The Unit Society In The View Of Philosophy

Unit is a particular phenomenon in the Chinese society. The production and the existence of the units phenomenon have their historical rationality. It connected closely with the Chinese socialistic system design and the socialistic practices. Since the reform and opening, with the appearance of the new systems, the unit phenomenon is experiencing a profound transform. This transform gestated and figured a new form of society which is different with the primary society—units society, and it totally changed the Chinese's social life.Because of the above-mentioned transform, the units phenomenon caused the domestic and foreign scholars'attention. They investigated the units phenomenon from the different subjects and the different visual angles deeply. But the investigation of the units phenomenon from the philosophy visual angle is unusual. The paper is foundation on the Marx's dialectical materialism and historical materialism, ties up with the Chinese society fact, try to investigate the practical issues by the basic philosophical theory, and attempt to provide a novel and unique philosophical visual angle.I To analyze unit society can begin with"three forms theory"of Marxist human and society development. Marxism considers that, production and development of human being history must experience three history forms. The first is the human reliance relation form; the second is human's independence which bases on dependence of material; the third is the form that establish on the individual fully development and their common society productive forces, which become the base of their society wealthy. According to Marxist three forms to analyze Chinese unit society, we can find that unit society is the history process which human must experience in a sense. It is appearance of human's dependence period and show human's group nature. The production and development of human and society are of identity and synchronous. The concrete period of society development cannot separate from human real development. Special society is always in the state of human unity or community. This identity and synchronism is unchangeable. So the development of society and human production is the same in the history process.Classic society theory is heuristic to our analyzing unit society and human existence condition in unit society. Although these theories has not and can not take unit society as definite study target, the nature of the questions it refers to lay the foundation for us in analyzing unit society. Contemporary scholar, based on the known theoretical foundation, make the first theory explore. Because these studies are concrete but can not be deepened into, it has not form perfect systematic theory. These preliminary theory study benefits to comprehend every level question of unit society and deepen into studying society. The above theories lay the solid theoretical foundation for the paper developing unit society study from the philosophy point of view.II China had been controlled by the patriarchal clan system for thousands of years that set up the historical units society adeptly. In the patriarchal clan system, family system emphasizes on combining the individuals to the community of blood relationship, for the society has the characteristic of the same structure of the nation and the society based on the family system. The traditional society is highlight on tightening the individuals in a narrow group. The units society influenced by this heritage which ties the person in the narrow community by using another relationship. It is all about fettering people into a big group or the organization, no matter patriarchal clan system or the unit society. Individuals do not have the independent feature. It appears the shared feature of the two societies, patriarchal clan society and unit society, by existing in the group.From the perspective of the formation and progress in history, unit society takes shape of the new china after the old political and social system. It applies the new system of the new socialism. The formation of the units society accompanies the construction of the socialism.Firstly, units society is the undertaker of the concept of socialism value. Socialism delaminate the uncountable crisis and contradiction through planned economy system. The planned economy's the fundamental point is that the economy criteria of the society is controlled wholly by the country, and remove the market from the whole civil economy system. The movement, circulation, and disposition of the resources need to be accomplished by a mechanism in a kind of society which has no market. The unit is born in this special organized form of the society under such a background. In addition of the prior stage of construction the socialism in China with the insufficient social resources. We must redistribute the limited resources which can give the unit system a proper position to become the best choice of the economy condition at that time. Therefore, the critics of traditional culture emphasize on establishing a more effective organization, which forms all the members of the community as a whole rather than separate parts. Both the emphasis on the integrity of traditional culture and the thought that the critiques tends to overcome are the cultural resources of establishing the unit society.Finally, from the perspective of the origin and development of human being as well as human nature, the form of unit society is the inevitable result of"people's dependence"in the history of human being. It embodies the collectivism of human nature. Both patriarchal clan system and unit society can't free from the narrow-minded human community, however, it neither develops to larger community. After all, blood relation which replaces patriarchal clan system has been replaced by unit form in unit society. In the chain of development, unit society is a transition from the first form to the second form, not the stage of creating independent individuals.III Because of the complexity of the units phenomenon, analysis the attribute of the unit deeply, we could conclude it as the multiple attribute: it is a social organized form, a social control form, a social welfare community, and a social structure. People's existence in the units society depends on the attribute of the unit. The nature of the units society is a society with the characteristics as physical dependence, contact narrow minded, social life politically and the movement and the solidification of the society. It limited the growth and the development of the independent individuals.The above features show that, the unit is not a independent individual community, the people in the units society are not independent person. The humanity phenomenon of the twist and dissimilation are existing in the units society universally. The units people can only be the person who has the dependent personality. Therefore, uncountable contradictory fetters the development of people potentially in the unit society itself. IV The establishment of market economy shakes the legal basis of unit society, whose decline has become inevitable. With the reform and open policy, unit society is caught in unprecedented crisis. A brand new social form----post unit society has formed and comes onto the stage of history. China is in the stage of reconstruction, and the power of reconstruction the society comes from three aspects. The most important one is the liberalization brought by market economy. It enlarges the interaction between people; help them overcome the obstacles of narrow-minded community and reshape themselves in the interaction which is large, general and social historical. Besides, the globalization and the regulation of the relationship between country and community is another great power of reconstruction the society.The new form of the society---- Post unit society is a transitional period. In a sense, it is a ordinary and open community compatible to the interest of the market economy. It mainly relates to dependence. The only way for post unit society to develop is civil society. The collapse of unit society and appear of post unit society is a big forward of our society. It conforms to human nature and law of social development.All in all, from the perspective of the origin and development of human being, we witness China has experienced a short period of unit society after a long patriarchal clan system. Civil society, which emphasizes individuals based on materials, will replace unit society. It is a prelude of the entire liberalization of human being.V. As above analysis, it is easy to find out that: from the view of human's creating and developing, it was a short-lived units society came after a long-lived patriarchal clan society. Compared with the patriarchal clan society, the units society was a great advancement, it contacted everyone together by a social link, but in the patriarchal clan people contact others only by their inherent blood relationship. However, in the units society, the individuals were not independent, but still remained with a state of reckoning on each other, especially the personal dependence, which abstracting people into a narrow crowd community closely. The units society has those characteristics relate to the economy and polity.The biggest limit of the units society is abstracting individual creating and developing, it obviously will be replaced by other kind of society which humors human developing. Therefore, the reform and opening adapted to the trend of the society development and the human natural request. Thus it becomes an irresistible society developing power.The foundation of the market economy system totally changed the legitimacy basis which made the units society existed. The qualifications which limited people into a narrow crowd community had changed, individuals no longer belonged to any units, but changed human from the units people to the society people. Society people ending the units people's"the state of personal dependence", and turn into"things'dependence are independent individuals". The power of this change came from the release of human by market economy. Meanwhile, the relation between nation and society, the effect of globalize are also the qualifications.After the unit society terminated, it will be the civil society to replace it. Compared with the units society, the civil society is no more a personal dependence society, but a interests dependence society; it is no more a narrow community society, but an usual communicated society; it is no more s political society, but a daily live society; it is no more a low flowage close society, but high flowage opening society.People in the later units society is"things'dependence are independent individuals", it is not in that period when people finally release, but at a transitional of becoming"individual united", a developing transitional of taking off"dependence"and getting into"independence". From the patriarchal clan society to the units society, and the to the civil society which in the later units society, the Chinese society phylogeny is accord with Marx's theoretic about three phases of human creating and developing. As a result, the units society is the historical period of a transitional from the patriarchal clan society to the civil society, as well as that, it is also an important part of human casting off community principle and the personal dependence, set up the individual principal and the independent personality.
