Artificial materialism is the world view and methodology of the chinese communist party. At the present time, in the light of the country's practical and contemporary conditions, learning and applying dialectical, materialistic worldviews and methodology, learning the fundamentals of the mastery of materialist forensics, constantly enhancing the capacity of the dialectical thinking and the ability to manage complex situations and deal with complex issues。
The law of material evidence, which insists on the organic harmonization of materialism and dialectics, is the science of studying the most general patterns of natural, human society and intellectual development, at the heart of which is uniform law, and its fundamental approach is based on contradictory analysis of opposing uniform laws。
The ambivalence analysis method is a concrete application of marxist worldviews and methodology, based mainly on the four fundamental principles of marxism concerning world relations and development: that is, the principle of the dialectical relationship between the universality and the specificity of the contradictions, the theory of the homogeneity and the struggle, the theory of the dialectical relationship between internal and external conflicts, and between the main and non-principal contradictions and the main aspects of the contradictions。
Adherence to contradictory analytical methods necessarily requires adherence to dialectical thinking. The ambivalence analysis recognizes the objectivity and universality of the contradiction, seeing things as a complex ambivalence rather than as a “mixed piece of iron”; it is not right or wrong to follow the dialectic logic of “yes and no and no” as opposed to the logic of “no and no”。
The most important world view and methodology of dialectic thinking is based on the recognition of the ubiquitous and eternal development of everything in the world and of the contradictory unity of everything in the world, namely, the opposing view of unity. Controversial thinking refers primarily to conflicting thinking, which, in addition to condensing and condensing, analysing and synthesizing, abstracting and specific, logical and historical unity of thinking, can be summarized in the following three types of thinking, in terms of both the general character and the substance and the core of material-corroborative law。
One is thinking based on a universal perspective of the linkages between things, which is mainly systematic, comprehensive and holistic. Systemic thinking needs to be strengthened to integrate local reform development, inter-district policies, cross-cutting construction and resource elements. The optimal system function and overall effect can be achieved by integrating the interlinked organic whole. Comprehensive thinking must be balanced, avoiding one-sided awareness and decision-making and maximizing the protection of interests, roles and motivations. The secretary-general of xi has repeatedly stressed that planning for reform and development must be broad-based, assertive and focused. It is important to reflect on and study both the domestic and the international levels, the party and the state, and to deepen reform in a comprehensive manner。
The second is thinking based on the idea of the eternal development of things, primarily historical, forward-looking, strategic and innovative thinking. Historic thinking refers to respect for history, based on history, not only on history and its conclusions, but also on historical analysis and reflection of reality, from which the views or conclusions of the rule are drawn. The secretary-general, xi jinping, succinctly and vividly pointed out that “history is the best textbook” and that in the history of learning it is “to see successes and failures, to recognize successes and to be informed”. Forward thinking is a forward-looking thinking that is good at predicting future trends or possibilities and avoiding harm by taking appropriate measures in advance. Strategic thinking is a way of thinking with a holistic and long-term perspective that captures the overall trends and directions of things. General secretary xi emphasized “the need for a world vision and strategic thinking” and “the need for a strategic vision to look at the present era and see the present china”. Innovative thinking requires continuous innovation in theory and practice, in response to the needs and possibilities of reality and future development, beyond traditional perceptions or habits. General secretary xi emphasized that innovation was development, innovation was the future and that innovation must be placed at the heart of national development。
Third, thinking is based on conflicting and uniform patterns, with the idea of “two-point” thinking and “coordination” “sharing”. “two points”, i. E. A split analysis of the matter or problem. The secretary-general, xi jinping, has always emphasized the importance of maintaining the “two points” and dichotomy in the restructuring of the chinese economy, both on the positive and the negative side, and on the international and domestic situation, emphasizing that “it is important to see both achievements and opportunities, but also weaknesses, difficulties and challenges, as well as the risks posed to us by changing circumstances”. The so-called “coordination” is based on the reality of irreconcilability and seeks, through realistic exploration and reflection based on practice, measures, paths and approaches to resolving it in order to achieve coordination between interests and their subjects. At present, the main contradictions in our society have translated into a contradiction between the growing needs of the people for a better life and the uneven development. “coordination”, emphasized by general secretary xi, “as a means as well as a goal for development, and as a criterion and yardstick for evaluating development, is the unity of the two points and priorities of development, the unity of the balance and imbalance of development, and the unity of the foundations and potential of development”. The concept of “shared” — that is, following the statement of secretary-general xi — that “the development we seek is for the benefit of the people, and the wealth we seek is for the people as a whole — seeks to share development and achieve common wealth in accordance with the principle of not leaving a people, region or even individuals behind. It is all the more important today to advance common wealth。
The study and application of material evidence-based methods is counterproductive. Insistence on dialectics, based primarily on the law on material evidence, is a specific application of the law on material evidence and must also be opposed to physical education. The secretary-general, xi jinping, has vividly criticized the “most energy-saving” of schooling, “because it can be said that it does not need to be based on objective practicality and is not subject to objective physical scrutiny”. “any subjective, formalist, mechanical, dogmatic, empirical view of schooling is a form of thought” and is therefore opposed or discouraged。
As a world view or method of thinking, there are many mistakes in schooling. First, it negates the universal connection of the world and sees everything in the world as isolated and unrelated. At present, it is important to note that the exercise of the superiority of china's socialist system, which is unique to china, is not self-fulfilled or can be achieved by “waiting”, requires a concerted effort by all sectors of the country, by all sides and by all the people of the country; it should also be noted that its exercise is constrained by the foreign environment and may even encounter major obstacles. Therefore, school must be opposed and no problems must be simply referred to the socialist system itself。
Secondly, to deny the eternal development of the world and to interpret everything in the world as static or absolutely static. At the present time, we would like to pay particular attention to preventing what the secretary-general xi has called “unseen or unwilling to acknowledge new changes, developments, new issues”, and to keep everything on track, to follow the “old-fashioned” approach, to move from a practical development perspective, to an innovative theory and, under his guidance, to a new and higher level of practice。
And, again, to deny the inherent contradictions of things, to see them as “steals” and to resort to external forces for their development. At the present time, care must be taken to prevent the reclusion of achievements, to see the gaps or problems that still exist, so that they may be ignored or not changed; to prevent difficulties or problems from being faced, to find reasons from external conditions, to find ways to explain them, to ignore the underlying causes, and to build momentum within。
Finally, it negates the comprehensiveness of what actually exists, exaggerating in one way or another the attributes or characteristics of one aspect of something, or even its absoluteization. As lenin said, to truly understand things, it is necessary to grasp, study and clarify all its aspects, all its connections and “intermediaries”, “the requirement of comprehensiveness will enable us to prevent mistakes and rigidities”. At this time, we would like to pay particular attention to preventing the one-sided exaggeration of the problems arising in the construction of reform, openness and socialism, overcoming pessimism and building the confidence that should prevail, as well as to preventing the one-sided understanding of the respect of the interests of individuals in the reform and the practical establishment of the goals and pursuits of common prosperity。
