The Civilization Significance of the Xi Jinping Thought on Culture——Discussion on Its Transcendence of Cultural Evolutionism and Cultural Relativism
As the latest achievement of adapting Marxist Cultural Theory to the Chinese context and the needs of the times,the Xi Jinping Thought on Culture deeply explores the law of the development of human civilization and contributes Chinese wisdom and solutions to the creation of a new form of human civilization.The Xi Jinping Thought on culture has sublated the unidirectional logic of cultural evolution with the view of the diversity of world civilizations and the modern view of"de-standardized"civilizations;broke the theoretical restriction of cultural relativism with the concept of free and comprehensive development of human beings and scientific cultural values;and promoted the prosperity and coexistence of global civilization with the practicality of"understanding and applying knowledge,and integrating learning with doing".In this regard,the Xi Jinping Thought on Culture,with profound civilization implications,draws a blueprint for the prosperity and coexistence of global civilization from both theoretical and practical perspectives:the"second combination"provides methodological support for developing countries to achieve civilization transformation and renewal;the important statement of"three transcendence"provides Chinese concepts for reshaping the world cultural pattern of coexistence with diversity;and the governance concept of"extensive consultation,joint contribution,and shared benefits"contributes Chinese proposals to optimizing the global cultural governance system.
