Jiang Yi The Chinese nation is at an important historical turning point, and the rejuvenation of Chinese culture is regarded as the historical mission entrusted to us by the times. At this important historical moment, whether we can seize the opportunity, find our own positioning in the thick accumulation of history and culture, innovate our own concepts in the historical mission of inheriting culture, and build our own characteristics in the diverse changes of the culture of the times are all major historical challenges we face. To grasp this historical opportunity and respond to the important challenges of the times, we need not only our full knowledge preparation, but also our ideological wisdom. The cultural development of today's China has shown us that the establishment of cultural consciousness is greatly promoting our social development, and the result of cultural consciousness will change the cultural image of today's China. We know that cultural consciousness here first refers to a strong identification with one's own culture, the enhancement of one's own cultural awareness, and the urgent demand of the public for cultural development. Ideological agreement is not the same as unity of action. Only when we fully recognize the importance of cultural identity and strive to reflect our cultural identity in action can we achieve true cultural consciousness. Cultural consciousness refers to ideological consciousness, which is that we truly form an understanding of the nature of our own culture, especially the understanding of different cultural forms in the process of cultural development and transformation in the world today, and finally build the particularity and universality of our own culture. The particularity here means that the profound influence of Chinese traditional culture has been reflected in the way of life and thinking of today's Chinese, so how to reflect the particularity of Chinese culture in today's world cultural pattern determines the effect of the times of Chinese culture. Universality here means that the particularity of Chinese culture must be understood by different cultures around the world, so such particularity must be reflected in the form of expression with universal significance. Only on the basis of understanding and exchange for the cultures of all countries in the world can our culture truly enter the stage of "self-control". However, to achieve this self-awareness of culture, we must grasp the core and essence of culture, which is the philosophical thought of the times. The key to establishing cultural consciousness should be to achieve the philosophical consciousness of the entire nation. The Chinese nation is rich in the tradition of philosophical thinking, and the Chinese culture contains profound philosophical thoughts. Whether it is the Analects, the Tao Te Ching, the Mean, or the University, these treatises representing the wisdom of the Chinese nation fully demonstrate the characteristics of philosophical thinking in Chinese culture, which are manifested in the premise of thought and action on personal understanding, and the formation of ideas on empirical activities. Although the conscious consciousness of Chinese philosophy arose after the introduction of Western philosophy, Chinese's way of thinking has always been philosophical. Chinese wisdom has two characteristics: First, Chinese are good at finding universal truths from the specific matters around them, and always try to use these truths to understand other related or similar matters, so as to complete the understanding of things. In this sense, Chinese's way of thinking is more concerned with the course of things than with the things that are presented in the process. Second, Chinese's understanding of things is more based on relationships, paying more attention to the people and things in their own living environment, and considering more about how to establish their position from various relationships. In this sense, Chinese's way of thinking places more emphasis on the whole and the whole than on the individual and the part. It can be seen that there is a mutual correspondence between the thinking characteristics of Chinese and the characteristics of wisdom: personal cognitive activities are based on and starting from what is happening around them, so Chinese thinking has the characteristics of experience induction; And the experiential activity itself is to better understand the whole and the overall situation, so Chinese thinking has abstract universal meaning. However, it is regrettable that this way of thinking of the Chinese does not come from our conscious consciousness, but is a summary of the experience of the long-term life practice of our predecessors, and is a distillation and sublimation of the expression of traditional Chinese thought. Although we have repeatedly emphasized the particularity and universality of Chinese way of thinking, this emphasis is based on our understanding of Western philosophy that is different from ours, and is the result of our comparison between different philosophies. The difference in philosophical thinking has brought us a new understanding of our own philosophy, and even a reorientation of our own philosophical way of thinking, which stimulates our strong interest in fully understanding our own philosophy. It is in this context of thought that we begin to form a conscious awareness of our own way of thinking. First of all, philosophical self-awareness means our active knowledge of thoughts. Hegel said, "What makes man nobler than animals is that he has thoughts." From this point of view, all human culture is human culture because the mind is active and has been active in it. ...... It is only when the mind pursues nothing else, but only thinks about itself, that is, the noblest thing, that is, when it seeks and discovers itself, that is its best activity. 3056373 thought is born precisely when it becomes its own object. Thus, philosophical self-awareness itself means thought. The idea here is not completely the cognitive activity of concrete things, or the understanding of the laws of the development and evolution of things, but an abstract summary of the content of our cognitive activities in a conceptual way, and a conceptual expression of the development law of things. This way of thinking requires that thought form in a conceptual way the expression and construction of the content of thought as we know, and it is also the conceptual prescriptive regulation of our thought itself. Looking at our current philosophical thinking, it seems that what we lack is this active awareness of thought. It is easier for us to be satisfied with the understanding of the appearance of things, and it is easier to accept the intellectual understanding obtained from experience, but we are less willing to grasp the fundamental nature of things from the conceptual level. True thinking should consist in being able to establish the basic principles of