Editor's note: On July 18th, the 2023 China Network Civilization Conference Network Content Construction Forum was held in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The theme of this forum is "Shining Ideology, Leading the Journey of Civilization in the Era", aiming to strengthen the guidance of cyberspace ideology, uphold integrity and innovation, and promote the online dissemination of the Party's innovative theories, solidly promoting the construction of network civilization.
The following is the speech of Gao Horong, director of the Publicity Department of the Party Committee and the Teachers' Department of Xiamen University, at the keynote speech of "Glorious Journey Telling a Good Story of Chinese path to modernization".
Chinese path to modernization is the result of long-term practice and exploration of the CPC and the Chinese people, and it is a great and arduous cause. To tell the story of Chinese path to modernization well, we need not only to tell the goal, planning and strategy of Chinese path to modernization well at the level of publicity and interpretation, but also to build an independent knowledge system about Chinese path to modernization at the level of academic innovation, to gather ideological and academic forces, and to provide strong intellectual support for promoting Chinese path to modernization. Philosophy and social science is Bacon's work of casting the soul. Accelerating the construction of philosophy and social science with Chinese characteristics, in the final analysis, is to build an independent knowledge system of Chinese path to modernization. Xiamen University has made active exploration and beneficial practice in building an independent knowledge system of Chinese path to modernization.
Deeply grasp the dialectical relationship between Chinese path to modernization and independent knowledge system
Chinese path to modernization is a modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated. China's independent knowledge system, based on the theoretical innovation and practical exploration of Chinese path to modernization, is the content of Chinese path to modernization to create new forms of civilization. It is also a practical path for Chinese philosophy and social sciences to carry out dialogue and exchanges with the international academic community and become a member of the world's academic community. Chinese path to modernization contains a unique world outlook, values, history, civilization, democracy, ecology, and its great practice, providing a practical basis and theoretical cornerstone for China's independent knowledge system. The field of philosophy and social sciences should keep up with the pace of development of the times, understand the changes in China from the perspectives of world changes, era changes, historical changes, and structural changes, change abstract principles and Western led thinking paradigms, and actively reveal the autonomous logic of the evolution of Chinese social reality.
Strengthening cultural confidence and bravely becoming pioneers in the construction of independent knowledge systems
Xiamen University's philosophy and social sciences have a long history, profound heritage, and a good tradition, which have always been the school's distinctive features and advantages. In recent years, with the joint efforts of the whole school, the total number of projects approved by the National Social Science Foundation has ranked first in the country for three consecutive years. On October 25, 2022, Xiamen University set up the Chinese path to modernization Research Institute for the first time, aiming at the forefront, organizing scientific research, grasping the direction, and making a series of important achievements.
Promoting self-reliance and self-improvement in philosophy and social sciences through organized scientific research
Building an independent knowledge system of Chinese path to modernization and promoting the construction of the discipline system, academic system and discourse system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics is a systematic project and system integration, involving various fields and aspects. It needs to advance with the times to promote the innovation of research methods of philosophy and social sciences.
One is to strengthen top-level planning and proactively connect with national needs. Philosophy and social sciences need to conduct in-depth research and answer major theoretical and practical issues facing China's development and the governance of our party. To be guided by national needs, strengthen top-level design, and answer and solve the urgent needs related to national strategic needs raised by the times. On the basis of the establishment of the Chinese path to modernization research institute, Xiamen University insists on promoting cross regional and interdisciplinary dialogue, breaking the disciplinary barriers of natural science and philosophy science, and vigorously promoting organized scientific research. It has announced and approved 22 "Chinese path to modernization research projects" with research value from more than 160 topics. With the organizational structure of "one research institute" and "N research centers", the joint force of Chinese path to modernization research has been formed across disciplines and platforms.
The second is to adapt to the trend and make good use of the Internet, the "biggest variable". The current wave of informatization is reshaping the new pattern of human economy, politics, culture, society, and ecology, while also presenting new opportunities and challenges for the work of philosophy and social sciences. No matter how the form of media changes with the development of the times, people's demand for information remains unchanged, and content construction has always been the focus of network ideological work. We should use the Internet and big data technology to strengthen the infrastructure and informatization construction of philosophy and social science books and documents, networks, databases, etc., speed up the construction of the national philosophy and social science literature center, and build a convenient, fast and resource sharing platform for philosophy and social science research informatization. Strengthen the construction of online content, transform content into content charm, and promote the main theme of online ideology and culture with high-quality content supply.
The third is to strengthen the integration between China and foreign countries and tell the story of China well. The transition from learning and introducing Western philosophical and social science concepts to constructing Chinese concepts based on Chinese factual experience reflects the academic confidence and self-awareness of philosophical and social sciences, which is a commendable progress. Since this year, under the theme of "Humanities and Social Sciences in Chinese path to modernization: Mission, Responsibility and Feelings", Xiamen University has held more than 10 academic seminars at home and abroad, attracted more than 1300 guests from home and abroad, and explored the path of Chinese path to modernization in an all-round and multi field way. The concept system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics should not only be based on the local context, but also find its position in the larger world academic coordinate system, widely accept the impact of world knowledge, and win the discourse power in communication and dialogue.
