Vigorously carry forward the scientific spirit, attach great importance to and strive to develop science and technology, so that the construction of a harmonious society can obtain a strong material foundation. Scientific spirit originates from scientific activities that explore scientific truth and pursue technological innovation, and its first essence is to attach importance to science and technology. Science and technology is the primary productive force, which can be transformed into huge material wealth and lay a solid material foundation for building a harmonious society. Vigorously carrying forward the scientific spirit and constantly promoting the development of science and technology in the whole society can promote the continuous improvement of social productive forces, make a big cake of social material wealth, and provide sufficient material guarantee for people's production and life.
Only by vigorously carrying forward the scientific spirit and consciously following and applying objective laws can the construction of a harmonious society move forward in an efficient and orderly manner. From a scientific point of view, the development of everything in the world has its inherent objective laws, and human society is no exception. Society is a complex organism with people as the main body, nature as the environment and material production as the basis, which is composed of various elements such as productivity and production relations, economic base and superstructure, and these elements interact with each other according to certain laws. When the main body of social construction follows these laws, the whole society will present a harmonious state; When the subject of social construction violates these laws, it will lead to social disorder, intensified contradictions and even shocks and conflicts. In the process of building a harmonious society, we should deeply understand and grasp the realistic situation and objective laws of the interaction of productivity, production relations, economy, politics, culture, people, nature, society, class structure, urban-rural structure, regional structure, population structure, employment structure and social organization structure, so that all the laws that play a role in the construction of a harmonious society can be properly applied, and the construction of a harmonious society can embark on the track of efficient, orderly and healthy development.
Only by vigorously carrying forward the scientific spirit, keeping pace with the times and pioneering and innovating can the construction of a harmonious society always be full of vigor and vitality. Scientific truth is relative: things are always in the process of development and change, and human understanding of nature, society and human beings is also constantly developing and endless. This determines that the subjects engaged in scientific research must constantly explore new fields, reveal new laws and achieve new results according to the development and changes of objective conditions. From a specific historical stage, all fields, aspects and links of a harmonious society are internally unified, harmonious, orderly and full of vitality; However, with the development of the times, the factors that were once beneficial to social harmony may also turn into unfavorable factors, and the forces that once stimulated social vitality may also turn into obstacles that inhibit social vitality. If the main body of social construction does not have the scientific spirit of pioneering and innovating, can't observe these changes with the times, but sticks to outdated experience and dogma, then it will be difficult to effectively promote social harmony and maintain social vitality for a long time. Therefore, we must persist in emancipating our minds, seeking truth from facts, keeping pace with the times, and constantly solve various contradictions and problems that affect social harmony, so as to keep the building of a harmonious society full of vigor and vitality.
Humanistic spirit: the internal support of building a harmonious society
Humanistic spirit is to understand and grasp the existence, value and significance of human life and human dignity, including the pursuit of moral personality, ideals and beliefs, the desire for freedom, equality and justice, the thinking of life and death, faith, happiness and the meaning of existence, and the ultimate concern for human beings. The construction of a harmonious society is people-oriented, in order to realize people's own value. To build a harmonious socialist society, we should not only vigorously carry forward the scientific spirit, but also advocate and cultivate the humanistic spirit.
Advocating and cultivating humanistic spirit is conducive to guiding the construction of a harmonious society to develop healthily towards the correct goal. Always putting people first, safeguarding people's legitimate rights and interests, meeting people's reasonable needs and promoting people's all-round development are the essential connotations of humanistic spirit. Advocating and cultivating humanistic spirit will help human society gradually evolve to a more humane state and finally reach the ideal state of high harmony. It can be said that humanistic spirit is an important force to guide society from disharmony to harmony, and from harmony in the primary stage to harmony in the advanced stage. In the new century and new stage, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary put forward a people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable Scientific Outlook on Development, which highlighted the creativity, value and dignity of people as the main body of social construction. This is the innovation and development of Marxist humanistic spirit in the contemporary era and is conducive to guiding the construction of a harmonious society to develop healthily towards the correct humanistic goal.
Advocating and cultivating humanistic spirit is conducive to mobilizing people's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity in building a harmonious society. Respect, understand, care and care for people, and send humanistic care to every corner of society and radiate to all aspects of social life, so that people can fully feel the warmth of the socialist family and the happiness of living in it, and then consciously participate in the construction of a harmonious society. Respect for labor, knowledge, talents and creativity will not only give full play to the basic role of the working class and the broad masses of peasants, including intellectuals, but also encourage and support the positive contributions of new social strata and other strata, so that all those who can contribute to the construction of a harmonious society will have a sense of glory and pride as masters, form a social environment in which everyone wants to work, everyone can work and everyone can succeed, and give full play to all positive factors conducive to social harmony.
