human civilization thought and is an important part of the flourishing development of world culture; from a horizontal, synchronic perspective, China’s ideological and political education exchanges and blends with ideological and political education in other countries of the world, becoming an important driving force jointly promoting the development of human civilization. To enhance the world-oriented power of learning and regeneration of ideological and political education, it is necessary, in exchanges with other nations of the world, to respect the diversity and differences of ideological and political education in different countries of the world, extensively learn from the positive and beneficial achievements of ideological and political education in different countries of the world, and form an ideological and political education with Chinese characteristics and Chinese style. In the 40 years since the establishment of the discipline of ideological and political education, China’s ideological and political education has consistently focused on critically learning from the beneficial experiences and achievements of ideological and political education in other countries, continuously enhancing its own power of learning and regeneration, and promoting the innovative development of ideological and political education. In terms of implicit ideological and political education, on the basis of critically learning from the concepts of penetrative teaching and integrated teaching in other countries of the world, China’s ideological and political education continuously promotes the integrated development of explicit education and implicit education, combining systematic instruction with subtle influence, forming a collaborative model of explicit and implicit education unique to China’s ideological and political education, thereby enhancing the collaborative educational power of ideological and political education. In terms of environmental education in ideological and political education, on the basis of critically learning from environmental creation theories of other countries of the world, China’s ideological and political education actively utilizes online and offline venues (bases) to carry out revolutionary tradition education and patriotic education, innovatively developing the carrier of immersive teaching in the “grand ideological and political courses” [n] with Chinese characteristics. In terms of ritual education, on the basis of critically learning from ritual education in other countries of the world, China’s ideological and political education utilizes and transforms it into ritual education with Chinese characteristics, running vertically through all stages from primary school to university and horizontally through schools and society, enhancing the educational function of rituals such as school opening ceremonies, Party and League membership oath-taking ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, flag-raising ceremonies, commemoration day ceremonies, and festival ceremonies, improving individual spiritual cultivation, strengthening value identification, promoting emotional edification, and driving the development of the world-oriented power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth of China’s ideological and political education.
第一,增强思想政治教育面向世界的借鉴再生力。《礼记》云:“乐者为同,礼者为异。同则相亲,异则相敬。”[4]1529由于历史背景、文化基因、行为习惯的不同,各国在思想政治教育文化上的发展具有各自的优势与特色,各国文明的发展都深深根植于自己的土壤中,凝聚着非凡智慧和精神追求,孕育着人类文明的营养。习近平指出:“文明没有高下、优劣之分,只有特色、地域之别。文明差异不应该成为世界冲突的根源,而应该成为人类文明进步的动力。”[5]421文明的发展不应该是“统一味道”,一个和平的世界应该承载多样的文明。我国思想政治教育具有鲜明的世界性,从纵向的历时性角度看,我国思想政治教育孕育着世界人类文明思想的营养,是世界文化繁荣发展的重要部分;从横向的共时性角度看,我国思想政治教育与世界各国思想政治教育交流交融,成为共同推动人类文明发展的重要推动力。增强思想政治教育面向世界的借鉴再生力,须在与世界其他民族交流中,尊重世界不同国家思想政治教育的多样性与差异性,广泛借鉴世界不同国家思想政治教育取得的积极有益成果,形成具有中国特色和中国风格的思想政治教育。思想政治教育学科设立40年来,我国思想政治教育一直注重批判性借鉴各国思想政治教育有益的经验和成果,不断提升自身的借鉴再生力,推进思想政治教育创新发展。在思想政治教育隐性教育方面,我国思想政治教育在批判性借鉴世界其他国家的渗透性教学、融合式教学理念的基础上,不断推动显性教育与隐性教育的融合发展,将系统传授与潜移默化影响结合起来,形成独具我国思想政治教育特色的显性教育与隐性教育的协同模式,提高思想政治教育协同育人力;在思想政治教育环境育人上,我国思想政治教育在批判性借鉴世界其他国家的环境创设理论基础上,积极利用线上线下场馆(基地)开展革命传统教育、爱国主义教育,创新发展具有我国思想政治教育特色的“大思政课”沉浸式教学的载体;在仪式教育方面,我国思想政治教育在批判性借鉴世界其他国家的仪式教育的基础上,利用并转化为具有中国特色的纵向贯穿大中小学全学段、横向贯穿学校与社会的仪式教育,增强开学仪式、入党入团宣誓仪式、毕业仪式、升旗仪式、纪念日仪式、节日仪式等仪式育人功能,提高个体精神修养、强化价值认同、促进情感熏陶,推动我国思想政治教育面向世界和合共生力的发展。
Second, the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education must adhere to the basic stance of Marxism. The basic stance is the value position and value attitude upheld when handling various relations in interactions with the world. It is the basic requirement for ensuring that ideological and political education does not change its flavor, color, or essence in its world-oriented innovative development. Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must study and learn from all beneficial knowledge systems and research methods, and cannot adopt an attitude of unanalyzed and wholesale rejection.” [6]6 The citation number [7] refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering.341 World civilizations are diverse and pluralistic. The basic concepts of Western ideological and political education have played a positive role in promoting the development process of the vast majority of Western countries. The moral thought they have accumulated has undergone several hundred years of exploration, forming ideological education and moral education based on Western modernity. Although Western ideological and political education has its value in specific stages, it also has obvious historical limitations. Under the new circumstances of increasingly frequent blending and interweaving of world ideas and cultures, ideological and political education must, in its world-oriented innovative development, adhere even more firmly to the basic stance of Marxism, use Marxist standpoints, viewpoints, and methods to dialectically treat modern Western ideology and culture, continuously innovate and develop the world-oriented disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system of ideological and political education, explore and construct an independent knowledge system of ideological and political education with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese manner, and innovatively develop the power of harmonious coexistence and co-growth of ideological and political education. In areas such as a community with a shared future for mankind, common values of all humanity, ecological civilization, ethics and morality, youth ideological development, psychological crisis intervention, and network governance, it is necessary to contribute the unique wisdom and solutions of China’s ideological and political education, making due contributions to the common progress and common prosperity of human society.
