The Civilizational Crisis of Capitalist Modernization and Its Critique
The civilization crisis of capitalist modernization is becoming more and more serious.Instrumental rationality is the core of capitalist modernization,and exploitative accumulation is its most essential feature.Instrumental rationality gradually leads capitalist modernization towards the opposite of progress,and exploitative accumulation causes the civilization crisis of capitalist modernization in an all-round way.Capitalist modernization is accompanied by the global expansion of capitalist civilization,and the foreign colonial rule is an important means of its global expansion,and behind the global expansion is the purpose of promoting the hegemony of great powers.Capitalist civilization not only intensifies the polarizing social crisis,but also implies a huge spiritual crisis,accelerating the war crisis that destroys peace,and latent ecological crisis that concerns the future of mankind.At its core,the above-mentioned crises stem from capitalist private ownership.Chinese modernization is different from capitalist modernization.It pursues common prosperity for all the people,promotes balanced development of both material and spiritual aspects,takes the road of modernization of peaceful development,promotes harmonious coexistence between man and nature,builds a community with a shared future for mankind,and vigorously builds the modern Chinese civilization.Therefore,Chinese modernization has created a new form of human civilization that has transcended capitalist civilization and reshaped Chinese civilization.
