From a Natural Community to a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind:Reflections on Human Lifestyle,Common Destiny,and the Global Order
From the natural community to the rise of human society driven by productivi-ty,human history has increasingly become the world history of universal communication.With the expansion of Europe and the deepening of capitalist globalization,modernity,modern thinking,and sovereignty concepts have objectively expanded around the world.Af-ter the two world wars,colonialism collapsed,and modern international society gradually formed.Since the mid to late 20th century,when humans first possessed the ability to de-stroy themselves,they have entered an era of survival risks that is fundamentally different from previous eras,and a common destiny for humanity has begun to emerge.It is precisely on these historical foundations that China has creatively proposed the concept of a communi-ty with a shared future for mankind,with a focus on addressing increasingly severe global challenges.This concept is rooted not only in the logic of Marxist political philosophy but also in the profound foundation of traditional Chinese culture.It is based on the emerging common destiny of humanity,focuses on the overall interests and common values of humani-ty,and provides a resolving plan and direction for the sustainable development of human civilization in response to the increasingly urgent survival risks faced by human society.A community with a shared future for mankind is a value community characterized by a com-mon destiny for humanity.The objective survival risks faced by humanity constitute the ma-terial foundation of a community with a shared future for mankind,and the human common understanding and the common value consensus constitute the inherent provisions of a com-munity with a shared future for mankind.The global order is undergoing a period of intense transformation,and a community with a shared future for mankind represents the direction of the future.Through active exercise of the role and function of global governance,a global order of a community with a shared future for mankind is taking shape.