第二,思想政治教育面向世界创新发展要坚持马克思主义基本立场。基本立场是在与世界交往中处理各种关系时所秉持的价值立场和价值态度,是思想政治教育在面向世界创新发展中确保不变味、不变色、不变质的基本要求。习近平指出:“对一切有益的知识体系和研究方法,我们都要研究借鉴,不能采取不加分析、一概排斥的态度。”[6]341世界文明多元多样,西方思想政治教育的基本理念在绝大多数西方国家的发展历程中均起到了积极的促进作用,其所积累的道德思想经过了几百年的探索,形成了以西方现代性为基础的思想教育、道德教育等。尽管西方思想政治教育有其特定阶段的价值,但是也有其明显的历史局限性。在当今世界思想文化交流交融日益频繁的新形势下,思想政治教育在面向世界创新发展中更要坚持马克思主义基本立场,运用马克思主义立场观点方法辩证对待现代西方思想文化,不断创新发展面向世界的思想政治教育学科体系、学术体系、话语体系,探索构建起具有中国特色、中国风格、中国气派的思想政治教育自主知识体系,创新发展思想政治教育的和合共生力。在人类命运共同体、全人类共同价值、生态文明、伦理道德、青年思想发展、心理危机干预和网络治理等方面,需要贡献我国思想政治教育独特的智慧和方案,为人类社会共同进步共同繁荣作出应有贡献。
II. Innovatively Developing the World-Oriented Narrative and Communication Power of Ideological and Political Education on the Basis of Adapting to the Changes of the Times
二、在适应时代之变基础上创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的叙事传播力
Innovating and developing the narrative and communicative power of ideological and political education is an important dimension of its world-oriented innovative development. In the current world situation of changes unseen in a century, ideological and political education not only bears the task of explaining and answering the questions of China and the questions of the people, but also bears the task of explaining and answering the questions of the world. On the basis of adapting to the changes of the times, innovating and developing a world-oriented narrative and communicative power is the basic requirement for the world-oriented development of ideological and political education, and is an effective "way" to resolve the frequent predicament faced by ideological and political education on the world platform for ideological and cultural exchange: having something to say but being unable to articulate it, having something to say but being unable to explain it thoroughly, and having something to say but being unable to disseminate it effectively. Xi Jinping pointed out: "Telling the China story well, spreading China's voice well, and presenting a true, multi-dimensional, and comprehensive China are important tasks for strengthening our country's international communication capacity building." [7]7 The citation number [8]199-200 refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering. [6]6 The citation number [7] refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering. Currently, the narrative and communication concepts, content, demands, and environment of China's ideological and political education oriented toward the world have undergone significant changes. The need for countries worldwide to promote people-to-people connectivity and strengthen international mutual trust has become more urgent. Facing the changes unseen in a century, China's ideological and political education still confronts a situation within the world discourse system where "the skills of explanation and the intensity of communication are still insufficient, the international awareness and recognition of contemporary Chinese values are not yet high, and it is sometimes in the passive position of having something to say but no place to say it, or saying it but being unable to spread it" [8]8 The citation number [8]212 refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering.199-200. [7]7 The citation number [8]199-200 refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering. For ideological and political education in the New Era to overcome and escape the predicament of "having something to say but being unable to articulate it" and "saying it but being unable to spread it" within the world discourse system, the key is to construct the narrative and communicative power of the international discourse of ideological and political education oriented toward the world. The world orientation of ideological and political education requires, on the one hand, the creative transformation of the narrative and communication paradigm of ideological and political education to achieve effective alignment with international discourse and build a platform for Sino-Western ideological exchange; on the other hand, it requires the innovative development of the narrative and communication pathways of ideological and political education, constructing a narrative system for ideological and political education that meets the needs of a new communication ecology for exchange and integration among peoples of all countries, thereby enhancing the international communication power and persuasiveness of ideological and political education.
创新发展思想政治教育的叙事传播力,是思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的重要向度。当今世界百年未有之大变局,思想政治教育不仅肩负着阐释和回答中国之问、人民之问的任务,也肩负起阐释和回答世界之问的任务。在适应时代之变的基础上创新发展面向世界的叙事传播力,是思想政治教育面向世界发展的基本要求,是破解思想政治教育在世界思想文化交流平台常常面临的有理说不出、有理说不透、有理传播不开的有效之“道”。习近平指出:“讲好中国故事,传播好中国声音,展示真实、立体、全面的中国,是加强我国国际传播能力建设的重要任务。”[7]当前,我国思想政治教育面向世界的叙事传播理念、传播内容、传播需求和传播环境发生显著变化,世界各国对促进民心相通、加强国际互信需求更加迫切。面对世界百年未有之大变局,我国思想政治教育在世界话语体系中依然面临着“阐释技巧、传播力度还不够,当代中国价值观念的国际知晓率和认同度还不高,有时处于有理没处说、说了也传不开的被动境地”[8]199-200。新时代思想政治教育在世界话语体系中要克服和摆脱“有理说不出”“说了传不开”的困境,关键是要构建起思想政治教育面向世界的国际话语的叙事传播力。思想政治教育面向世界既要创造性转化思想政治教育叙事传播范式,实现有效对接国际话语,搭建中西思想交流平台;又要创新性发展思想政治教育叙事传播路径,建构起满足各国人民交流交融传播新生态所需的思想政治教育叙事体系,提升思想政治教育的国际传播力和说服力。
First, creatively transform the world-oriented narrative and communication paradigm of ideological and political education. The reason why ideological and political education has exerted strong organizational, mobilizational, and cohesive power in various historical periods of the Chinese revolution, construction, and reform is that ideological and political education possesses a powerful narrative and communicative power oriented toward the broad masses of the people, thereby stimulating the revolutionary enthusiasm and construction impetus of the people, and providing a strong ideological guarantee and spiritual motivation for promoting social progress and historical development. Today, facing the changes unseen in a century, while inheriting and developing its advantages in domestic-oriented narrative and communication, ideological and political education must also focus on creatively transforming its world-oriented narrative and communication paradigms, methods, and approaches. The world-oriented creative transformation of the narrative and communicative power of ideological and political education does not mean changing the current international discourse communication narrative system; rather, it requires ideological and political education to strive to create new concepts, new categories, and new narrative methods that connect China and the foreign world, achieving effective dialogue between different cultural systems, as well as effective translation and meaning conversion of concepts and categories, so that Chinese stories and Chinese voices are transformed into narrative discourses that are easy for the international community to understand and accept. First, promote the creative transformation of the world-oriented narrative and communication paradigm of fine traditional Chinese culture, creatively transforming the educational ideas contained in fine traditional Chinese culture, such as philosophical thought, humanistic spirit, value concepts, and moral norms, from a domestic narrative mode into an international narrative and communication paradigm, making them ideological concepts, value concepts, and institutional norms that can be generally understood and recognized by people of all countries, realizing the transformation of the narrative and communication mode of fine traditional Chinese culture into an international narrative and communication paradigm. Second, promote the creative transformation of the narrative and communication paradigm of Marxism adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. An important mission of the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education in the New Era is to publicize and disseminate Marxism adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, especially to use the Marxist stand, viewpoint, and method to carry out the creative transformation of the world-oriented narrative and communication paradigm around important topics such as Chinese-path modernization, a community with a shared future for mankind, the new form of human civilization, and the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, telling the story of contemporary Chinese Marxism well, spreading the voice of contemporary Chinese Marxism, and promoting the effective world-oriented dissemination of contemporary Chinese Marxism. Finally, promote the creative development of the network narrative and communication paradigm of ideological and political education. It is necessary to focus on the biggest variable fields such as network technology, digital technology, and artificial intelligence technology, take the initiative, strengthen network ideological risk prevention and control and network governance, seize the initiative in discourse in cyberspace, and construct a new paradigm for network narrative and communication.
