Chapter 5 The Current Situation of Modern Chinese Philosophy

As far as modern Chinese philosophy is concerned, it is precisely the product of hovering between "love and wisdom" and "change and change (the principle of the I Ching)", and is in a jerky new state. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to philosophical principles, modern Chinese philosophy is between dualism and triadism, and the reality is that the theoretical framework is in a period of sublimation.

For modern Chinese philosophy, should we return to the dualistic theory of yin and yang mutual repulsion, re-understand the dialectical principle of dualism, re-understand the reasons for the reciprocity and repulsion of yin and yang, and sublimate dualism to a new realm?

Whether to continue to hold Western theories in the left hand and Eastern ideas in the right hand, and confuse clarity and complexity to understand, this is a question that modern Chinese must understand, and China must be clear about what traditional Chinese science is and whether traditional Chinese science is in line with the development of the times.

Modern Chinese philosophy is a philosophical system established by the Chinese by smashing their own traditional theories and introducing, absorbing and using the philosophical views of Westerners in combination with their own actual conditions.

Modern Chinese philosophy is a bit complicated, there are not only some philosophical views in the Western philosophical system, but also some concepts in traditional Chinese science, which are basically divided into two forms of juxtaposition, neither all Western philosophy nor all traditional Chinese science, one is part of the philosophical ideas in Western philosophy dominated by the superstructure, and the other is part of the ideas and concepts of traditional Chinese science held by the people of the lower classes, the two are mixed and coexist, and they exist in the modern Chinese philosophical system in confusion.

As I said above, China's modern philosophical system is the product of a mixture of some philosophical viewpoints from the West and the East, neither Western philosophy nor Eastern science, and most of the philosophical viewpoints are the ideological concepts produced in the impetuous superstructure and the structural adjustment of the lower level, such as the use of the responsibility system for land contract management, and the model of open development of commercial development for all people are produced under the condition that social development is formed from the bottom up.

This situation was most pronounced in the eighties and nineties of the last century, that is, the political views that arose in the context of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

However, the concept of people's livelihood in the lower class has been in a state of chaos, as far as the philosophical thoughts of the modern Chinese people are concerned, there is no doubt that the traditional Chinese science is full of the people's ideology, and the people do not all accept the philosophical views led by the government, and still retain and practice the traditional Chinese science and philosophy in the hearts of the people, and do not completely adopt some of the concepts in Western philosophy.

The nineties of the last century was the most violent period for the return of traditional Chinese science thought, and the political atmosphere in the early and middle nineties had a strong Taoist trend of thought of ruling by inaction, and the officialdom was filled with all the ideological spirit of ancient science, and the lower class society was also immersed in the trend of thought of being drunk and obsessed.

By the late nineties of the last century, the national will began to change, the national will began to dominate the political intention, the political highlight of the humanized development intention, China began to enter a period of comprehensive development, the state apparatus was fully launched, and entered a period of rapid development.

However, the phenomenon of philosophical polarization has not improved, but has become more prominent.

As a result, the phenomenon that China's superstructure and the lower class cannot develop in harmony with ideology and consciousness cannot advance synchronously has led to many strange phenomena in social development and daily life.

For example, this phenomenon can be seen from the modern Chinese wedding, modern Chinese weddings, whether in big cities or rural areas generally exist in the combination of East and West strange weddings, which also fully shows that under the erosion of Western thought, Chinese traditional thought is changing, distorted, but there is no unified and reasonable model, so there are different regional strange models.

For example, due to the influence of Western culture and the problem of national conditions (family planning) in modern China, family pluralism is weakening, the family structure is developing towards a single family, family members only have the relationship between husband and wife and children, the family structure of two and three generations living together is disappearing, the elderly and children live independently, and the political ecology does not advocate a pluralistic family structure of multiple generations.

