The new era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics continues to move forward, ushering in an irreversible historical process for rejuvenating the Chinese nation. The Chinese people have moved steadily to stand up, grow prosperous and become strong. Have Chinese theory, academics, and philosophy and social sciences also achieved a historical transformation and stood up, prospered, and become strong? In other words, what should they do to contribute to the national rejuvenation? There is no denying that with regard to this question posed by the age, practice, and the people, the theoretical and academic communities in China may not be that confident. And fundamentally speaking, the fact that the academic confidence is not firm, rich, and solid stems from a poor understanding or a lack of deep, systematic, and solid research and interpretation of the incomparably rich, fresh, lively, concrete and profound contemporary Chinese practice. It is an indisputable and embarrassing fact that the Chinese people’s practice of social change has moved forward significantly into a new era of history-making, while the actual state and level of Chinese theoretical scholarship is still very much out of step with and mismatched to the development of the new era and Chinese practice. To a large extent, this has not only restricted the degree to which theory, scholarship, and philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics exercise leadership over practice, but has also restricted their international influence. “All social life is essentially practical. All mysteries which lead theory to mysticism find their rational solution in human practice and in the comprehension of this practice.” This famous statement of Marx provides an important methodological principle from which we can observe the development of theory and scholarship in China. It has been a popular view for many years that scholarship should be far away from real life, and that the farther away it is from reality, the higher its academic value; that “scholarship for the sake of scholarship” is the only way forward for academics and represents their correct value; and that “the less ideology there is in academia, the better it will be.” The question is, how can a scholarship void of ideology be called scholarship?

Abstract Over the past 40-plus years of reform and opening up, China has taken a unique path of development that complies with both its national conditions and the laws of development. This paper analyzes the uniqueness and the universality of Chinese experience and the theoretical logic that has permeated the process of China’s opening up and kept pace with the times. Within this framework we analyze the key issues and suitable options for China’s future opening up.

Abstract The governance system is the institutional carrier and mechanism guaranteeing the operation of the state. The Western governance dilemma and China’s governance practice show that state dominance is the intrinsic logic behind the modernization of the governance system. As a worldwide issue, the core question in the logic of state modernization of the governance system is to develop governance rules, procedures and orders that effectively respond to and resolve the problems of the state-society relationship. In other words, state logic is rooted in the historical process of the dynamic evolution of the building of the state-society relationship community, and looks toward practice in solving the issue of balanced national development. In advocating a modern governance system led by state logic, China does not simply wish to continue the master page of its history and culture, but to hold fast to being guided by the issues and focusing on the transformation of the principal contradictions of Chinese society to bring about good governance that is oriented toward the people, in order to systematically respond to the major adjustments in national governance variables brought about by IT development and globalization. In the current context in which governance solutions dominated by the logic of capital have difficulty coping with global problems of development, adhering to the logic of the state in modernizing the governance system not only helps us break away from “polycentric governance” and correctly ensures that the state plays an authoritative and leading role in the governance system while also providing an institutional framework and mechanism that achieves social justice, improves market efficiency and fosters social autonomy, thus forging a new type of civilization for national and global governance on a global scale.

It is a great honour to have served as the lead organizer for the Discussion Meeting and Guest Editor for this issue to appear in the world’s oldest continuously published journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A. The meeting contributed to the activities of the UK Computing Research Grand Challenge on Ubiquitous Computing: Experience, Design and Science (UbicompGC ; http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/Projects/UbiNet/GC).

Abstract The four-decades long exchanges with Chinese scholars has provided me with a fresh perspective. Reading history makes me feel that the talents of the historical Chinese who created the country’s glorious ancient civilization are still being carried on today, and have become the foundation enabling China to build an ideal type of society. Indeed, China regards “becoming developed” as its ultimate goal and “reform and growth” as its guideline. The progress of artificial intelligence would not remove its own weakness of democracy. On the contrary, as the technology grows mature, it might steer development of socialism in a favourable direction.

Abstract The concept of “liberation” has profoundly influenced the development of modern Chinese literature, giving rise to a “liberation” theme with profound implications. Modern Chinese literature can be analyzed from the joint perspectives of the liberators, the routes to liberation and the scope of liberation. Variations among the liberators have led to the two different concepts of self-liberation and being liberated; the differences in the routes to liberation have led to the intermixture of liberation based on persuasion and struggle-based liberation; and the difference in the scope of liberation derives from the alternation of the partial achievement of thoroughgoing liberation and the full realization of incremental liberation. The Chinese concept of liberation was strongly shaped by the Communist Party of China (CPC); compared to the work of those writers influenced by the CPC’s concept of “liberation,” the writings of ordinary non-Communist writers present “liberation” differently. The latter tend to adopt an either/or attitude toward liberation, whereas the former ensure that liberation theme reflects the interaction and blending of different types of “liberation” concepts, thus establishing a new form of “liberation” writing. To mark the centenary of the CPC, we have reviewed and explored the “liberation” theme of modern Chinese literature in the hope that we will gain a full understanding of the theoretical discourse and historical practice of “liberation,” taking a dialectical approach to freedom and responsibility, respecting tradition while boldly pursuing innovation, and striving to explore the realistic significance and ideological value of literary works.