第一,创造性转化思想政治教育面向世界的叙事传播范式。思想政治教育之所以在中国革命、建设和改革各个历史时期发挥出强大的组织、动员和凝聚力,是因为思想政治教育具有面向广大人民群众强大的叙事传播力,从而激发了人民群众的革命热情和建设动力,为推动社会进步和历史发展提供了强大的思想保证和精神动力。当今面向世界百年未有之大变局,思想政治教育在继承和发展面向国内叙事传播优势的同时,也要着力面向世界创造性转化思想政治教育叙事传播范式与方式方法。面向世界创造性转化思想政治教育叙事传播力,并不是改变目前国际话语传播叙事体系,而是思想政治教育需要着力打造融通中外的新概念、新范畴、新叙事方式,实现不同文化系统之间的有效对话,以及概念、范畴的有效翻译与意义转换,使中国故事、中国声音转化为易于为国际社会所理解和接受的通俗易懂的叙事话语。首先,推动中华优秀传统文化面向世界叙事传播范式的创造性转化,把中华优秀传统文化中蕴含的哲学思想、人文精神、价值理念、道德规范等育人思想从国内叙事的方式创造性转化为国际叙事传播范式,使其成为世界各国民众普遍能够理解、认同的思想观念、价值理念和制度规范,实现中华优秀传统文化叙事传播方式向国际叙事传播范式转化。其次,推动中国化时代化的马克思主义叙事传播范式创造性转化。新时代思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的重要使命是宣传传播中国化时代化的马克思主义,尤其是要运用马克思主义立场观点方法,围绕中国式现代化、人类命运共同体、人类文明新形态、共建“一带一路”等重要议题开展面向世界叙事传播范式创造性转化,讲好当代中国马克思主义故事,传播当代中国马克思主义声音,推动当代中国马克思主义面向世界有效传播。最后,推动思想政治教育网络叙事传播范式创造性发展。要聚焦网络技术、数字技术、人工智能技术等最大变量领域,主动出击,强化网络意识形态风险防控和网络治理,掌握网络虚拟空间话语主动权,构建起网络叙事传播新范式。
Second, innovate the world-oriented narrative and communication carriers of ideological and political education. Innovating and developing world-oriented narrative carriers is an important medium for the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education. The bottleneck restricting the world-oriented development of ideological and political education in the New Era is the lack of effective narrative and communication carriers for international exchange, hence it often faces the carrier deficiency of having something to say but being unable to articulate it. Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must organize various splendid and refined story carriers, embedding the Chinese path, Chinese theory, Chinese system, Chinese spirit, and Chinese strength within them" [8]8 The citation number [8]212 refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering.212. [8]8 The citation number [8]212 refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering. In terms of textual narrative carriers, it is necessary to construct world-oriented textual narrative carriers and narrative methods for ideological and political education, helping the international society to understand Chinese stories more consciously and be willing to listen to Chinese voices, preventing misinterpretation or misreading; in terms of image narrative carriers, it is necessary to effectively improve the supply of image narrative content suitable for general acceptance by the international community, constructing dynamic images including films, TV series, documentaries, animations, micro-videos, etc., presenting vivid and graphic narratives, enhancing the contemporaneity of the narrative mode of ideological and political education and the effectiveness of the narrative effect; in terms of digital narrative carriers, relying on cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and cloud computing, enriching immersive narrative scenes integrating elements of reason, context, and emotion, transforming the manifestation form of narrative content from flat and static to three-dimensional, diverse, vivid, and lively modalities, making the "way" of the Chinese path, Chinese theory, Chinese system, Chinese spirit, and Chinese strength visualizable, imageable, and vivid, so that the international community wants to listen and loves to listen, listens with reflection, and listens with gain.
第二,创新思想政治教育面向世界叙事传播载体。创新发展面向世界叙事载体是思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的重要介体。新时代制约思想政治教育面向世界发展的瓶颈是缺乏有效与国际交流的叙事传播载体,因而时常面临有理说不出的载体不足。习近平指出:“要组织各种精彩、精炼的故事载体,把中国道路、中国理论、中国制度、中国精神、中国力量寓于其中”[8]212,在文本叙事传播载体上,要构建面向世界的思想政治教育文本叙事载体和叙事方式,帮助国际社会更加自觉地了解中国故事,愿意倾听中国声音,防止曲解或误读;在图像叙事载体上,要有效提高适合国际社会普遍接受的图像叙事的内容供给,构建以电影、连续剧、纪录片、动漫、微视频等内容的动态图像,呈现生动、形象的叙事,提升思想政治教育叙事方式的时代性和叙事效果的实效性;在数字叙事载体上,依托人工智能、虚拟现实、云计算等前沿技术,丰富融理、境、情等要素于一体的沉浸式叙事场景,实现叙事内容的表现形态从平面静态转向立体多样、鲜活生动的模态,使中国道路、中国理论、中国制度、中国精神、中国力量的“道”可视化、形象化、生动化,使国际社会想听爱听,听有所思,听有所得。
Third, innovate the world-oriented narrative and communication platforms of ideological and political education. First, actively innovate the world-oriented academic narrative and communication platforms of ideological and political education. Construct ideological and political education narrative platforms based on academic narrative and connected by international academic exchange, enhancing the influence of the academic narrative and communication of ideological and political education. Through academic exchange platforms with international influence, systematically elaborate and disseminate the historical origins, cultural foundations, and theoretical systems of China's ideological and political education, showcasing the unique charm and value of the disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system of China's ideological and political education, enhancing the international community's understanding and recognition of China's ideological and political education concepts. Second, innovatively utilize the narrative and communication channels of international non-governmental exchanges. Strengthen implicit education platforms, consciously and organically integrating fine traditional Chinese culture into international non-governmental exchange narrative platforms. This can not only more vividly and popularly disseminate the colorful stories currently happening in China, gaining resonance and recognition from people around the world, but also play a positive role in the mutual enrichment and exchange of different civilizations, enhancing mutual understanding and cognition with people of the world, and narrowing the information gap in international communication. Strengthen the selection of advanced deeds around people's daily lives, growth stories and cases of ordinary people, touching people's hearts and triggering emotional resonance.
