The Generative Logic of the Modern Civilization of the Chinese Nation:A Perspective of Historical Philosophy Based on"the Second Combination"
The formation of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is deeply rooted in the his-torical practice and exploration of Chinese-style modernization,representing the outcome of integra-ting the fundamental principles of Marxism with the rich traditional Chinese culture(hereinafter the"second combination").The generative logic implicit in the modern civilization of the Chinese nation extends beyond intellectual-theoretical reasoning and encompasses its dialectic-historical evolution,that is,returning to the historical source of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation implicit in the ancient and modern disputes between China and the West,and then"restoring"the historical in-ternal logic of the modern development of this civilization so as to evaluate the global historical signifi-cance of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation from the perspective of human"world history".This is the examination of"the second combination"from a perspective of historical philosophy,awai-ting urgent promotion at present.Firstly,from a perspective of historical logic,the logical starting point for the modern civilization of the Chinese nation does not solely arise from natural internal evo-lution but rather emerges within the duality of dialectical logic in China's ancient and contemporary interactions with Western civilizations,that is,on the one hand,we should march forward from our national history to the modern world history,and on the other hand,we should get rid of the concept of"the East subordinating to the West"popular in world history,which is the socio-historical dialec-tics where the"second combination"takes place.Secondly,when considering the universal"world history"through a dialectical lens,we observe that the modern transformation of Chinese civilization has been intricately intertwined with Marxist ideology while the traditional Chinese culture has simul-taneously consolidated its own subjectivity within China's unique path towards socialist moderniza-tion,giving rise to an organic and unified new cultural entity.Thirdly,in terms of global historical significance of the new culture formed by the"second combination",as one of the three major forms of civilization characterized by the axial age of civilization,Chinese civilization has undergone a dialec-tical development throughout its journey in world history.Ultimately,it will demonstrate much ex-emplary significance in constructing a novel form of human civilization that looks towards future chal-lenges.
