自改革开放后,中国的现代化事业走上了高速发展的快车道,在经济发展、社会转型的大背景下,社会思潮领域中也日益呈现出多元化趋势。其中,“告别革命”思潮作为一种政治性导向颇强的思潮,在许多领域中都产生了连带影响,而其所引发的关于“革命”的争议,更是时至今日仍有余音。事实上,这一思潮可以从纵向上追溯到中国近代,而从横向上也可以联系到国外的各种主义思潮。因此,透过“告别革命”思潮的迷雾,不难看到两条线索:一条涉及中国近代史上的“革命”与“改良”之争:辛亥革命前康梁改良派与孙中山革命派有过一场激烈的争论,五四运动时李大钊与胡适则发生了“问题”与“主义”之争;另一条则涉及到改革开放后舶来的新自由主义思潮以及社会民主主义思潮对主流意识形态的挑战。这两条线共同汇聚在围绕着“告别革命”思潮展开的相关争论中,使得这场争论涉及的命题之广,与历史、现实、未来的联系之深,都在中国思想史上颇为罕见。在学术界,革命问题本身牵涉颇广,涉及多个领域。而“告别革命”思潮作为一种统摄性的理论体系,更是抛出了多个重大的理论问题,其中,除了“告别革命”观点本身外,还包括“救亡压倒启蒙”论以及历史研究中的现代化范式等。正是围绕着这些命题,学术界展开了时间跨度颇长的理论争鸣。进入新时代,中国面临伟大复兴的历史机遇,亟需在意识形态领域巩固马克思主义指导思想和社会主义核心价值观的地位,为形成有助于推动社会主义现代化建设的合力创造有利的思想条件。因此,在梳理“告别革命”思潮相关争论的基础上,讲清伟大社会革命论对于相关重大理论问题的总结与回答,以此来回应与辨析“告别革命”思潮所涉及到的意识形态领域核心问题,就显得意义尤为重大。在做好这一批判解构性工作的同时,我们还应该注意到本土理论建构的工作。因此,包括应运而生的“伟大社会革命论”在内的马克思主义中国化最新成果,正是我们应对多元社会复杂思潮以及对于马克思主义革命观守正出新的理论成果。
Since the reform and opening up, China's modernization has embarked on the fast lane of rapid development. In the context of economic development and social transformation, the field of social thought is also increasingly showing a trend of diversification. Among them, "farewell to revolution", as a kind of ideological trend with strong political orientation, has had joint and several influence in many fields, and the controversy about "revolution" caused by it is still lingering today. In fact, this trend of thought can be traced back to modern China vertically, and can also be related to various foreign ideological trends horizontally. Therefore, it is not difficult to see two clues through the fog of "farewell to revolution": one is about the dispute between "revolution" and "reform" in the modern history of China: before the revolution of 1911, there was a fierce dispute between the reformists of Kangliang and the revolutionaries of Sun Yat Sen; during the May 4th movement, Li Dazhao and Hu Shi had a dispute between "problem" and "doctrine"; the other is about the post reform and opening-up ship The new liberalism trend of thought and the challenge of the social democratic trend of thought to the mainstream ideology. These two lines are gathered together in the relevant debate around the thought of "farewell to revolution", which makes the broad proposition involved in the debate and the deep connection with history, reality and the future rare in the history of Chinese thought.In academia, the issue of revolution itself involves a wide range of fields. The thought of "farewell to revolution", as a kind of overarching theoretical system, has thrown out many important theoretical problems, among which, in addition to the viewpoint of "farewell to revolution", it also includes the theory of "salvation over enlightenment" and the modernization paradigm in historical research. It is around these propositions that academic circles have launched a long-term theoretical debate.In the new era, China is facing the historical opportunity of great rejuvenation. It is urgent to consolidate the position of Marxist guiding ideology and socialist core values in the field of ideology, so as to create favorable ideological conditions for the formation of a joint force conducive to the promotion of socialist modernization. Therefore, on the basis of sorting out the relevant arguments of "farewell to revolution", it is of great significance to clarify the summary and answer of the great social revolution theory to the relevant major theoretical issues, so as to respond to and analyze the ideological core issues involved in the "farewell to revolution" trend of thought. At the same time, we should pay attention to the construction of local theories. Therefore, the latest achievements of Sinicization of Marxism, including the "great social revolution theory", are the theoretical achievements we have made in dealing with the complex trend of thought of pluralistic society and upholding the Marxist revolutionary concept.