第三,创新思想政治教育面向世界叙事传播平台。首先,积极创新思想政治教育面向世界的学理叙事传播平台。构建起以学理叙事为基础,以国际学术交流为联结的思想政治教育叙事平台,提升思想政治教育学理叙事传播的影响力。通过具有国际影响力的学术交流平台,系统阐述和传播我国思想政治教育历史渊源、文化根基和理论体系,展现我国思想政治教育学科体系、学术体系、话语体系的独特魅力和价值所在,增进国际社会对我国思想政治教育理念的理解和认同。其次,要创新性运用国际民间往来的叙事传播通道。强化隐性教育平台,有意识地将中华优秀传统文化有机地融入国际民间往来叙事平台,不仅可以更加生动、通俗地传播当下发生在中国多姿多彩的故事,获得世界民众的共鸣与认同,而且为不同文明交相辉映和交流互鉴,增进与世界人民相互了解和认知,缩小国际传播中的信息鸿沟发挥积极作用。加强选取与人们生活息息相关的身边的先进事迹、普通人的成长故事和案例,触动人们的内心,引发情感共鸣。
Fourth, optimize the narrative and communication strategies of ideological and political education. First, it is necessary to elevate the “Way” (道) of ideological and political education’s narrative and communication toward the world. Follow the basic principles and laws of narrative communication, emphasize a people-centered approach and content as king, avoid tendencies toward emptiness, aridity, and formalism, and enable the international community to better understand the development of Chinese ideological and political education theory and practice, as well as the Chinese ideological and political education system and talent cultivation model. Second, it is necessary to elevate the “technique” (术) of ideological and political education’s narrative and communication toward the world. Skillfully utilize official media such as Xinhua News Agency, CCTV International Channel, and China Radio International; utilize new media and social media channels and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; utilize educational exchange platforms such as the Confucius Institute and the China Scholarship Council to disseminate Chinese thought and culture to audiences around the world. Finally, elevate the “method” (法) of ideological and political education’s narrative and communication toward the world. In the world-oriented discourse interpretation of ideological and political education, “do not tell stories for the sake of telling stories; rather, integrate the ‘Way’ into the stories, lead people into the ‘Way’ through engaging methods, and guide people to comprehend the ‘Way’ through patient persuasion” [8]8 The citation number [8]212 refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering.213. Skillfully employ vivid metaphors and philosophically rich quotations to make narrative communication more persuasive and appealing. Only narratives that are thoughtful, high-quality, warm, and affectionate can move people with emotion and attract people with interest, thereby promoting innovation in the narrative and communication methods of ideological and political education.
第四,优化思想政治教育叙事传播策略。首先,要提升思想政治教育面向世界叙事传播之“道”。遵循叙事传播的基本原则和规律,注重以人为本、内容为王,避免空洞化、干瘪化、形式化倾向,让国际社会更好地了解中国思想政治教育理论与实践发展状况,了解中国思想政治教育体系和人才培养模式。其次,要提升思想政治教育面向世界叙事传播之“术”。善于利用官方媒体如新华社、中央电视台国际频道、中国国际广播电台,利用新媒体、社交媒体如Facebook、Twitter、Instagram等渠道与工具,利用教育交流平台如孔子学院、中国国家留学基金委员会等平台向世界各国受众传播中国思想文化。最后,提升思想政治教育面向世界叙事传播之“法”。思想政治教育面向世界话语阐释“不要为了讲故事而讲故事,要把‘道’贯通于故事之中,通过引人入胜的方式启人入‘道’,通过循循善诱的方式让人悟‘道’”[8]213,善于运用生动形象的比喻、富有哲理的引述使叙事传播更具说服力和感染力,只有有思想、有品质,又有温度、有温情的叙事,才能实现以情动人、以趣引人,推动思想政治教育叙事传播方法的创新。
III. Innovatively Develop the World-Oriented Discourse Interpretive Power of Ideological and Political Education on the Basis of International Exchange and Integration
三、在国际交流交融基础上创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的话语阐释力
The world-oriented discourse interpretive power of ideological and political education refers to the capacity of ideological and political education to elucidate and explain the questions of the world and the questions of the times commonly faced by human society. In current international ideological, cultural, and educational cooperation and exchange, ideological and political education often “loses its voice” or “falls silent” when answering the questions of the world and the questions of the times. It faces the predicament of having sound reasoning that cannot be clearly articulated or fully explained, and its discourse interpretive power is insufficient, leading to weak persuasiveness in international exchange and dialogue. The root cause lies in the fact that when ideological and political education explains the principles behind the questions of the world and the questions of the times, it finds it difficult to explain them deeply, thoroughly, and vividly, and thus cannot effectively convince people or win their trust. To explain the questions of the world and the questions of the times deeply, thoroughly, and vividly, it is urgently necessary to innovatively develop the basic theory of ideological and political education and construct an independent knowledge system of ideological and political education with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese manner that faces the world. In the 40 years since the establishment of the discipline of ideological and political education, its basic theory has achieved fruitful results, playing a fundamental supporting role in the development of the discipline. However, the innovation of the basic theory of ideological and political education still lacks momentum, and especially the development of the world-oriented basic theory of ideological and political education still has considerable room for growth. The concern for and response to the questions of the world and the questions of the times by ideological and political education still remain at the level of empirical description, and it appears somewhat inadequate in providing convincing explanations from the essence of the issues, failing to demonstrate strong theoretical explanatory power. Innovatively developing the world-oriented discourse interpretive power of ideological and political education is particularly urgent and necessary.
