The Cultural Form of the Chinese Path to Modernization and the Modern Civilization of the Chinese Nation Zang Fengyu 2023, 57 (10):  13-21.  Abstract ( )   PDF (5310KB) ( )   Based on the actual situation of saving the nation from subjugation, reflecting on the limitations of modern New Confucianism in analyzing issues facing China from a cultural historical perspective, early Chinese Marxists believed that the deepseated cultural changes were fundamentally the result of the transformation of the mode of social production. The adaptation of the basic tenets of Marxism to Chinas specific realities and its fine traditional culture has enabled the Chinese people to change from passive to active thinking, and gradually found by itself the Chinese path to modernization as a new form of human civilization. Being rooted in the countrys unique national conditions and cultural traditions, the Chinese road to modernization has helped clarify tasks and connect ancient China to future China. Modern China has achieved the reshaping of Chinese civilization for the times and developed steadily according to its social conditions and cultural traditions. In the new era and embarking on the new journey, we must shoulder the new cultural mission and continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a leading country in culture, and develop a modern Chinese civilization in the process of pursuing the Chinese path to modernization.

Approaches to Narrate the Modernization of Ideological and Political Education Xiang Jiuyu 2023, 57 (10):  22-31.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7146KB) ( )   Modernization is a historical narrative, and the modernization of Ideological and Political Education is a historical narrative that defines its development direction, examines its development status, grasps its development requirements, and inquires about its development trends. A systematic understanding of the meaning and ways of this narrative can be approached from four perspectives: time, space, subject, and law. The modernization of Ideological and Political Education has its own temporal characteristics, which are compatible with the construction process of socialist civilization and the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and are in line with the constantly developing socialist ideological demands and ideological value expectations. The modernization of Ideological and Political Education is carried out in a specific spatial field, which carries specific values, ideas, and culture. It is necessary to focus on the spatial transformation driven by modernization and create a spatial carrier of Ideological and Political Education with modern characteristics. The modernization of Ideological and Political Education embodies the unity conforming to both regularity and purposiveness. On the one hand, it highlights the historical initiative of educators, and internally requires the formation of a modern subject pattern of education for all; on the other hand, its regularity is reflected in the integrated law of vertical articulation and horizontal alignment, the collaborative law of the education system and social system, the development law of knowledge, belief, and action, and the transformation law of toplevel design and flexible implementation.

Approaches to Empower the Modernization of Ideological and Political Education Yang Ting 2023, 57 (10):  31-39.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6954KB) ( )   The concept, theory and practice of the modernization of Ideological and Political Education are isomorphic with those of the Chinese path to modernization. The plurality of the subjects, the multidimensional nature of the field, and the dynamic nature of the development of the Chinese path to modernization inherently require Ideological and Political Education to achieve its own modernization and further play its positive role in promoting “strong unity”, realizing the “incorporation into every aspect” and fostering “alignment and commitment”. The modernized Ideological and Political Education empowers the pursuit of the Chinese road to modernization through its political leadership, social cohesion, soul cultivation and education, and risk prevention, and solves the problem of “how” Ideological and Political Education can serve the national strategy. Therefore, Ideological and Political Education can not only enable the strategic advancement of the Chinese path to modernization, but also empower itself to promote the development of its own modernization.  Related Articles | Metrics

The “Self-denial” of Life and Real Historical Life: The Perceptual Connotation and Manifestation of Marx's Dialectic  Wang Miao, Wang Huaiqian 2023, 57 (10):  48-54.  Abstract ( )   PDF (5441KB) ( )   As an important part of Marx's philosophical thought, dialectic is often confined to the definition and understanding of “formal methods”. In his early writings, Marx completed his critique of Hegels dialectic and old metaphysics, indicating the revolutionary transformation and paradigm shift of the “upsidedown” dialectic, and the reconstruction of the sensuous reality of dialectic on the path of survivalism. This allows dialectic to break through the closure and abstraction of the selfmovement of the spiritual subject and gradually reveal its true essence: it is not an abstract movement process or external formal method of absolute spirit, but the free unfolding of real people and the activities of their personal life, which are externalized as real historical life.