The elderly in ancient China, due to the influence of feudal etiquette and religious thoughts, the family structure is diversified, almost all families are two or three generations in the same house, family members socialized management, each has its own responsibilities, and the ancient Chinese regime under the guidance of Confucianism and philosophy to the people's filial piety adopts a compulsory social restraint mechanism, and the law severely punishes those who do not abide by filial piety, and the punishment is very severe.

Filial piety in ancient China was not attributed to the category of morality, but to the scope of responsibility, and this should be said to be very correct, because morality is not bound by law, and there is no need to pay a price if morality is not stressed; and responsibility is under the legal constraint mechanism, and irresponsibility must pay a price and be severely punished by law.

Modern China puts supporting the elderly into the category of morality, and does not include it in the scope of responsibility, for children to support the elderly is not a matter of responsibility, there is no responsibility without responsibility, there is no obligation, naturally there is no price to pay, irresponsibility of course there will be no final sanction of the law.

Another example is the problem of young men dominating older women, this strange phenomenon can only occur in modern society, and in ancient China or Western countries, this situation is attributed to the category of responsibility and is subject to the constraints of the law.

Strictly speaking, society can freely stretch its own will, but it is not an unlimited stretch of self-consciousness, human society is a society in which all people coexist, not your private space, the mind and body of elderly women and girls under the age of 14 are protected by adult men, there is responsibility for protection, there is responsibility to pay for responsibility, there is obligation and price for duty, there is a legal restraint mechanism for obligation and price, and the law is the last means to ensure that responsibility and obligation are implemented.

There are all kinds of discordant voices in the real society, all of which are related to the lack of clarity of modern Chinese philosophical concepts.

What is Philosophy?

Philosophy is the product of human beings summing up the past experience with the world of human love, and through the whole process of human attention to the development of things, summing up the best experience, formulating the best plan, opening up a new concept of development, and using the best method to solve problems and transform the world.

Because modern Chinese philosophy is a brand new philosophical system established by smashing its own traditional science Chinese, and after the founding of New China, China's ideological pioneers fully adopted the materialist world view, therefore, China's political ecology is a philosophical system established on the basis of comprehensively accepting and exploring materialist thought, so Chinese have a comprehensive and profound understanding of materialism, but they generally know little about idealism in philosophy.

Due to the political intention to fully accept the materialist point of view, there is an atmosphere of suppression of idealism, so that the Chinese generally have insufficient understanding of idealism, do not know what idealism is, in fact, what is idealism, simply say "change the objective reality with subjective consciousness" is idealism, such as the beautiful expectation of love and marriage, the psychological intention of being a filial son and grandson, psychological treatment of psychology, the spirit of moving mountains by fools, the will of the country, urban long-term planning, etc. And so on are the categories of idealism, don't mention idealism and associate it with cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, demons, demons and monsters.

We are exposed to idealism all the time in life, for example, when I eat today, I want to cook raw meat into mature meat, and use various seasonings to change the taste of meat, so that the meat is more delicious and delicious, this practice of changing objective reality with subjective consciousness is idealism, it's as simple as that, don't mention idealism and rise to the height of the class position, in fact, both materialism and idealism are closely related to daily life, and are not so mysterious and serious.

What is philosophy? Philosophy is what idealism believes is to use the best subjective will to change the most unsatisfactory objective reality.

Philosophy is the study of solving practical problems such as contradictions and conflicts in social development by means of wisdom through the subjective intention of human beings, with a focused and enthusiastic attitude, and by focusing on the world with human love, and transforming the world with intelligent means, in order to achieve the most perfect ending.

If it rises to the height of politics, it is to use ******** to change the process of national development, strengthen the will of the country, pay attention to people's livelihood, transform society, develop the economy, and protect national security and homeland security.

If it falls to the perspective of people's livelihood, in a word, pay attention to life with love, care for others, love relatives, create wealth with wisdom, and improve life, in order to have a happy family, good health, and a happy and healthy family.

That's philosophy, it's as simple as that.