思想政治教育面向世界话语阐释力是指思想政治教育对人类社会共同面临的世界之问与时代之问的阐发和解释的能力。在当下国际思想文化教育合作交流中,思想政治教育时常在回答世界之问和时代之问时“失语”“失声”,面临有理说不透和说不明白的境遇,话语阐释力不够,从而导致思想政治教育在国际交流对话中说服力不强。究其根源在于思想政治教育面向世界在阐释世界之问和时代之问的道理时,思想政治教育难以讲深讲透讲活,不能很好地说服人,难以令人信服。要把世界之问、时代之问讲深讲透讲活,就迫切要创新发展思想政治教育基础理论,构建起面向世界具有中国特色、中国风格、中国气派的思想政治教育自主知识体系。思想政治教育学科设立40年以来,思想政治教育基础理论取得了丰硕的成果,为思想政治教育学科发展发挥了根本性的支撑作用。然而,思想政治教育的基础理论创新仍然动力不足,尤其是思想政治教育面向世界的基础理论发展仍然具有相当大的发展空间。思想政治教育关切和回应世界之问和时代之问仍然停留在经验层面的描述上,从问题本质上给予令人信服的阐释略显力不从心,未能体现出强大的理论解释力。创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的话语阐释力显得尤为迫切和必要。
First, innovatively develop new world-oriented theories of ideological and political education. The times are the mother of thought; practice is the source of theory. To answer the questions of the world, ideological and political education must base itself on the reality of the current changes unseen in a century, confront world problems directly, summarize practical experience, focus on the theme of world peace and development, and explain and respond to a series of major theoretical and practical issues brought about by changes in the world and the times, such as the development of society and individuals, thereby constructing a new world-oriented theory of ideological and political education. For theory to convince people, it must be thorough. The thoroughness of theory lies in revealing the essence of things and grasping their laws. For ideological and political education to explain the questions of the world well, the fundamental point is to innovatively develop a new theory of ideological and political education that is thorough, convincing, and world-oriented. In the 40 years since the establishment of the discipline of ideological and political education, it has been oriented toward the domestic context, closely integrated with the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and has innovatively developed a series of ideological and political education theories that meet the task requirements of the Party in different historical periods. These theories have provided strong theoretical support for the Party’s theoretical arming, and through their powerful theoretical interpretive power, propaganda and mobilization power, and armed cohesion power, they have played an important role in mobilizing, arming, uniting, and rallying the people of all ethnic groups across the country to strive together in different historical periods. In summary, the ideological and political education theories innovatively developed in different historical periods possess strong theoretical interpretive power, propaganda and mobilization power, and armed cohesion power, reflecting the fundamental requirements of the Party in different historical periods and responding to the different expectations of the people.
第一,创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的新理论。时代是思想之母,实践是理论之源。思想政治教育要回答世界之问,必须立足当今世界百年未有之大变局实际,直面世界问题,总结实践经验,聚焦世界和平与发展这一主题,阐释和回答当今世界之变、时代之变所带来社会与人的发展等一系列重大理论和现实问题,构建起面向世界的思想政治教育新理论。理论要说服人,就必须彻底。理论的彻底性在于揭示事物本质,把握事物的规律。思想政治教育要阐释好世界之问,其根本在于面向世界创新发展阐释透彻令人信服的思想政治教育新理论。思想政治教育学科设立40年来,思想政治教育面向国内,紧密结合中国特色社会主义的伟大实践,创新发展形成了一系列适应党在不同历史时期任务要求的思想政治教育理论。这些理论为党的理论武装提供了强大的理论支撑,同时还通过其强大的理论阐释力、宣传动员力和武装凝聚力,为不同历史时期动员、武装、团结、凝聚全国各族人民团结奋斗发挥重要作用。归结起来,就是不同历史时期所创新发展的思想政治教育理论具有较强的理论阐释力、宣传动员力和武装凝聚力,反映了不同历史时期党的根本要求,回应了人民群众的不同期盼。
Facing the changes unseen in a century in the world, for ideological and political education to better respond to and explain the ideological needs brought about by changes in the world and the times for the development of human society and the people of various countries, it must innovatively develop new world-oriented theories of ideological and political education. To innovatively develop world-oriented theories of ideological and political education, it is necessary to base oneself on the current questions of the world and the questions of the times, grasp the general trends of world and era development, use the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method to analyze and explain the essential meaning of changes in the world and the times, guide the people of all countries to establish the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, establish the common values of all humanity, collaboratively carry out global governance, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, reveal the laws of the world-oriented development of ideological and political education, and continuously enhance the world-oriented theoretical explanatory power of ideological and political education. Currently, the world is facing changes unseen in a century, and humanity is confronted with a growing number of global issues and challenges such as peaceful development, environmental governance, and climate change. These require ideological and political education to provide corresponding and forceful explanations, to directly confront the common problems of today’s world, to use ideological and political education theory with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese manner to explain the principles of human social development deeply, thoroughly, and vividly, to actively respond to world concerns and the expectations of the people of various countries, and to answer the questions of the world and the questions of the times.
