The Criticism Of Historical Nihilism Under The Horizon Of Historical Materialism

Since the reform and opening up,as a political trend of thought,historical nihilism,with its powerful theoretical deconstruction,ideological dispersion and political destruction,has posed a cultural security threat to the value consensus and political identity supporting the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.After the dramatic change of the Soviet Union and East China,historical nihilism rose strongly in our country,becoming a mental obstacle and destructive force not to be underestimated on the road of Chinese national rejuvenation,which is the most difficult for us to prevent and must be confronted with the "clear gun" and "hidden arrow".Xi Jinping once profoundly pointed out: "History is history,history can not be arbitrarily chosen,can not be nihilistic,can not be denied,the history of a nation is the foundation of a nation’s livelihood." We must take up the theoretical weapon,consciously and rationally break through the ideological fog of historical nihilism,and firm up the "Four self-confidence" to provide a strong ideological guarantee and spiritual support for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.To overcome historical nihilism,it is urgent to solve the problem of "what" and "why" from the Angle of academic theory and epistemology.What is historical nihilism? What is the origin of historical nihilism and the purpose of ideological expansion? Why is Historical nihilism a political trend of Thought? What is its theoretical essence and thought operation mechanism? In terms of axiology,what negative value does historical nihilism bring to China’s rise? It clarifies the significance of overcoming historical nihilism with historical materialism as a critical weapon,clarifies the road basis,theoretical basis,institutional basis and cultural basis of socialism with Chinese characteristics,helps "break" to "establish",and is based on the deep truth in academic theory.Therefore,it is of great theoretical significance and practical value to carry out the research on the original source of historical nihilism.The main body of the full text consists of five parts:The first part focuses on clarifying the "what is" of historical nihilism.Historical nihilism develops from nihilism and continues its "negative","subversive" and "deconstructive" characteristics.Historical nihilism is a kind of political trend of thought that negates the law of history,the internal logic of historical development and the positive nature of history,and arbitrarily deconstructs,distorts and smears history in the way of fragmentation of history.It is a kind of bourgeois ideology against socialism,and its philosophical essence is the idealist view of history.The second part explores the root of historical nihilism.The problem should be addressed at its root.The generation of any political trend of thought has both theoretical task and position tendency.This paper analyzes the origin of historical nihilism and captures its development track,ideological tendency and political intention in order to find a way to overcome historical nihilism.In a nutshell,the "logic of capital",the dramatic change of the Soviet Union and the East,the "peaceful evolution" of the West,and the contradictions existing in Chinese society are the realistic roots of the rampant historical nihilism.Philosophical relativism,value nihilism,neo-liberalism,Western-centered theory and post-modernism are the ideological roots of historical nihilism.Cultural self-abasement psychology,rebellious psychology and sycophantic western psychology are the social negative psychological basis for the generation and spread of historical nihilism.The third part Outlines the evolution of historical nihilism in China and its existing form.The political tendency of historical nihilism determines that it must take China as the main battlefield.Being good at screening and identifying the battlefield is the key to analyze and solve problems.Historical nihilism has experienced four stages: denial of Chinese fine traditional culture,"liquidation of Mao Zedong doctrine","farewell to revolution" and denial of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The field of its existence is permeated from history focus to daily life,from direct nothingness to hidden nothingness,and from regional dissemination to group generalization.The integration of cultural logic and political logic is its new feature.The forms of academia,literature,art,public opinion and politics are the main invisible ways of historical nihilism.The fourth part reveals the logical essence and harm of historical nihilism theoretically.Historical nihilism has shown great destructive power in dispelling the national mainstream ideology and disturbing the social and cultural order.Deciphering its whole logic and theoretical essence is the premise and foundation of dispelling its destructive power.Historical nihilism comprehensively negates the political purpose of "Four self-confidence" by the ideological nature of the bourgeoisie from theoretical standpoint,the metaphysical nature of the way of thinking,the extreme relativity of values and the abstract theory of human nature.The fifth part discusses the path of overcoming historical nihilism by taking historical materialism as "critical weapon".To examine the theoretical logic of historical nihilism from the perspective of grand history,and to expose the pseudo-scientific nature of its theoretical logic with the "truth" of historical materialism in view of the hidden intention and "fallacies" in its world view,historical view and values,so as to achieve the original.At the same time,we should realize self-confirmation of the road,theoretical,institutional and cultural basis of socialism with Chinese characteristics.To achieve the task of "breaking".
