THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ETHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIALISM IN THE CONTEXT OF DEEPENING REFORMS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
From the perspective of Marxist ethics, the deepening of reforms in theory and practice is of great significance for understanding the “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reforms and Promoting Chinese Modernization” (hereinafter “Resolution”). It is important from both theoretical and practical points of view and enhances the value perception of the reform process. The “Resolution” issuers respect and leverage the law of social contradictions, fully implementing economic determinism in all aspects of the theory and practice of reforms further deepening (guiding ideas, goals, specific measures). Economic determinism also determines the overall methodological approach to the essence of reforms. Adhering to a problem-solving approach and the principle of prioritizing the people, the “Resolution” issuers unveil the collective “original intention” of the Party and thus the “Resolution” illustrates the essence of socialist ethics. The moral values of the reforms are manifested through the demonstration of the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the pursuit of social justice, and measures aimed at its realization. By adhering to economic determinism, the ethical principles of socialism, and the moral values of socialist ethics, the “Resolution” issuers provide a theoretical foundation for understanding the spirit of further reforms.
