Abstract: While it is recognized that laws exist in the ideological and political education, “what are the laws” remains a broad and vague question. This question at least contains some subquestions such as “is there one or more than one law” and “if there is more than one law, what is the relationship between different laws”. To explicitly understand and answer the questions of laws in the ideological and political education, it is necessary to introduce the ideas of types and levels. The types and levels of such laws are determined by their inner contradictions. There are universal contradictions and particular contradictions. Universal contradictions determine the basic nature of a thing, while particular contradictions determine the particular nature of a thing. The basic laws in the ideological and political education reflect the evolution of universal contradictions as basic contradictions, and the particular laws reflect the evolution of its particular contradictions. The particular contradictions in the ideological and political education also have different types and levels. The differentiation of types and levels can help us get an accurate understanding of the laws in the ideological and political education from a structural perspective, and more importantly, can facilitate the scientification of the research of basic theories at a logical level.
