Comprehensive Order Perspective:The Institutional-Cultural Logic of Chinese Modernization
Modernization is an inevitable path for China's entrance into world history,representing a structural transformation with temporal awareness in human historical progress that involves a profound reconstruction of order and meaning.Based on the unicity of modernity and the plurality of modernization,the social transformation and struc-tural changes of nation-states always entail a specific institutional-cultural logic.The themes of human social activity are survival and the pursuit of happiness,with the aims of modernization being a high-quality public order and a dignified,fulfilling life.On the survival level,this relates to social relations with natural order and objective dimensions,while on the happiness level,it concerns social relations with the mental order and subjective dimensions.The shared objectifica-tion relationship of both levels manifests as institutional construction and internal ideological transformation in terms of order.Social practices based on productivity development serve as the medium for reconstructing the order of modernity,while institution-culture is the crux for establishing a humane natural order and a natural mental order.Chinese modern-ization,as an innovative paradigm that rewrites Western modernity,nurtures a general order perspective in institutional civilization that fosters the all-round development of individuals.Political philosophical analysis based on a comprehen-sive reform perspective and a comprehensive order perspective helps clarify,from a holistic practical viewpoint,the structural transcendence of Chinese modernization over Western modernity,redirecting various growth-oriented develop-ment narratives toward comprehensive human modernization.It seeks to construct high-quality public order and digni-fied,fulfilling life through historical awareness of civilizational progression.