grasping things on top of things, and being able to have the basic ability to understand experience before experience. As Hegel said, "True thought and scientific insight can only be obtained through the labor of concepts." Only concepts can produce the universality of knowledge, and the universality of this knowledge produced, on the one hand, does not carry with it the uncertainty and poverty that are common to common sense, but is formed and complete knowledge, and on the other hand, it is not the uncommon universality of the rational gift, which tends to be corrupted by the laziness and conceit of genius, but the truth that has developed into its original form, which can become the property of all conscious reason. Second, 3056374 Secondly, the consciousness of philosophy lies in the fact that we can form an overall understanding of things and grasp the basic situation of the development of things from a high level. Marx said: "As long as theory convinces people, it can master the masses." And as long as the theory is thorough, it can convince people. The so-called thoroughness is to grasp the root of things. 3056375 this thoroughness is not only manifested in the theory itself being able to justify itself, but more importantly, the theory can grasp the whole and have a complete understanding of things from a macroscopic perspective. Moreover, such a theory must be tested in practice, thus demonstrating the thoroughness of the theory in practice. Obviously, this kind of philosophical consciousness requires us to recognize the context of historical development and make the theory forward-looking and predictive, and this foresight and foresight are the essential characteristics of the thorough theory itself. The empirical approach only holds us back, and starting entirely from experience will make us "see the trees but not the forest." Only when we really form an overall understanding of things, only when we can grasp the development law of things from a macroscopic perspective, can we explain the various phenomena we face in experience from a philosophical level, and grasp the development context of things in various changes in things. Third, the consciousness of philosophy is also manifested in the conscious cultivation of theoretical thinking, and in the study and understanding of the history of philosophy in the past. Engels said: "Theoretical thinking is nothing more than an innate quality in terms of talent. This talent needs to be developed and cultivated, and in order to carry out this cultivation, there is no other way than to learn the philosophy of the past. 3056376 he pointed out that the theoretical thinking of each era is a historical product of that era, and it has different contents and different forms in different eras. Therefore, only through the learning and understanding of theoretical thinking in different eras can we improve our theoretical thinking ability. The theoretical thinking ability here mainly includes two parts, one is the scientific thinking ability and the other is the philosophical thinking ability. The ability of scientific thinking helps us to form appropriate judgments on various scientific hypotheses and scientific ideas that have appeared in past history, and helps us to recognize the degree of innovation of scientific theories and ideas in our time. But the ability of scientific thinking only stays at or can only understand the surface of empirical phenomena, and even the scientific explanation of empirical phenomena is only a logical method to reclassify these phenomena. Philosophical thinking ability, on the other hand, puts forward higher requirements for our thinking. It requires us to be able to go beyond empirical phenomena and grasp the essence behind them through a superficial understanding of them. This requires us to first understand the various theoretical concepts that have appeared in the history of philosophy in the past, and to look for the historical traces of the so-called new ideas that have emerged in our time in the context of history. At the same time, it also requires us to have the ability to go beyond history and experience itself, to be able to peel back from history and experience and form our own theoretical concepts to explain our contemporary practical problems and propose solutions to them. Finally, philosophical self-consciousness is manifested in the conscious use of dialectics, in the renunciation of "absolute truth" and the ultimate concern for practical activities. According to Hegel's conceptual dialectic, the movement of thought is nothing more than the process of change of the absolute spirit in the human mind. Although such a dialectic presupposes the inverted relationship between concept and real existence, there is an important idea that we must keep in mind, that is, only when we can understand the development of things in the way that the mind itself moves, that is, when we can consciously use the dialectic of thinking, can we truly understand how the contradiction and conflict between the activity of thinking and the existence of reality. Only then can we truly understand why we must put the final results of thinking activities into practical activities to test. This means that dialectics is applied not only to the activity of thinking itself, but also to our practical activities in reality. Observing things in a dialectical way, explaining phenomena, putting forward ideas, and forming theories are the conscious manifestations of philosophy. From cultural consciousness to philosophical consciousness, this reflects our deeper understanding of our own culture and is our responsible attitude towards our own culture. Only at the level of cultural consciousness, we can only grasp the power of thought from the particularity of our own culture, and can only rely on our understanding of our own culture to experience the differences between different cultures. Philosophical consciousness helps us understand the composition and change of ideas from the conceptual level, and grasp the historical role of ideas from the development of ideas themselves. From the perspective of the broader culture of today's world, only when we can achieve philosophical consciousness can our cultural consciousness become an action of universal significance, and will our own cultural characteristics be widely recognized and understood. The title of this series "Philosophy and Culture" is based on the above considerations, because culture is the external embodiment of philosophy, and philosophy is the inner spirit of culture. In this series, we will successively publish the latest works of influential philosophers and scholars from other disciplines in China, fully reflecting the unique thinking of domestic scholars in the field of philosophy and culture. This series of books has been strongly funded by the national "985 Project" humanities and social sciences innovation base "Values and National Spirit", thank you here!(AI翻译)
