The economic integration brings about a change in the global economy and a more complicated and organic system come into being, in which there exists two economics paradigms, that is, The western economics paradigm and China economics paradigm which have different abstract degree and depicts different economic relationship. And so, how to differentiate one from the other and to develop the global economy, especially China's economy, is urgent and critical to us. This paper shows the key that a philosophical rethinking should be conducted and a kind of "subsidiary awareness" from it should be attained. By analyzing the background of economics, we can find that there is a natural relationship between economics and philosophy, and some words and phrases from scientific philosophy are widely used in studies on theoretical economics. For example, paradigm is a word from philosophy, but we know that this word in Kuhn's thoughts is a vague one and Kuhn himself thinks that paradigm is not suited to the western economics for lack of self-evident truth. But the history of economics tells us that economists try to set up an imbricative and ideal economic society by imitating physics, aiming at self-evident truth which had become reality by calculus analysis, especially after the prevalence of marginal revolution. So it is possible to analyze economics by using Kuhn's paradigm thoughts for its scientific characteristics. In this paper, paradigm is firstly analyzed and regarded as a system that consists of idea paradigm, rule paradigm and practice paradigm; then, a combined point between the western economics and paradigm is found out by analyzing economics, that is to say, idea paradigm has the same meaning as the regulative problems, and rule paradigm and practice paradigm are branches of analyzed problems. So author thinks that it is possible to appear the natural development law of economics by analyzing economics theory introduced by Kuhn's thoughts.In this paper, the possibility of applying Kuhn's thoughts in the researches onwestern economics is proved and conformed by studying the development history of western economics, and institutional economics, the development trend of western economics is deduced. At the same time, A decision is made that America paradigm and Soviet Union paradigm shouldn't be looked upon as the guideline of China's economic paradigm and that in idea paradigm Marxian economics has common ground with institutional economics and a set of socialism economics theory in rule paradigm and practice paradigm should be formed on the basis of idea paradigm afforded by Marxian economics and by inheriting and reconstructing Marxian economics in accordance with institutional economics, because we know that Marxian economics is more abundant in connotation than institutional economics and the logic space afforded by its idea paradigm is great although it is impossible to specifically guide China's economy hi transitional period for the limitation of its historical background. In this paper author discusses how to reach the goal from 3 aspects, the studying frame, the starting point and method and sincerely hope it will be helpful to the development of china economics.