As far as the Western philosophical system is concerned, there are many different understandings in Western philosophy, and one understanding is the philosophical system of "love and wisdom" advocated by Socrates, which is relatively comprehensive.

A kind of understanding arose in Europe in the eighteenth century, that the simple "existence" of matter is the only criterion for demonstrating the development of things, that the existence of the development of things must be placed in the first place of the theory of practice, that changing the objective existence with subjective will is the true embodiment of the will of the state, and that the will of the individual leads the national will to change the world and create a world of harmony and sharing.

There is also a way of thinking that simply knows the "existence" of matter It is the basis of materialism, and stubbornly insists on the fact that natural things are formed and developed according to their own laws, and the material basis only develops and changes according to the laws of its own existence, this kind of thinking is based on the ideological understanding based on the materialist point of view, simply put, the objective existence of things is the root of the ultimate subjective intention, there is no objective evaluation of human beings without the prior existence of things, and the process of the development of things can only determine the criteria for selection through practice, that is to say, the process of the development of things is the standard for determining human intentions, this kind of thinking is generally accepted by materialists and applied to the governance of the country。

From the perspective of social practice and political behavior after the reform and opening up, the philosophical ideas held by Chinese now are not only materialist ideologies, but more traditional Chinese ideological systems.

There are two different means of thinking in political theory and practical experience: in the political direction, the materialist worldview is used, and in the practical application, the values of traditional Chinese science are used.

In many political practices, the values of traditional Chinese science are still used, and traditional Chinese science is a discipline that is detailed on the outside and wide on the inside, with clear political intentions, but the means of governance are loose, there are no clear rules, and political means often use the principle of governing the country by man, and push many of the responsibilities that should be shouldered by the government to the society, do not pay attention to the people's livelihood, lack of human love to focus on the survival of the people, and cannot be used to change the objective reality with subjective consciousness.

As far as traditional Chinese science is concerned, both science and the Book of Changes are studies that are independent of subjective consciousness with objective reality, and are mainly concerned with the established laws of the development of things, and the qualitative issues of the development of things are studied and discussed.

For example, in the medical field, in China, the big medical treatment, the big overall planning, the big plan, the big guarantee, the huge system is very intuitive, but also very simple and clear. But as long as you go inside, China's medical mechanism is too general, the industry structure is complex and huge, the industry standards are vague, the delineation of responsibilities and obligations is not clear, and there is no clear industry standard. There are no clear guidelines for practice. In fact, the industry standards are very broad, the Roman road is at your disposal, hospitals and drug dealers, doctors and drug dealers collude with each other, benefit each other, and inflate the price of some drugs to hundreds of times, thousands of times, which is larger than the profit margin of drug trafficking, how can such a system ensure universal medical care?

Political means come from fair distribution, and fairness and justice come from the national will with clear politics and firm intentions.

To have a firm intention, the system must be clear.

The ideological system of politics comes from philosophy, and philosophy comes from the summary of the known knowledge of the past by human beings, and the summary of the past and known ideas is limited to human beings, and it is human beings who use their wisdom to create intelligent and rational thinking methods and theoretical frameworks to formulate the most perfect legal system and political means.

Therefore, political clarity is an important means to achieve an ideal society, and clear and serious industry standards can ensure fairness and justice.

Political means are always the only way to distribute the system fairly, especially when it comes to people's livelihood issues, political means, legal system, and planning and management are always the only policy methods.

No matter what system you have, whenever it comes to people's livelihood affairs, political power will always be an important means of the distribution system, and politics shoulders the responsibility and obligation of fair distribution, so you can't push the responsibility to the market, to the society, and to the people.

The reason why the socialist system in Germany is the most perfect social system of our time lies in the fact that the Germans "agree that objective reality is independent of subjective consciousness, and that subjective will can change objective reality." "Rationally treat the weaknesses of human nature, objectively transform the self-inferiority of human nature, so that the self-will can be stretched but cannot go beyond the rules and systems.