面向世界百年未有之大变局,思想政治教育要更好地回应和阐释世界之变、时代之变带给人类社会发展和各国人民群众的思想所需,就必须要创新发展面向世界的思想政治教育新理论。创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的理论,需要立足于当今世界之问和时代之问,把握世界和时代发展大势,运用马克思主义立场观点方法分析阐释世界之变和时代之变的本质要义,引导世界各国人民树立起人类命运共同体理念,树立起全人类共同价值,协同开展全球治理,推动人类命运共同体建设,揭示思想政治教育面向世界发展的规律,不断增强思想政治教育面向世界的理论解释力。当前世界正面临百年未有之大变局,人类面临着和平发展、环境治理、气候变化等世界性议题与难题不断增多,需要当下思想政治教育作出相应有力的阐释,需要直面当今世界共有的难题,用中国特色、中国风格、中国气派的思想政治教育理论,把人类社会发展的道理讲深讲透讲活,积极主动回应世界关切和各国人民所盼,回答世界之问和时代之问。
Second, innovatively develop a shared discourse for ideological and political education oriented toward the world. For ideological and political education to effectively interpret and respond to the questions of the world and the questions of the times, innovatively developing a shared discourse oriented toward the world is key, and even plays a decisive role. Innovatively developing a shared discourse for ideological and political education oriented toward the world necessarily requires realizing the transformation of the discourse of ideological and political education from domestic discourse to international discourse; this is the basic requirement for the innovative development of ideological and political education oriented toward the world in the New Era. Innovatively developing a shared discourse for ideological and political education oriented toward the world must be based on the advantages of China’s ideological and political education, while also adapting to new changes in the international discourse situation, achieving integration with international discourse. Specifically, in innovatively developing a shared discourse for ideological and political education oriented toward the world, we must absolutely not engage in “talking to ourselves” within the international exchange discourse system; rather, we must actively orient ourselves toward the world to respond to and resolve the major practical problems commonly faced by the international community. When drawing on and absorbing the national discourses of various countries within the international discourse system, because each country follows a different specific development path and has different historical and cultural traditions, we must avoid simple application and transplantation, and construct a discourse system for ideological and political education that people of all countries are willing to listen to, can understand, and can grasp clearly. Xi Jinping pointed out: “With regard to foreign theories, concepts, discourses, and methods, we must analyze and discriminate; those that are applicable we should use, and those that are not applicable we should not mechanically copy or transplant.” [6]6 The citation number [7] refers to the original source list in the Chinese text; the translation retains the original numbering.341 In short, innovatively developing a shared discourse for ideological and political education oriented toward the world requires being adept at, on the basis of drawing on the modes of expression of the international discourse system, transforming the advantages and characteristics of China’s ideological and political education discourse into an international mass discourse that can be accepted and recognized by the international community, thereby enhancing the appeal, influence, and impact of ideological and political education, and winning recognition for the discourse of ideological and political education oriented toward the world. To promote the discourse of ideological and political education to go global and enhance its international explanatory power and communication capacity, we must fully leverage the advantage of ideological and political education in adhering to the guidance of Marxist scientific theory, uphold the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method, and use the shared discourse of ideological and political education oriented toward the world to interpret the questions of the world and decipher the changes of the world.
第二,创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语。思想政治教育要有效地阐释、回答世界之问和时代之问,创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语是关键,甚至起着决定性作用。创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语,必须要实现思想政治教育话语从国内话语向国际话语转换,这是新时代思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的基本要求。创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语,要立足我国思想政治教育优势,又要适应国际话语形势新变化,实现与国际话语的接轨。具体来说,创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语,绝不能在国际交流话语体系中“自说自话”,而是要主动面向世界回应和解答国际社会共同面临的重大现实问题。在借鉴吸收国际话语体系的各国国家话语时,由于每个国家具体发展道路的不同,历史文化传统的不同,要避免简单套用和移植,构建起各国人民愿意听、听得懂、听得明白的思想政治教育话语体系。习近平提出:“对国外的理论、概念、话语、方法,要有分析、有鉴别,适用的就拿来用,不适用的就不要生搬硬套。”[6]341简言之,创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语,要善于在借鉴国际话语体系言说方式的基础上,将我国思想政治教育话语的优势和特色转化为能被国际社会所接受、认同的国际大众话语,增强思想政治教育的吸引力、感染力、影响力,赢得思想政治教育面向世界话语的认同感。推动思想政治教育话语走向世界,提升思想政治教育国际话语阐释力和传播力,要充分发挥思想政治教育坚持马克思主义科学理论指导的优势,坚持马克思主义的立场观点方法,用思想政治教育面向世界的共有话语阐释世界之问,解读世界之变。
IV. Innovatively Developing the Self-Confidence of Ideological and Political Education Oriented Toward the World on the Basis of Rooted Advantages and Characteristics
四、在根植优势特色基础上创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的自信力
The self-confidence of ideological and political education is built both on the disciplinary strength derived from the historic achievements and historic transformations over the 40 years since the establishment of the discipline of ideological and political education, and on the solid support of full recognition of the value of ideological and political education. Today, changes of the world, changes of the times, and changes of history are unfolding in unprecedented ways, and the peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit, and governance deficit are constantly worsening. For ideological and political education in the New Era to actively participate in global governance and possess more discourse to respond to the changes of the world, it must orient itself toward the world to innovatively develop its self-confidence, and promptly, accurately, and effectively disseminate China’s plans and wisdom for participating in global governance.
思想政治教育的自信,既建立在思想政治教育学科设立40年来取得的历史性成就与历史性变革的学科实力基础之上,又建立在对思想政治教育价值充分认同的有力支撑之上。当今世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开,和平赤字、发展赤字、安全赤字、治理赤字不断加重,新时代思想政治教育要积极主动参与全球治理,拥有更多回答世界之变的话语,就必须面向世界创新发展思想政治教育的自信力,及时准确有效地传播中国参与全球治理方案和智慧。
First, ideological and political education innovatively develops its self-confidence oriented toward the world by adhering to the guiding position of Marxism. Adhering to the guidance of Marxism is the greatest source of confidence for innovatively developing the self-confidence of ideological and political education oriented toward the world; Marxism is the foundation and soul of innovatively developing the self-confidence of ideological and political education. The reason ideological and political education can innovatively develop its self-confidence oriented toward the world ultimately lies in the fact that ideological and political education takes Marxist scientific theory as its own theoretical foundation. Marxism is a scientific system of thought concerning the liberation of the proletariat of the whole world and the liberation of all humanity. It not only scientifically reveals the universal laws of the development of human society, but also scientifically reveals the inner laws, possibilities, and conditions for realization of human nature and people’s free and comprehensive development. Marxism is a practical theory, always standing at the forefront of the times, and serves as a guide to action that directs humanity in transforming the world and promoting the forward development of society. Xi Jinping pointed out: “In the comparison of the fates of Marxist political parties in the world and the practical tests faced by our Party in long-term governance, deepen the understanding of the laws of the Party’s strategic thought on self-revolution, comprehensively and systematically propose scientific concepts and effective countermeasures to solve practical problems, and let contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st-century Marxism demonstrate a more powerful and more convincing truth force.” [9]9 The “Way” (道) is a foundational concept in Chinese philosophy, particularly in Daoism and Confucianism, referring to the fundamental principle, path, or truth underlying reality and proper conduct. Here it is used metaphorically to denote the core values and truths that ideological and political education seeks to convey. Marxism is a scientific worldview and methodology, a powerful method and weapon for people to scientifically understand the world, grasp laws, pursue truth, and transform the world. As ideological and political education based on Marxist theory, it must not only continue to innovatively develop its self-confidence oriented toward China’s great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation on the new journey of the New Era, but also must embrace the world with a broad vision, adhere to the guidance of Marxism, and innovatively develop its self-confidence oriented toward the world.
