The objective basis and fundamental methods of Deng Xiaoping's theory of"emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts"
Deng Xiaoping's theory of"emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts",as one of the significant out-comes of the sinicization of Marxist philosophy,represents a creative reflection and response by the Communist Party of China ( CPC),led by Deng Xiaoping,to key questions such as"how to approach Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought,how to understand socialism,and how to regard the Party's ideological line".This theory is drawn from a se-ries of Deng's works,speeches,conversations,and related documents issued by the Central Committee of the CPC.The core content of this theory includes three main aspects:the dialectical unity and mutual preconditions of"emancipating the mind"and"seeking truth from facts",the rejection of outdated"rigid and dogmatic thinking",and the adherence to"proceeding from reality in all matters,using practice as the criterion,and developing Marxism".These ideas reflect Deng Xiaoping's innovative development of Marxist theory.Deng's theory serves both as a worldview for CPC members on how to address major issues regarding Marxism-Leninism,Mao Zedong Thought,socialism,and the Party's ideolog-ical line,and as a methodology for analyzing and resolving problems from both the"left"and the"right",particularly in response to the subjectivism of the"Gang of Four"and the dogmatism of the"Two Whatevers".This study primarily ex-plores,from a methodological perspective,the objective basis for Deng's proposal of the theory,including his under-standing of socialism,Mao Zedong Thought,and the Party's ideological line,as well as the two basic methods in Deng's theory:the method of"integrating Marxism with China 's realities"and the method of the"criterion of practice".The research argues that learning and applying the methodology of Deng's theory is of great significance for understanding its true essence,upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics,and advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
