Abstract: Since the major proposition of “China's independent knowledge system” was put forward, the academic community has carried out research on it at multiple levels, across multiple disciplines, and in multiple fields, with the study of the “independent knowledge system of the Chinese path to modernization” being one such strand. At present, existing research has yet to conduct an in-depth differentiation between the “independent knowledge system of the Chinese path to modernization” and concepts such as “China's independent knowledge system” and the “theoretical system of the Chinese path to modernization”, resulting in a degree of conceptual confusion. The “independent knowledge system of the Chinese path to modernization” and “China's independent knowledge system” differ in their essential connotations and problem orientations, while exhibiting unity in their goal orientations, fundamental standpoints, cultural roots, and methods of construction. The “independent knowledge system of the Chinese path to modernization” and the “theoretical system of the Chinese path to modernization” differ in their content elements and formal characteristics, yet the two are mutually constitutive. On the basis of clarifying conceptual connotations and delineating conceptual boundaries, it is necessary to strengthen foundational, theoretical, and comparative research on the independent knowledge system of the Chinese path to modernization, to erect its foundational framework, to expand its academic depth, and to clarify its global coordinates and comparative advantages.

Key words: the Chinese path to modernization, independent knowledge system, theoretical system, conceptual differentiation, research approach

摘要： 自“中国自主知识体系”这一重大命题提出以来，学界对其展开了多层面、多学科、多领域的研究，关于“中国式现代化自主知识体系”的研究便是其中之一。目前既有研究成果并未对“中国式现代化自主知识体系”与“中国自主知识体系”“中国式现代化理论体系”等概念进行深入辨析，存在概念混淆的情况。“中国式现代化自主知识体系”与“中国自主知识体系”在本质内涵、问题指向上存在差异性，在目标指向、根本立场、文化根脉、构建方法上呈现统一性；“中国式现代化自主知识体系”与“中国式现代化理论体系”的内容要素、形态特征有别，但二者之间具有互构性。在廓清概念内涵、明确概念边界的基础上，要加强中国式现代化自主知识体系的基础性、学理性、对比性研究，搭建起中国式现代化自主知识体系的“四梁八柱”，拓展其学术深度，明确其全球坐标和比较优势。