In modern China, in order to resist Western aggression, enlighten peoples intelligence and eradicate illiteracy, nobleminded patriots used the script reform as a breakthrough to explore ways to save the nation from peril. During the period of the War of Resistance by the whole nation, the script reform initiated by the Communist Party of China (CPC) firmly adhered to the path of “adapting to the Chinese context”, implemented the principle of the new democratic cultural construction that is national, scientific and peopleoriented, converted Latinized new scripts and traditional Chinese characters for the peoples use, and built a solid cultural bridge for changing the spiritual outlook of the Chinese people and promoting the modernization of people. In the pursuit of the Chinese path to modernization, to promote the modernization of people, it is still necessary to develop a national, scientific, and peopleoriented socialist culture, give full play to advantages of the modernization of Chinese culture, and increase the supply of quality cultural products and services, in order to provide strong cultural support for the modernization of people.

Marx's Theory of Economic Forms and its Expansion and Innovation: Also on the Digital Economy as a New Economic Form Huang Taiyan, Liu Yukai 2023, 57 (10):  68-84.  Abstract ( )   PDF (13708KB) ( )   Marx systematically expounded the theory of economic forms when examining the “labor process” in Chapter 5 of Capital, Volume I. Since Marx explained the economic forms by putting aside the social relations of production in the labor process, his theory of economic forms, falling under the category of productivity, is a scientific theory that reveals the general laws of the evolution of economic forms, thus becoming a theoretical weapon to explain the evolution of economic forms from agricultural economy to industrial economy, and from industrial economy to digital economy. The theoretical and empirical analysis of agricultural economy, industrial economy and digital economy by Western economists has once again verified the scientific and universal applicability of Marxs theory of economic forms. Today, when the digital economy has become a key force in reallocating global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape, to gain an upper hand in the development of the global digital economy, we must promote the innovation of adapting Marxs theory of  economic forms to the Chinese context and the needs of our times and build a new theory of digital economy with Chinese characteristics in the new era that lays a solid theoretical foundation for the development of the digital economy.

On the Evolutionary Logic of Distribution According to Work and its Implementation Paths in China Yan Jinqiang, Hu Cheng 2023, 57 (10):  85-94.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8238KB) ( )   Distribution according to work is the distribution mode of the economic system of socialist public ownership, superseding the capitalist system of exploitation and providing an important practical basis for realizing the common prosperity of all people. Since the reform and openingup, with changes in the ownership structure and allocation of resources, distribution according to work and its implementation paths have been also evolving. In line with the change in the allocation of resources from planned to market, the implementation paths of distribution according to work have changed from productbased to marketoriented. Although this is different from the classic view of distribution according to work, it does not depart from the essential provisions of distribution according to work, and it is conducive to giving play to its advantages under the conditions of market economy. Meanwhile, the ownership relationship has shifted from a model of pure public ownership to that of diverse forms of ownership, which has gradually narrowed the scope of the implementation of distribution according to work and made it difficult to be compatible with the principle of distribution according to factors in the market economy theoretically. Distribution according to work in a sharing manner, through expanding the theoretical connotation of distribution according to work, can effectively exert the role of public capital and labor factors and is highly integrated with the market economy, which is an innovative transformation of distribution according to work under the conditions of socialist market economy in the new era.

