Inheritance and Innovation of Basic Methodology of Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics
At present,one of the directions and hot topics of discussion in China's economic academic community is how to create and improve"socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics"and to"construct the discourse power of economics",which forms the unique academic background for writing this paper.In response to certain phenom-ena observed in research,it is deemed necessary to conduct a study on the relationship between the general and specific aspects of economics,and how to shape the distinctive Chinese characteristics of political economy.Furthermore,this pa-per aims to address potential misconceptions that may arise in this context.The main content and viewpoints of the paper are as follows:(1)Research objects unify and standardize the general characteristics of all political economies,and socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics must adhere to these general principles.(2)Specificity or particularity emerges from this generality.The research methodology,content,paradigm,and objectives differentiate and endow various economic schools with their unique characteristics.(3)Socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics has three dimensions of uniqueness:historical accumulation and the ongoing fundamental national conditions of China confer its"Chinese characteristics";modem China as a socialist country gives it"characteristics of socialist China";and China's current stage of development at a"moderately advanced level"and its specific circumstances within the"middle-income phase"contribute to"stage-specific socialist Chinese characteristics".(4)The methods of economics are divided into three levels:the basic methodology or philosophical foundation of economics,the methods for constructing economic thinking principles and theoretical frameworks,and the technical tools or methods of economics.(5)The process of creating and refining socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics involves handling several important relationships:the balance between"generality"and"particularity",the interplay between accumulation,inheritance,and innovation,the relationship between universal academic language and the establishment of academic discursive power,and the connection between theoretical support and practical application in serving reality.Innovations of the paper are as follows:(1)Integrating Marx and Engels'later thoughts,it develops historical materialism into a"complete historical materialism"that combines essentialism and historicism.(2)It proposes a three-dimensional"characteristic"framework for the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics:Chinese characteristics,characteristics of socialist China,and stage-specific socialist Chinese characteristics.(3)It suggests a categorization of economic methods into"three levels",with ongoing debates and struggles among different economic schools at the first level,which pertains to the philosophical foundation.The third level is generally applicable,while certain aspects of the methods at the second level can be shared.(4)It encourages the exploration of valuable elements from traditional Chinese culture and incorporates them as the fundamental methodology,constituting one of the philosophical foundations of economics with Chinese characteristics.(5)It uses the term"Chinese economic school"rather than"Chinese economics".
