On Marx And Engels’ Programme For The Reinvention Of Modernity And Its Translation In China

Modernity and modernization are twins.Modernization is the process of quantitative change in the formation of modernity,and modernity is the qualitative regulation of modernization.The breadth of modernity makes it possible for different countries and different civilizations to create different forms of modern civilization.But whether this creation can be realized depends on whether it can break through the shackles of tradition in theory,and whether it can create a new path of modernization in practice.Marx and Engels’ attitude towards modernity can be characterized as "dialectical negation".They affirmed the positive role of modernity,but also tried to avoid the negative aspects of modernity and rebuild modernity.The sublation of enlightenment rationality by Marx and Engels is the disenchantment of modernity,and the critique of capital logic grasps the root cause of modernity.In Marx and Engels’ modernity reshaping plan,replacing capital logic with labor logic is the fundamental path to reshape modernity;the proletariat is the practical subject of this plan;breaking through the paradox of fetishism is the theoretical premise of breaking through capital logic;Krafting Canyon is a feasible plan for backward countries to directly construct modernity.As the theoretical inheritor of Marx and Engels,China has inherited and developed Marxism in the process of constructing modernity,injecting new vitality into Marx and Engels’ modernity plan.In this sense,China adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism,so China’s practice of Marx and Engels’ modernity reshaping plan is the same concept as the Chinese-style modernization road,which has a clear direction of modernity and conforms to the general characteristics of modernity And laws,and because of the differences between the original motivation and the value standpoint embodied in the development,it has unique Chinese characteristics.In the practice of China’s political construction and economic construction,China has always followed the direction of replacing the capital logic of Western modernization with human-oriented logic.Through continuous exploration of modernity,China has gradually abandoned the logic of capital shrouded in fetishism on the basis of negating classical modernity and traditional socialist modernity plans,and finally opened up a new form of human civilization,marking a new civilization coordinate for modernity with practice.
