论社会历史发展中的两种精神文明

社会主义精神文明与资本主义精神文明都是社会历史发展的必然结果.但是,不同社会形态下不同性质的精神文明产生的基础各异,所体现的指导思想、服务对象、社会道德风尚、文化建设亦不同.两种精神文明除本质差异外,也反映着当代人类文明进步的某些共性.在加强社会主义精神文明建设的过程中,既要坚持正确的政治方向和指导思想,也需要吸取包括资本主义在内的当代人类精神文明发展中的积极成果,为我所用.

On the Two Kinds of Spiritual Civilization in the Development of Social History

Both the socialist spiritual civilization and the capitalist spiritual civilization are the inevitable product in the development of social history. However, because of the differences in social formation, the two spiritual civilizations are sharply different in guiding ideology, the object of service, social moralities and cultural construction. Still, they have some common ground in the representations of civilization progress of mankind. In China, when spiritual civilization construction is one of the chief concerns, it is important to stick to socialist political direction and guiding ideology and meanwhile to draw on the positive elements of capitalist spiritual civilization.