第一,思想政治教育在坚持马克思主义指导地位中创新发展面向世界的自信力。坚持马克思主义指导是创新发展思想政治教育面向世界自信的最大底气,马克思主义是创新发展思想政治教育自信之本和魂。思想政治教育之所以能面向世界创新发展自信力,归结到底是因为思想政治教育把马克思主义科学理论作为自身的理论基础。马克思主义是关于全世界无产阶级解放、全人类解放的科学思想体系。不仅科学揭示人类社会发展的普遍规律,而且科学揭示了人的本质和人自由而全面发展的内在规律、可能性和实现条件。马克思主义是实践的理论,始终站在时代前沿,是指引着人类改造世界促进社会向前发展的行动指南。习近平指出:“在世界马克思主义政党命运比较和我们党长期执政面临的现实考验中深化对党的自我革命战略思想的规律性认识,全面系统地提出解决现实问题的科学理念、有效对策,让当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义展现出更为强大、更有说服力的真理力量。”[9]马克思主义是科学的世界观和方法论,是人们科学认识世界、把握规律、追求真理、改造世界的强大方法武器。作为以马克思主义理论为基础的思想政治教育,不仅要继续面向我国新时代新征程的强国建设、民族复兴伟业创新发展自信力,更要坚持胸怀天下,坚持马克思主义指导,面向世界创新发展自信力。
Second, ideological and political education innovatively develops its self-confidence oriented toward the world in international ideological and cultural exchanges. For ideological and political education to enhance its self-confidence oriented toward the world, it must more actively and broadly participate in international ideological and cultural exchanges. Only by continuously enhancing its communication capacity and explanatory power in the integration and interaction of international ideological and cultural exchanges, and forming an international discourse commensurate with China’s comprehensive national strength and international status, can ideological and political education win self-confidence. Today, international ideological and cultural exchanges and integration are becoming increasingly close, and countries are paying more and more attention to and concerned about the changes of the world and the changes of the times. There is an urgent need for ideological and political education to consciously use its own disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system to scientifically interpret topics and issues of common concern to countries around the world, and to continuously enhance the self-confidence of ideological and political education in the process of strengthening the explanatory power of its discourse. China’s ideological and political education is a fine tradition of the Communist Party of China, a “lifeline” for all work and an important means of governing the Party and the country in the New Era, and has always shouldered the mission and task of holding high the banner, gathering people’s hearts, educating new people, revitalizing culture, and presenting the image of China. Over the 40 years since the establishment of the discipline of ideological and political education, the discipline has continuously grown and strengthened. It possesses the theoretical foundation of scientific Marxist guidance, has its own rich theoretical and practical experience, and its independent knowledge system is constantly being improved. This has laid a solid foundation and provided fundamental guarantees for the innovative development of the self-confidence of ideological and political education oriented toward the world. With the comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up, ideological and political education has fully integrated into and participated in international ideological and cultural exchanges. In these exchanges, it has continuously innovatively developed an academic system and discourse system for ideological and political education that integrates with the international discourse system. The discourse of ideological and political education oriented toward the world has transformed from a situation where it could not go global or spread, to one where it is confidently and actively spoken out and widely disseminated. The international discourse influence of ideological and political education is continuously rising, and its persuasiveness is constantly strengthening. The passive situation in the past where the discourse of ideological and political education could not spread has been fundamentally reversed, and the self-confidence of ideological and political education oriented toward the world has been effectively enhanced.
第二,思想政治教育在国际思想文化交流中创新发展面向世界的自信力。思想政治教育要提升面向世界的自信力,就必须更加主动广泛参与国际思想文化交流。思想政治教育只有在与国际思想文化交流交融中不断提升传播力和阐释力,形成同我国综合国力和国际地位相匹配的国际话语,才能赢得自信。当今世界思想文化交流交融日益密切,各国越来越关注关心世界之变、时代之变,迫切需要思想政治教育自觉运用自身的学科体系、学术体系、话语体系,科学阐释世界各国共同关注的话题和议题,在增强话语的阐释力中不断提升思想政治教育自信力。我国思想政治教育是中国共产党的优良传统,是一切工作的“生命线”和新时代治党治国的重要方式,始终肩负起举旗帜、聚人心、育新人、兴文化、展形象的使命任务。思想政治教育学科设立40年来,思想政治教育学科不断发展壮大,拥有马克思主义科学指导的理论基础,有着自身丰富的理论和实践经验,思想政治教育学科自主知识体系不断完善,为思想政治教育面向世界创新发展自信力打下了坚实的基础和根本保障。随着全面深化改革开放,思想政治教育全面融入和参与国际思想文化交流,在国际思想文化交流中不断创新发展与国际话语体系接轨的思想政治教育学术体系、话语体系。思想政治教育面向世界的话语从原来走不出、传不开的境况,转变为自信地主动说出去、积极传播开来,思想政治教育的国际话语影响力不断提升,说服力不断增强,过去思想政治教育的话语传不开的被动局面得到了整体性扭转,思想政治教育面向世界的自信力得到了有效的提升。
Third, ideological and political education, in disseminating China’s propositions on participating in global governance, innovatively develops its self-confidence in facing the world. The changes in the world, in the times, and in history are unfolding at an unprecedented pace. Our country, taking it as its responsibility to embrace the world with an open mind, actively responds to the common concerns of people of all countries and makes contributions to solving the common problems facing humanity. In comprehensively participating in the reform of the global governance system, it practices the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, creatively puts forward the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, promotes the common values of all humanity—peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom—and depicts a beautiful vision for the international order, pointing the way for enhancing the common interests of humanity and creating a new form of human civilization. In comprehensively participating in global security governance, it practices the new security concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security, advocates bridging differences through dialogue and resolving disputes through cooperation, promotes multilateral cooperation mechanisms, opposes hegemonism and terrorism, jointly maintains a peaceful and secure global environment, and provides propositions for maintaining world peace, development, and stability in global security governance. In comprehensively participating in global development governance, it advocates the new development concept of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing, advocates the concept of a community of life between humanity and nature, and provides wisdom for jointly seeking global sustainable development in improving global development governance. In comprehensively participating in global social governance, it advocates a new type of major-country relations featuring mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, and provides solutions for jointly promoting exchanges and progress in civilization in advancing global human rights and social governance. While actively explaining and disseminating China’s propositions, wisdom, and solutions to the world, ideological and political education also continuously enhances its self-confidence in facing the world through the active process of participating in and disseminating China’s propositions and wisdom on global governance.
