From 1980s, constructing the form of Marxist philosophy that reflects the theme and spirit of the times has become the main discourse of Chinese philosophy community. In the field of vision of contemporary China, peace and development have become the theme and spirit of the times, building a socialism with Chinese characteristics has become the main task of contemporary China, building harmonious socialist society in contemporary China has become the dominant value, so Harmonious philosophy should be the contemporary Marxist philosophy form of China.At present, the research of harmonious philosophy has reaped rich fruits, but there is much confusin, even the wrong concept in it. For example, some people think that harmonious philosophy only exist in Chinese traditional philosophy and neither Western philosophy nor Marxist philosophy has harmonious philosophy mind. Some people think that there is a little harmonious mind in Marxist philosophy and Marxist philosophy has no harmonious philosophical form. On the other hand, the research of harmonious philosophy is often only carried in Chinese traditional philosophy, or Western philosophy, or Marxist philosophy. They are lack of communication and integration. It impedes the further research into harmonious philosophy.In order to build the system of harmonious philosophy and to give the philosophical basis of constructing harmonious socialist society, the author decides to accept the task of building the system of harmonious philosophy. Although this task is very difficult, according to the research of theory and the needs of practice, it is urgent that philosophy scholars should accomplish this task,.The overall strategy of the article is carried out in two ways. First, it proves that the guiding principles cause the change of the forms of philosophy and on the basis Marxist harmonious philosophy has been formed inevitably. Second, it tries to construct Marxist harmonious philosophical system. This article is composed of three parts, i.e. the introduction, the text and the conclusion. The introduction makes description on the meanings, actuality of the study, study path, study focus and study methods.The text is divided into the Part I and Part II. Part I is The Spirit of Times and Marxist Harmonious philosophy. The article clearly defines the concept of philosophical form, discusses the basic law of the reform of philosophical form, proves that the theme of the times decides the guilding principles of philosophical system, describes that the guilding principles decides the nature and outlook of philosophical system. On the contemporary patterns of Marxist philosophy, the themes of today's times are peace and development, which proves that the guilding principle of contemporary Marxist philosophy is harmony and harmonious philosophy is Marxist philosophical pattern of today's times. The article believes that according to the themes of peace and development, struggling philosophy should turn into harmonious philosophy. In a word, Practice Materialism, coming to Marx, Subject philosophy, humane philosophy and practice living philosophy have promoted the research of the patterns of Marxist philosophy, but coming to reflecting the spirit of the times, they can't compare with harmonious philosophy.Part II Constructing Marxist Harmonious Philosophy. Constructing Marxist philosophy should learn from human civilization, especially Chinese traditional cultural positive results. The article summed up the basic idea of Chinese traditional harmonious philosophy. It includes the essence of the diffrence of harmony, the multi-force concept of power of harmony, the value of harmony and the harmonious dialectics of hatred. The article thinks that it is the political philosophical framework of Chinese traditional harmonious philosophy, which is the unity of realization of ontology, epistemology and moral theory. There are many dialectical methods including dual-use in enforcement in Chinese traditional harmonious philosophy. But because of the wrong of the absolutization of quantitativeness, struggling philosophy should add to Chinese traditional harmonious philosophy. The article thinks that about Chinese traditional harmonious philosophy, Marxist harmonious philosophy should not only promote its contemporary value but also achieve its transformation and innovation. Second, the article combines the harmonious idea in the ancient Greek philosophy, modern Western philosophy and contemporary Western philosophy, in which science and humanism are the main representative. The article believes that Western philosophical methodology and the methodology of Chinese traditional harmonious philosophy are complementary and there is much useful thinking about harmonious society in Western philosophy.In Chapter VI Harmonious Dialectics: Harmonious Philosophy's reflecting about Materialist dialectics. The article states that revolutionary dialectics is the premise of harmonious dialectics and it has become the focus of materialist dialectics, which has been completed by Lenin and Mao Zedong. Because peace and development have become the theme and the spirit of the times, as the historical conversion of the focus of revolutionary dialectics, harmonious dialectics not only enriches the three basic laws of materialist dialectics but also constructs the harmonious way of thinking.In Chapter VIT Harmonious Philosophy: Contemporary Interpretation of Historical Materialism. On the basis of absorbing the value of anthropocentrism, the article constructs the harmonious picture between human beings and the nature. The author thinks that the theory about socialist social contradictions is the useful basis of harmonious philosophy in socialism with Chinese characteristics. It includes that the basic contradictions in socialist society are still between the productive forces and production relations, between the economic base and superstructure of the society. It is different from the confrontational nature of class social basic contradictions, the basic contradictions in socialist society are non-confrontational and can be solved by the socialist system. The principal contradiction in socialist society is between the people's growing material and cultural life needs and the backward social production. In the socialist society, there are still struggle contradictions and internal contradictions among the people, but it is dominated by the internal contradictions among the people. The article thinks that the scientific concept of development is the logo of the deepening of socialist construction methodology and it has become the core content of harmonious philosophy in contemporary China. In scientific concept of development, its first prerequisite is the development, the core is people-oriented, the basic requirements is comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable, the fundamental approach is holistic. The author believes that because peace and development have become the themes of the times, building a harmonious world not only can reflect the common aspiration of the peoples of the world but also can exit with the possibility of a reality.On the basis of constructing harmonious philosophical system, the author explores some micro-problems innovatively. The article analyses the nature, properties and functions of materialist dialectics in harmonious philosophy. It is believed that the theoretical focus of Materialist dialectics has been changed in harmonious dialectics, but it can not ignore the comprehensity of materialist dialectics. On the relations between harmonious thinking way and metaphysical thinking way, the author criticizes the error of metaphysical way of thinking, but affirms some reasonable factors in the metaphysical way of thinking, harmonious thinking way can not be equivalent to metaphysical thinking way.The conclusion briefly sums up the content of this article, reflects the insufficiencyof the study and looks into the future of the research.In brief, as the Marxist philosophical form in contemporary China, constructing harmonious philosophical system is of great significance and difficulty to Marxist philosophy. As the initial attempts to construct harmonious philosophical system, the article tries to expand in a number of ways in order to give useful lessons about the further exploration on this issue.
