无论是中国还是其他国家,都在不同的历史背景下建立了不同的社会体制,这为研究当代中国社会体制积累了丰富的经验。中外思想家在各自的历史条件下,对社会体制的理论和逻辑进行过深入探索,得出了很多重要结论。基于对历史和逻辑的认识,文章提出,社会体制的形成是一个历史过程,因此需要从比较长的时间来观察其变化,尽管一些突变和历史事件会对现行社会体制产生影响,但是社会体制根植于长期的历史发展之中,这其中包括人们对一些根本问题的认识也需要一个由浅到深的过程。研究当代中国的社会体制,只有与其他国家或地区开展比较研究才能深入下去。 Both China and other countries have established different social systems under different historical backgrounds. This has accumulated rich experience in the study of contemporary Chinese social system. Under their own historical conditions, Chinese and foreign thinkers have conducted in-depth exploration of the theory and logic of social system and come to many important conclusions. Based on the understanding of history and logic, the article proposes that the formation of the social system is a historical process and therefore requires a relatively long period of time to observe its changes. Although some sudden changes and historical events may have an impact on the existing social system, In the long history of development, this includes people’s understanding of some fundamental issues also need a shallow to deep process. Studying the social system in contemporary China can only go deeper if we conduct comparative studies with other countries or regions.