Analysis of the Historical Experience of “Societywide Prevention and Control Effort” in Contemporary China Zhong Jinyan 2023, 57 (10):  95-107.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9274KB) ( )   “Societywide prevention and control effort” is one of the frequently used terms in the public security governance in contemporary China. It is not only a guiding concept of public security, but also a particular system of public security. The concept of “societywide prevention and control effort” has gone through different development stages such as exploration, reform, establishment, consolidation, and improvement, through which the efficiency of the system has been continuously optimized and improved. In the crime prevention and governance processes such as crackdown, reform, prevention, publicity and education, it is complementary to the performance of duties and functions in accordance with the law by specialized bodies. In contemporary China, “societywide prevention and control effort” has been continuously consolidated and developed in the process of integrating the dual values of being “instrumental” and serving “purposes”. Affected by the three forces of government, market, and science and technology, it shows the development trend of continuously improving independent participation on the basis of mobilized participation, and highlights the improvement and development of national security governance capacity in contemporary China. In the new historical context, it is necessary to further enhance internal and external driving forces and increase facilitating forces for the development of “societywide prevention and control effort”.

The Emotional, Rational and Legal Logic of Political Party Consultation with Chinese Characteristics  Yan Feife 2023, 57 (10):  108-116.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6619KB) ( )   Political party consultation is rarely practiced in dealing with political party relations in Western countries, and has received little attention in Western academia. In sharp contrast, political party consultation in China has rich and institutionalized practical forms, based on which it has formulated its own unique operating logic. The emotional logic of “hearttoheart” based on friendship between political parties is the emotional basis for the orderly development of political party consultation with Chinese characteristics; the rational logic of fundamental political consensus and consultation around the public interest is the epistemological guarantee that the Party can make wise decisions through political consultation with Chinese characteristics; and the legal logic of taking the Constitution and the Party Constitution as the supreme basis under the system, in which the Party and the governments working together, transcends the statecentric ruleoflaw orthodoxy and is an institutionalized guarantee for the sustainable development of political party consultation with Chinese characteristics. The successful practice of political party consultation with Chinese characteristics has provided important reference for the rest of the world in broadening the theoretical perspective of consultative democracy and dealing with relations between political parties.

The Impact of Populist Parties on National Governance in Europe Lin Hong 2023, 57 (10):  117-126.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7256KB) ( )   The institutional environment of representative politics in the West determines that populism must reach the masses through party politics. Since the 90s of the 20th century, populist parties have sprung up in Europe, forming a leftright divide along both economic and cultural lines, each pursuing political goals in parliament or government. Populist parties have long been active in Europe, providing an optimal perspective on how populism affects national governance. From the experience of Europe, on the one hand, populist parties have shown strong electoral and mobilization capabilities due to their expertise in issue politics, identity politics, and passion politics; while on the other hand, they have failed to demonstrate credible leadership and governance capabilities given their inability to build social consensus and fulfil electoral commitments and the potential to be stuck in singleissue politics. There are few opportunities for populist parties in Europe to truly come to power, but their impact on national governance is farreaching, especially in terms of repoliticization of national governance, the prevalence of antagonistic thinking, and the pursuit of shortterm political effects. Currently, populism has become a new variable with a unique impact on national governance. Coexistence with populism is a rising challenge that mainstream political parties in Europe are facing.

The Inner Logic and Theoretical Dilemma of Žižek's Theory of Cynical Ideology  Zhang Die 2023, 57 (10):  127-136.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7277KB) ( )   Slavoj Žižek argues that the dominant mode of ideology in the postMarxist era is cynical. He focuses on the relationship between “illusion and reality”, which, in his psychoanalytic theory, are inextricably intertwined with “false consciousness and reality” in Marxs theory of ideology. Without making a crucial distinction between them, he constructs the theoretical framework of cynical ideology. He further illustrates the operating principle of cynical ideology through the fact that in commodity exchange activities, people mistakenly recognize the abstract universality of commodities and currencies as real entities, thus inverting the abstract universal and the concrete particular. Finally, he explains the operating mode of ideological illusion through the selfclarification of the proposition “law is law” and the analogy between ideological fantasy and belief. His conclusion seems to be a subversion of, yet it does not go beyond, the framework of Marxs theory of ideology. The increasing authority of symbolic networks in todays society provides the realistic basis for ieks theory, which is not fundamentally different from the time in which Marx lived.
