Abstract: After 40 years of development, the discipline of ideological and political education has formed an independent knowledge system, which was nurtured within the theoretical framework of Marxism.This independent knowledge system is not only the theoretical sublimation of the practical insights of ideological and political education but also the product of the collective exploration of the academic community of ideological and political education. From a structural point of view, the independent knowledge system of the discipline of ideological and political education consists of four parts: the conceptual, theoretical, principle, and paradigm layers, constituting a complete knowledge system and tracing the evolution of knowledge through its development. In terms of types, comprehensive research, thematic research, historical research, normative research, comparative research and applied research constitute the basic content of the independent knowledge system of the discipline of ideological and political education, reflecting the basic attributes and practical focuses of this knowledge system. The independent knowledge system of the discipline of ideological and political education is an organic and unified whole based on the “truth”derived from the Marxist theory, the “goodness” mainly expressed in civilization value, national value, social value and individual value, and the “beauty” reflected in the internal structure of the knowledge system. It has distinctive theoretical qualities, which lays the knowledge foundation for comprehensively enhancing “leading power of ideological and political education” and promoting its highquality development.

Key words: the discipline of ideological and political education, independent knowledge system, “leading power of ideological and political leadership”, research type, distinctive characteristics

摘要： 历经40年的发展，思想政治教育学科形成了具有独立形态的知识体系，这一知识体系孕育于马克思主义的理论母体，既是思想政治教育实践的理论升华，又是思想政治教育学术共同体集体探索的产物。从结构上看，思想政治教育学科自主知识体系由概念层、论断层、原理层、范式层四个部分组成，构成了一个完整的知识系统，并在发展的过程中形成了知识演进的谱系脉络。从类型上看，综合研究、专题研究、历史研究、规范研究、比较研究、应用研究，构成了思想政治教育学科自主知识体系的基本内容，反映出这一知识体系的基础属性与实践导向。思想政治教育学科自主知识体系是建立在马克思主义理论基础上的“真”，以文明价值、国家价值、社会价值、个体价值为主要表现的“善”，以及知识体系内在结构层次所反映出的“美”的有机统一整体，具有鲜明的理论特质，为全面提升“思政引领力”，推动思想政治教育高质量发展奠定了知识基础。
