论人类文明的演变与演替

本文从整体论视角出发,从讨论文明的概念和表现入手,对"文明"和"社会"的定义进行了新界定。文明是指人群在特定历史时期的生存方式以及居主导地位的主流价值观。文明的实质是人类(社会)对人与自然关系的看法和对待,或者说是认识和行为。在此基础上分析了人类文明演变的历程和今后的走向,剖析了人类的生存方式(人类的生活方式、人类的生产方式和人群的组织方式)在原始文明阶段、农业文明阶段、工业文明阶段的不同样式,提出了当今人类正处于由工业文明时代向新的环境文明时代转折的过渡阶段的论断。正确认识人类文明演变和演替的规律对任何一个国家和民族来说都是至关重要的。要实现中华民族的伟大复兴,就必须清楚地认识到当今人类所处时代的特点,特别是要对当今人类文明的演变与演替有一个正确的认识和把握。
