WhyItIsPossibletoConstructMarx’sPoliticalPhilosophyintheContextofDasKapital

GAO Guangxu

The thought of critique of political economy inDasKapitaland its manuscript is an important resource for constructing Marx’s political philosophy. Historical materialism emphasizes the approach of political philosophy to examining the nature of political life in material relations of production, which has been deepened and developed in the context of critique of political economy inDasKapitaland its manuscripts. The theme of political philosophy in which Marx’s critique of political economy seeks human freedom and emancipation in his critique of capital determines that the dual significance of both economic criticism and political criticism in critique of political economy should be fully grasped in contemporary construction of Marx’s political philosophy and the political philosophical implications of economic analysis inDasKapitalshould be thoroughly interpreted. The construction of a theory of Marx’s political philosophy in the context ofDasKapitalhas the significance of paradigm innovation in promoting contemporary studies of Marx’s political philosophy and also opens up a new theoretical space for the interpretation of contemporary value ofDasKapital.

CulturalContributionsintheHanEraofGreatUnity:FromthePerspectiveoftheDisseminationofConfucianism

LIU Dong

The greatest cultural contribution in the Han Era of Great Unity is shaping the cultural identity and cultural psychology of the Chinese nation, thus establishing a solid internal foundation for the Chinese territory of Great Unity and providing a powerful driving force for the sustainable development of modern China. The shaping of cultural identity and cultural psychology is accomplished by the promotion, dissemination and universal acceptance of Confucianism. The main achievement of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, so to speak, does not lie in the originality and appropriateness of the thought itself, but in the concrete dissemination and widespread implementation of the thought. The establishment of the Han nation two thousand years ago was just based on the decisive formation of Confucian cultural psychology, which was a significant event of world history. Until today, the rapid development of China’s society and economy still benefits from this kind of secular world, which is gradually impregnated by the value core of Confucianism, and in which there can be both “morality without religion” and “happiness without religion”. And in the future, on the basis of “secular Confucianism”, a higher level of “elite Confucianism” should be restored so that in the global context of collisions between China and the West, a political theory that conforms to both Confucianism and the world trend can be thought out from the perspective of broad interculturality so as to achieve the ideal of “great harmony under the world”.

CHANG Qingxin

As the key element of modernization drive, continuous improvement of the level of economic development is the main line throughout the process of China’s modernization drive. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has united and led the Chinese people in creating a path of Chinese-style modernization. In the process of leading the economic work, the CPC has continuously advanced theoretical innovation and institutional creation, refined the enriched the economic connotation of “people first”, formulated and implemented a sustainable economic development plan, effectively coordinated major economic relations and promoted China’s economic development up to a higher level and higher quality. The Chinese nation has made a great leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong. The modernization model that is forged with Chinese characteristics and can realize high quality development in this relay of achieving the goal of becoming a great modern socialist country has laid a solid foundation for the generation and in-depth promotion of the road to Chinese modernization. It has also provided a model for other developing countries to explore and establish economic development paths adapted to their own realities.

There is consistency in connotation and goal between corporate social responsibility and common prosperity of society. Enterprises should promote common prosperity of society in the process of fulfilling, managing and leading social responsibilities. Fulfilling corporate social responsibility is to have a mutual transformation between tangible assets and intangible assets based on the development of corporate sociality and by means of sociality of mission determination, sociality of resource integration, sociality of profit source and sociality of profit return so as to achieve a positive cycle of corporate sustainable development and common prosperity of society. Managing corporate social responsibility is not only to open up commercial value space but also to create social value space based on the unity of altruism and self-interest, the unity of public benefit and utilitarian nature, the unity of cost and capital and the unity of today’s development and tomorrow’s development so as to broaden the path to achieve common prosperity of society and raise the development level of common prosperity of society in the unity and mutual promotion between commercial value and social value. Leading super social responsibility is to make corporate spiritual wealth spill over widely into the society and play a leading role in promoting the spiritual prosperity of the whole society by means of material products, spiritual products and intergenerational inheritance and based on high-dimensional corporate culture, corporate craftsmanship, three corporate civilizations and rich connotation of social spirit. Both public and private enterprises should give full play to their respective advantages in the process of promoting common prosperity of society so as to realize the “common progress of the nation and the people”. All enterprises, whether public or private, should strike a balance between efficiency and fairness. They should “l(fā)et water go to raise fish” instead of “killing the goose that lays the golden egg”.

MotivationandHygiene:AResearchonthePathInfluencingRegionalFertilityLevelsinChina

LIN Boqiang/SU Tong

With the gradual decline of fertility levels in various regions of China, it is of great practical significance to explore a mechanism of fertility level differences among provinces and regions from the perspective of regional conditions. Inspired by Herzberg’s two-factor theory, an analysis of the path influencing fertility levels can be carried out from the dual perspective of “motivation” and “hygiene” while the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative analysis (fs-QCA) is adopted to help identify the coupling effect of different antecedents. As you can see from this research, low fertility cost is still the main soil of high fertility rate and a good social security system can promote the improvement of a regional fertility level. The problem of low fertility gradually emerging in China is essentially an exposure of major social contradictions in terms of population and fertility. In addition to direct fertility cost, opportunity cost plays a key role in residents’ childbearing decisions. Hence, to solve the fertility problem facing China, we must always grasp and solve the fundamental social contradictions facing China and improve the income level of residents so as to make up for the negative impact of rising birth cost caused by economic development. At the same time, we should strive to solve the problem of income distribution, build an adequate and sound social security system and actively guide the social fertility atmosphere. When formulating specific fertility guidance policies, we must improve regional policies according to local conditions on the premise of ensuring unified national planning.

SHE Xueqiong/LONG Denggao

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the management system for Mulberry Garden Dikes (Sanyuanwei) project had gradually been improved after several changes taking place. By following the research path of organizational history and applying the theoretical perspective of the interaction between institution and collective identity, we can reconstruct the evolution process of management system for Mulberry Garden Dikes project in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The evolution of management system for Mulberry Garden Dikes project is a process of interactive advancement with the formation of collective identity of 14pu(villages) within this enclosed area. It eventually evolved into a stable institutional system integrating official regulations, folk norms and cultural traditions. The 14 villages, which are now administered by counties of Nanhai and Shunde, also formed a collective identity labeled as “Sangyuanwei”. As institutional entrepreneurs, the gentry within the project area were promoters for the realization of this process. Thus, we canhave a new theoretical explanation of the evolution of the management system for Mulberry Garden Dikesproject in Ming and Qing Dynasties and reveal a mode of interaction between institution and collective identity.