Advocating and cultivating humanistic spirit is conducive to forming a stable and United political situation in the whole society. The interpersonal relationship of mutual respect, mutual trust, equal treatment and harmonious coexistence is the product of humanistic spirit and an important condition for forming a stable and United political situation. At present, China's reform and development has entered a critical period, the relationship between social interests has become increasingly complex, and some deep-seated contradictions and problems in economic and social development have become increasingly prominent. In this case, if we neglect to create a humanistic environment of unity, mutual assistance, honesty, friendship, understanding and tolerance in the whole society, it may cause estrangement between social groups and affect social stability and harmony. Under the new situation, Party committees and governments at all levels should shoulder the heavy responsibility of advocating and cultivating humanistic spirit, strive to create a good social atmosphere of democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature, correctly reflect and take into account the interests of people in different regions, departments and aspects, so that all people can share the fruits of reform and development, and the whole society can form a stable and United political situation.
Adhere to the unity of scientific spirit and humanistic spirit
Scientific spirit and humanistic spirit play an important role in building a harmonious socialist society from different angles and aspects. In the construction of a harmonious society, we should not only see their differences, but also see their mutual penetration, mutual complement and mutual promotion, and consciously unify them.
Economic and social development must be subordinate to serving people's all-round development. Realizing comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development is an inevitable requirement for building a harmonious socialist society. To meet this requirement, we must establish and implement Scientific Outlook on Development, vigorously carry forward the scientific spirit, and consciously follow and apply objective laws. At the same time, in the process of promoting economic and social development, we must adhere to the people-oriented principle, constantly realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and let the fruits of reform and development benefit all the people. The scientific understanding and application of the state and law of social development should be integrated with the value judgment that embodies the humanistic spirit and realize the high unity of the regularity and purpose of social and historical development; Change the goal of social construction from one-sided pursuit of economic growth to people-oriented and promote comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development; Innovate scientific and technological values, so that the development and application of scientific and technological policies, scientific research work and scientific and technological achievements will change from simply pursuing economic benefits to paying attention to ecological and environmental benefits, while pursuing all-round social progress and all-round human development, and consider its impact on the long-term development of human society; Promote mutual learning and reference between natural science and humanities and social sciences, promote the development and prosperity of emerging and interdisciplinary disciplines, and cultivate new socialist people with harmonious physical and mental development.
The all-round progress of society and the all-round development of human beings must adhere to the scientific direction. The five important characteristics of a harmonious socialist society, namely, democracy and rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vigor, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature, involve the relationship between man's body and mind, man and society, and man and nature, which fully embodies the requirements of promoting social progress and man's all-round development and is an important embodiment of the humanistic spirit of building a harmonious society. Promoting the all-round progress of society and the all-round development of human beings is inseparable from the guidance of scientific theory for a moment, and we must adhere to the scientific direction. In the practice of building a harmonious society, we should deeply understand and grasp the objective laws of social and historical development, and take the objective inevitability of social and historical development as a reference to measure, correct and test the rationality of the humanistic goal of social development, so as to make it scientific and feasible; We should deeply understand the arduousness, complexity and long-term nature of realizing the humanistic goal of social development, proceed from the national conditions of contemporary China, strengthen the construction of socialist democratic politics, legal system and ideological and moral construction with scientific attitudes and methods, scientifically treat and solve the contradictions and problems in the process of building a harmonious society, and make the realization of the humanistic goal of social development a process of applying scientific ideas and methods; In the process of humanistic education, we should increase the content of scientific spirit, regard scientific spirit as a sharp weapon against feudal superstition, illegal cult activities and pseudoscience, and guide people to firmly establish a scientific world outlook, outlook on life and values.
The development and progress of human society is always inseparable from the joint efforts of scientific spirit and humanistic spirit. Building a harmonious socialist society is an important and arduous historical task. To promote the construction of a harmonious socialist society, we must adhere to both scientific spirit and humanistic spirit, and make them organically unified on the basis of practice.
Vigorously carry forward the scientific spirit, attach great importance to and strive to develop science and technology to promote the continuous improvement of productive forces, consciously follow and apply objective laws, and solve various contradictions and problems that affect social harmony with a developmental vision and thinking, which will help promote the construction of a harmonious society to be efficient, orderly and full of vitality.
Advocating and cultivating humanistic spirit, forming a social environment in which everyone wants to work, everyone can work and everyone can do things, is conducive to mobilizing all positive factors that are conducive to social harmony to the fullest extent and promoting social stability, unity and healthy development.
● In the process of building a harmonious socialist society, we should persist in carrying forward the scientific spirit and humanistic spirit at the same time, and achieve a high degree of unity of regularity and purpose of social and historical development.
