Cultural Consciousness In The Modern Situation

Culture is a special phenomenon of the human society, and the research on it often attracts people's interests. The research about "culture self-consciousness" is only a narrow view angle in the wide visual threshold of culture, but it has close relation with some areas and questions about culture research. So, the research on "culture self-consciousness" has important theoretical and practical meaning.Directed by Marxist culture theory, this paper reviewed "culture self-consciousness" from the perspectives of both culture philosophy and modernization, and discussed the intension and meaning of "culture self-consciousness", the modernized condition of "culture self-consciousness", the developing mechanism of "culture self-consciousness", the "culture self-consciousness" in the construction of culture and the "culture self-consciousness" of the people of the Communist Party of China in the new century.The whole paper can be divided into five parts. The first chapter discussed the general intension and meaning of "culture self-consciousness". From the perspective of subject, "culture self-consciousness" is the self-consciousness of the culture's subject, and from the perspective of the object's result, it is a sign that people's knowledge on culture has reached a certain degree, so it is a deep cultural reflection, and still it will be embodied as philosophical conscious reflection, while in the essence, it is a kind of practice.

Under modernized condition, practice of modernization and culture is the motive force of "culture self-consciousness". The birth and development of "culture self-consciousness" has undergone a general process from "culture soakage" and "culture gain" to "culture comparison" and "culture reflection", at last to the "culture self-consciousness". The forth chapter discussed the "culture self-consciousness" in the construction of culture.
