摘要:

马克思在《1844年经济学哲学手稿》中对“历史之谜”进行了典范阐释,其所揭示的矛盾关系与内在精神实质具有普遍性意义。人类史本质上是文明史,历史之谜所揭示的矛盾与斗争关系,恰恰构成一种本质性的文明分析范式——历史之谜本质上也是文明之谜。对历史之谜自觉与不自觉的解答事实上形成了不同的文明形态。当代人类文明的困境不过是历史之谜的当代侧显。中国式现代化及其所创造的人类文明新形态,不仅是中华民族伟大复兴的光明大道,也是破解当代人类文明困境的成功探索,是历史之谜的当代解答。在解答“世界怎么了,我们怎么办”的时代课题过程中,自觉激活和创造性运用马克思历史之谜的思想,不仅可以为我们推进中国式现代化、丰富和发展人类文明新形态提供重要的学理、道理、哲理支撑,而且能为我们回应挑战、开创新局的文明实践提供总体性启发。

Abstract:

In Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, Marx provided an exemplary interpretation of the “riddle of history”, revealing contradictory relationships and an intrinsic spiritual essence of universal significance. Human history is fundamentally the history of civilization, and the contradictions and struggles inherent in the “riddle of history” constitute an essential civilizational analytical paradigm. Chinese path to modernization and the new form of human civilization it has created represent not only a bright path toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation but also a successful exploration in addressing the predicaments of modern human civilization, offering a contemporary solution to the “riddle of history”. Consciously revitalizing and creatively applying Marx’s insights into the “riddle of history” can provide crucial theoretical, logical, and philosophical foundations for advancing Chinese path to modernization, enriching and developing the new form of human civilization. Moreover, it offers holistic inspiration for our great practical endeavors to respond to challenges and forge new horizons.