Abstract The complexity of online narratives and their important influence on events, attitudes, and emotions in society make visible certain limitations in the explication of such narratives found in traditional narrative theory. Their generative mechanism provides the logical starting point for understanding online communication. Event correlatives, text assemblage and specific texts, as the organic structure of online narratives, shape the intertextual existence and dynamic accumulation of the online text. A universal multidirectional co-construction forms around event correlatives and between specific texts and the pre-text, post-text and synchronous text within the text assemblage, while the textual object, the communicating subject and the online group communication context together build up the interpretive system of online narrative meanings. The generative mechanism and vitality of online narratives not only provide guarantees for the active nature of online communication, but also become a huge variable in social development, profoundly influencing social communication and even our way of thinking.

Abstract Characterized as they are by dynamic competition, cross-border operation, the network effect and oligopoly competition, digital platforms present a serious and complex monopoly problem, one that undermines competition, damages consumers’ interests, suppresses the vitality of innovation and hinders high-quality development. They should therefore be brought under stricter anti-monopoly regulation. The traditional regulatory cycle of “stricter regulation brings everything to a standstill; looser regulation brings chaos in its wake” is a chronic problem in China’s market regulation, so the anti-monopoly regulation of digital platforms needs to avoid this regulatory paradox. To address digital platforms’ two-sided markets, dynamic competition and disruptive innovation, we need to create appropriate new theories of anti-monopoly regulation by establishing the principle of positive, inclusive and prudent regulation based on the concept of modesty. In the current context, efforts to strengthen regulation do not lay undue emphasis on tighter regulation and heavier penalties, but rather focus on regulatory transformation and innovation, aiming thereby to effectively improve regulation. Good law is the premise of good governance. It is necessary to speed up the revision of the Anti-Monopoly Law to include provisions for improving digital competition rules in order to provide high-quality regulatory systems. Actively promoting efficient, inclusive and prudent regulation, fair and impartial regulation, collaborative and integrated regulation, incentive-based regulation, credit regulation and intelligent regulation on the basis of good law, along with technology-enabled regulation, is a good governance approach to realizing anti-monopoly platform regulations.

Abstract The question of the universality of philosophy is highlighted when seen from a crosscultural perspective, for it reveals the tension between particularity and universality, as well as the connotations of the universality of philosophy. In terms of philosophical activities concerned with the content of Chinese life experience, the universality of philosophy, the particularity of Chinese thought, and the uniqueness of Chinese expression together constitute a persistent theoretical tension. We distinguish the universality of philosophy from universal philosophy; the former stems from the universal presupposition of rational capacity and points to the richness and pluralism of the empirical world while maintaining a dynamic balance between universality and pluralism in normative attitudes of discourse practice and conceptual activity. From the perspective of cultural subjectivity, it is necessary to avoid misleading views that equate the universality of philosophy with Western philosophy; moreover, normativity cannot be understood as specific censorship rules. The universality of philosophy requires a sense of boundaries and a normative attitude that will ensure that people from different contexts can enter into dialogue on the basis of rational ability and construct a space for dialogue and understanding. The concern for diverse objects based on the richness of experience gives philosophical concepts and arguments pluralist differences that encompass cultural differences and autonomy at the level of expression. All in all, it is only on the basis of the universality of philosophy that we can understand the normative requirements of philosophical activities and the pluralism of cross-cultural philosophical reflection.

We distinguish the universality of philosophy from universal philosophy; the former stems from the universal presupposition of rational capacity and points to the richness and pluralism of the empirical world while maintaining a dynamic balance between universality and pluralism in normative attitudes of discourse practice and conceptual activity. From the perspective of cultural subjectivity, it is necessary to avoid misleading views that equate the universality of philosophy with Western philosophy; moreover, normativity cannot be understood as specific censorship rules. The universality of philosophy requires a sense of boundaries and a normative attitude that will ensure that people from different contexts can enter into dialogue on the basis of rational ability and construct a space for dialogue and understanding. The concern for diverse objects based on the richness of experience gives philosophical concepts and arguments pluralist differences that encompass cultural differences and autonomy at the level of expression. All in all, it is only on the basis of the universality of philosophy that we can understand the normative requirements of philosophical activities and the pluralism of cross-cultural philosophical reflection.","PeriodicalId":51743,"journal":{"name":"中国社会科学","volume":"43 1","pages":"88 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45454828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Since the reform and opening up, tremendous changes have taken place in China. The initial objective of building a xiaokang or moderately prosperous society developed into a national development plan, which adopted a phased approach: first, “building a xiaokang society in an all-round way,” followed by “completing the building of a xiaokang society in all respects.” The efforts have paid off: The Chinese nation has stood up, become prosperous and grown in strength, creating two miracles—rapid economic growth and long-term social stability. After achieving the first centennial goal of building a xiaokang society in all respects, China has embarked on a new journey toward the second goal of building a great modern socialist country. A new two-step development strategy has been drawn up, laying a solid theoretical and practical foundation for the realization of the second centennial goal.