第三,思想政治教育在传播中国参与全球治理主张中创新发展面向世界的自信力。当今世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式加速展开,我国正以坚持胸怀天下为己任,积极回应各国人民普遍关切,为解决人类面临的共同难题作出贡献。在全面参与全球治理体系改革中,践行共商共建共享的全球治理观,创造性提出构建人类命运共同体理念,弘扬和平、发展、公平、正义、民主、自由的全人类共同价值,描绘国际秩序的美好图景,为增进人类共同利益、开创人类文明的崭新形态指明了方向;在全面参与全球安全治理中,践行共同、综合、合作、可持续的新安全观,倡导以对话弥合分歧、以合作化解争端,推动多边合作机制,反对霸权主义和恐怖主义,共同维护和平安全的全球环境,为全球安全治理提供了维护世界和平发展稳定的主张;在全面参与全球发展治理中,倡导创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享的新发展理念,倡导人与自然生命共同体理念,为完善全球发展治理提供共谋全球可持续发展的智慧;在全面参与全球社会治理中,倡导相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢的新型大国关系,为推进全球人权和社会治理提供共促文明交流进步的方案。思想政治教育积极面向世界阐释和传播中国主张、中国智慧、中国方案的同时,也在积极主动参与传播和阐释中国全球治理主张和智慧的过程中不断提升面向世界的自信力。
The changes unseen in a century in the world today are accelerating. The connections and interdependence among countries are closer than at any time in history, and the exchange and integration of ideas and cultures among countries are more frequent and intimate than at any time in history. Exchanges, mutual learning, conflicts, and collisions between different cultures and civilizations coexist globally. How can China’s ideological and political education face the world with greater confidence, openness, and inclusiveness, and participate in the exchange and mutual learning of ideas and cultures among countries? How can ideological and political education more actively participate in answering the questions of the world and the times? How can it tell China’s story well, spread China’s voice, and present a credible, lovable, and respectable image of China while maintaining world peace and development and participating in global governance? These are the epochal issues facing the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education in the New Era. Facing the new situations, new changes, and new trends in the world today, China’s ideological and political education cannot be absent in participating in global ideological and cultural exchanges and interactions, nor can it be “mute” or “voiceless.” It must have new atmospheres and new achievements, new responsibilities and new contributions. This inevitably requires that ideological and political education develop innovatively in a world-oriented direction. On the one hand, deepen the integrity and innovation of ideological and political education, that is, adhere to the basic stance of Marxism. The prerequisite and foundation for the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education is that the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method cannot change or waver. This is the foundation of the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education, and also the greatest confidence and greatest advantage for its world-oriented development. The world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education means clearly and firmly adhering to Marxism, especially using the worldview and methodology of contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st-century Marxism to analyze and answer the questions of the world and the times, continuously enhancing the discursive power and the logic, theory, emotion, and truth of the narrative of ideological and political education facing the world, and improving the discursive appeal and influence of ideological and political education facing the world. On the other hand, the world-oriented innovative development of ideological and political education requires that ideological and political education, in the exchange and mutual learning of global ideas and cultures, adhere to the stance and method of Chinese culture and Chinese modern civilization, innovatively develop a new cultural form of ideological and political education facing the world, use this new cultural form to construct new discourses and new narrative methods for ideological and political education facing the world, continuously innovate and develop the power of harmony and coexistence, narrative dissemination, discursive interpretation, and self-confidence of ideological and political education facing the world, comprehensively enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political education in international communication, and promote ideological and political education to move toward the world with greater confidence in deepening exchanges and mutual learning with the civilizations of other countries.
当今世界百年未有之大变局正在加速演进,各国之间联系和依存关系比历史上任何时候都更加紧密相连,各国间的思想文化交流交融比历史上任何时候都更加频繁密切,全球不同文化、不同文明之间的交流互鉴与冲突碰撞并存。我国思想政治教育如何更加自信、更加开放包容地面向世界,参与各国思想文化交流互鉴?思想政治教育如何更加主动参与回答世界之问和时代之问?如何在维护世界和平发展、参与全球治理中讲好中国故事、传播中国声音,展现可信、可爱、可敬的中国形象?这些都是新时代思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的时代性课题。面对当今世界新形势新变化新趋势,我国思想政治教育在参与全球思想文化交往交流中不能缺位,更不能“失语”“失声”,必须要有新气象新作为,新担当新贡献,这就必然要求思想政治教育面向世界创新发展。一方面,深化思想政治教育守正创新,即坚守马克思主义基本立场。面向世界创新发展思想政治教育,前提和基础是马克思主义立场观点不能变,也不能动摇,这是思想政治教育面向世界创新发展的根本,也是面向世界发展的最大底气和最大的优势。面向世界创新发展思想政治教育,就是旗帜鲜明坚持用马克思主义,尤其是要坚持用当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义的世界观和方法论分析和回答世界之问和时代之问,不断增强思想政治教育面向世界的话语力和叙事的道理学理情理真理,提升思想政治教育面向世界的话语吸引力和感染力。另一方面,面向世界创新发展思想政治教育,需要思想政治教育在全球思想文化交流互鉴中坚守中华文化和中华现代文明的立场方法,创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的文化新形态,以思想政治教育面向世界的文化新形态,构建起思想政治教育面向世界的新话语和叙事新方式,不断创新发展思想政治教育面向世界的和合共生力、叙事传播力、话语阐释力和自信力,全面提升思想政治教育面向国际传播的效能,在深化与各国文明交流互鉴中推动思想政治教育更加自信地走向世界。
