Abstract:
Value stance and thinking mode are two fundamental dimensions that unify people's understanding of the world and guide their own practical activities. The two are closely related and inseparable. Among them, the value standpoint is the starting point and belongs to the category of value theory; The way of thinking is a pathway and method, belonging to the category of epistemology. Marx stood at the height of the principle of complete reconciliation between the contradiction between the "individual" and the "community", pointing out that the value goal of "the liberation of all mankind" has inherent consistency with the value position of the "proletariat". In addition, Marx completely changed the previous way of thinking in which philosophy sought "absolute truth" in the pure "speculative field", established the "priority of practice over theory", emphasized starting from "reality" and discovering and ultimately realizing the "new world" through "criticism" and "transformation" of the "old world" through "realistic means". All of this highlights the comparative advantage of Marxism in terms of values and ways of thinking. The "individual" and "self-awareness" are constantly growing, while the truly "atomized" "individual" has not yet formed, which is the social reality in China today. In this way, China can only take the path of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics of "advanced political party driven development". On the one hand, it adheres to the value position of "people's subjectivity"; On the other hand, it adheres to the thinking mode of "practice priority", which is the inheritance and development of Marxist values and thinking mode in contemporary China.
