我国“内生现代性”话语建构的必要与可能

我国从传统社会向现代社会的历史转型,需要建构适合自身伦理文化特征的现代性话语,特别是改革开放四十多年来,取得举世瞩目的辉煌成就,更能够凸显出现代性话语的内生之路。然而,探索我国的现代性发展,往往被西方先发的现代性话语所遮蔽,似乎被外缘现代性发展模式所主导,难以凸显出伦理文化在社会发展中的内在推动力。通过考察传统伦理秩序的演变与现代性的生成机理,对我国早期启蒙思想所蕴含的现代性萌芽进行深入分析和判断,充分表明中国具有内生现代性的伦理文化潜质。尽管这种潜质被西方先发的现代性所压制,但经过曲折的发展道路,最终在马克思主义的正确指引下,确立社会主义制度,坚持改革开放,实现中华民族伟大复兴,使我国建构出以内生现代性为主导的话语模式。

The Necessity and Possibility of Discourse Construction of Endogenous Modernity in China

China needs to construct a modernitydiscourse system suitable for its own ethical characteristics in the historical transition from a traditional society to a modern society. Especially after China has made brilliant achievements that have attracted worldwide attention during the past 40 years of the Reform and Opening Up, the endogenous road ofmodernitydiscourse has become more prominent. However, the development ofmodernityin our country is often obscured by the first Western discourse of modernity, and seems to be dominated by the development model of exogenous modernity,which makes it difficult to highlight the internal driving force of local ethical culture in social development. Through the investigation of the evolution of traditional ethical order and the generation mechanism of Modernity, as well as the in-depth analysis and judgment of the Modernitysprout contained in the early Enlightenment thought, this article fully demonstrates that China has the potential of endogenous modernity in ethical culture. Although this potential was suppressed by the first Western discourse of modernity, we have finally constructed a discourse mode dominated by endogenous modernitythrough tortuous development path, which benefited from the implementation of a series of fundamental measures:under the correct guidance of Marxism, we have established the socialist system and persisted in reform and opening up, and committed ourselves to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and so on.
