The Marxist Philosophical Discourse System For Chinese Youth In The Information Age

The spread and development of Marxist philosophy in Chinese youth is inseparable from the development of Marxism in China.Compared to the children whose minds just begin to develop and the elderly whose behaviors have been stable,most of the young people have completed academic and political enlightenment,with the basic capacity of cultivating theory.But their faith is not firm and they are vulnerable to the effect from outside world.As the world view,value and philosophy of young people haven't formed,it is essential to give this group of people a brief account of Marxist philosophy.In the age of information and intelligence,the discourse system of Marxist philosophy faces a series of challenges which include the theory explains the interpretation of Chinese contemporary achievements weakly and it is difficult to provide explanations or solutions to some negative phenomena of modern Chinese society.Additionally,here come the dogmas as a result of the lack of critical spirit,the simplification and vulgarity in the popularization process and being separated from practice because of the "pure academic" philosophical research,etc.As the aborigines in the information society,the youth group has unique characteristics,such as using more time confetti,diversified thinking,favor of mini-languages and so on,which are different from the ones in the past.Therefore most of the college students get a superficial acquaintance about Marxist philosophy according to the empirical investigation and are lack of self-motivated consciousness about learning.Soviet Union,a former superpower used to be flourished,had a great impact on China.The disintegration of the Soviet regime overnight has many reasons.One of the important factors is the failure of the construction of the Marxist discourse system,which resulted Soviet Union gradually lost people's support.This phase of history should be taken as a warning and worth to be researched deeply.Thus it is imperative and significant to innovate the discourse system of Marxist philosophy.The advent of the information age has put forward new requirements for the Marxist philosophical discourse system facing the Chinese youth.Those requirements include how to transform from the revolutionary discourse system to the constructive discourse system,how to innovate theoretical terminology by adhering to the basic principles of Marxist philosophy,how to deal with the relationship between traditional philosophical language and internet language and how to use new technology to find a discourse expression and communication mode which are accepted easily by youngsters.However,Marxist philosophy and new media information technology just start to mingle and we still have a long way to go.Series products of new media,which are close to the lifestyle of young people,are still deficient.We should pay more attention on this perspective.As we all know,Mao Zedong's philosophical thought is a successful model and great achievement combining Marxist philosophy with the specific situation in China.The socialist theories with Chinese characteristics has a solid base,rich content and profound implication from Marxist philosophy,being established on great practice of solving problems in China,further integrating the excellent thoughts of Chinese traditional philosophy.Furthermore Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a new era,which comes from the practice of Marxism in China during the 21 st century,is the latest theoretical achievements.Its philosophy,as the theoretical basis,displays the idealism and responsibility using plain language with literary grace.Thus young people feel the thought is charming.The deep analysis of these excellent philosophical thoughts and the style of writing can enlighten us on the constructing of the discourse system of Marxist philosophy at present.The Marxist philosophy need to get rid of the problem that the dissemination effect in the youth is poor and reflect on its own,obtaining better development with an eye to the era background.Facing many new challenges,it is necessary to highlight its value dimension and construct a new form of Marxist value philosophy with humanistic care,value criticism and the function of changing reality.Accordingly,the discourse system should root in the basic principles of Marxist philosophy,having distinctive practical character and spirit of retrospection,embodying the theoretical progress of the information age,holding the means of communication closed to the youth.From the perspective of methodology we ought to interpret personal charisma of Karl Marx as a revolutionary martyr,basing on the truth,making young people understand the history of Marxist philosophy.We should give consideration to the characteristics of young people(such as age,cultural level,growing conditions and career types),improving the education to the youth groups belonging to different categories.We must promote the fusion of Marxist and Chinese traditional philosophy,being rooted in the fertile soil of traditional culture.It is significant that we are supposed to hold rational critical spirit,abandon dogmatism,advocate academic revolution and advance the continuous improvement of philosophy.Besides,think highly of new media and use the means that youngsters are interested in to propagate the preciseness,purity and classics of Marxist philosophy.We should not only value home education and change concept about it,but also cultivate young parents' philosophical thinking and realize the inheritance of Marxist philosophy fundamentally.Through these efforts I believe we can reconstructive the Marxist philosophical discourse system facing China youth in the information Age and make Marxist philosophy flourish in China youth.
