Consciousness And Criticism:Construction On Sociological Theory With Chinese Manner

The development of Chinese sociology must be based on the localization, geared to internationalization, and step into globalization, which is the inevitable trend of both the building of sociology and academic development. The theme of the localization of Chinese sociology expands around the construction of sociology with Chinese characteristics and Chinese manner. Success of the localization of Chinese sociology depends on the level and extent of the construction of sociological theory with Chinese manner. School of social operation is the appellation of the sociological theory and research methods conceived and advocated more than30years by Professor Zheng Hangsheng of Renmin University of China and the academic community led by Zheng. The school, Professor Zheng Hangsheng as academic leader, has being committed to active exploration, development and deepening of the sociological theory with Chinese manner more than30years, and has got outstanding achievements, became the "first clearly targeted localized system of sociological theory " since the reconstruction of Chinese sociology. The research on the school of social operation "Five Theories" which is the basic theory with local characteristics is not only the manifestation of Chinese Sociological theoretical self-consciousness, but also the continued development of the theoretical self-consciousness mind, is the necessity not only of the dialogue with the contemporary world sociological theory, but also of the enrichment and expansion of Chinese theoretical sociology. The research on the construction of sociological theory with Chinese manner will consolidate the foundation for the academic discourse system of Chinese sociology and contribute to the academic discourse system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics.The development of sociological theory with Chinese manner is rooted in Chinese long history and profound culture and among the lively local social practice, has a rich cultural heritage and historical thickness, also reached the proper actual height. It is the academic mission and social responsibility for Chinese sociology integrating into the world sociological pattern to face squarely and dig the deep resources of Chinese long history and profound traditional culture, to learn the thought resources from integration and exchange of Chinese and western sociological thought, to dock the fact that current modern social transformation, and to promote local newborn sociological theory of China. The development of sociology is the result of mutual shaping and isomorphic symbiosis of multivariate social acting subjects including sociological scholars, academic sociology, sociological schools and sociological academia on the historical stage of structural changes in the Chinese social practice. The construction of sociological theory with Chinese manner is the theoretical contribution of Mr. Zheng Hangsheng and his headlining school of social operation, who were dedicated to " contributing to sociological theory with Chinese characteristics and deepening the understanding of the Chinese society during the transformation", rooted in hard and tortuous history of Chinese society and current magnificent reform practice, after the reconstruction of Chinese sociology. Sociological theory with Chinese characteristics not only is a landmark theory of the localization of sociology, but also further promotes the localization of Chinese sociology. To promote the development and prosperity of sociological theory with Chinese characteristics and Chinese manner becomes an inherent requirement and basic sociological topic of the localization of sociology.The construction of sociological theory with Chinese manner is an ongoing process of theoretic innovation of "criticism in self-consciousness" and "self-consciousness in criticism ". Theoretical criticism is an important path of theoretical self-consciousness, and theoretical criticism is the ultimate orientation of theoretical self-consciousness. It is difficult establish the foundations of the theoretical transcendent if there is no critical self-consciousness, and criticism without self-consciousness may end in complaints and superficiality. Only when we reflect critically in constant self-consciousness can we achieve the theoretical self-consciousness in critical reflection. The interaction between theory and the era establishes the foundations of sociological theory with Chinese manner. The self-renewal and development of sociological theory with Chinese manner contributes to the logic programming of theoretical self-consciousness. Sociological theory with Chinese manner begins to engender, grow and mature in academic dialogue with the western sociology. The criticism of sociological theory with Chinese manner, which is aimed at construction not real critique, is a "constructive critical reflection". We have reconstructed the relationship between the individual and society, and solved the collision of tradition and modernity, and demonstrated the traditional inventions and modern growth, and ended the disagreement between generalized transformation theory and narrow transformation theory, and deeply thought the reality of the contemporary social transformation of China, and directly pointed to the paradox of modernity, and explored the possibility of vicissitude from old modernity to new modernity through constructive critical reflection. We should emphasize "indomitable spirit" and "critical reflection" in sociological research, and resolve the value myth of sociological research, and pursue the sociological academic discourse power, and create a sociological academic discourse system with Chinese characteristics and Chinese manner through constructive critical reflection.Sociological theory with Chinese manner constructed a set of interpretation paradigm. Theory of social operation, outstanding in the "Five Theories", has become the consistent theoretical spindle of social development, laid the theoretical foundation of sociological theory with Chinese characteristics, and become the interdisciplinary "operation" paradigm. Theory of social transformation has become the most powerful paradigm to interpret the local modern pulse and academic tool through academia, politics and even civil society. Theory of localization of discipline has constructed a localized knowledge foundation, and constructed and surpassed the local characteristics of Chinese sociology. Theory of society mutual-construction has become the sociology academic discourse of contemporary relations between individual and society with the strongest Chinese manner. We have entered the "society mutual-construction" era. Theory of practice structure has returned to the classical social domain."Sociological theory of practice structure and its two-dimension scope and two-side analysis" has bridged the rift between the universality and particularity, and highlighted the mutual construction of theory and practice.The construction of sociological theory with Chinese manner has progressively realized theoretical self-consciousness, promoted the revolution of Chinese sociological concept and the revolutionary concept, and also contributed to the social revolution in Chinese rapid transformation, in continuous interaction with the development of Chinese social practice and constant self-reflection and criticism. The paradigm shift towards juxtaposition of subjects and objects has achieved the real "Fusion of Horizons" between different research subject and even between research subjects and objects. The discourse shift from appearance to presence of sociological theory with Chinese manner has made the most powerful answer to the proposition put forward by the era about social reality and the sociology development of China. Theory returns to practice, but the actions always point to the future. The construction of sociological theory with Chinese manner has achieved the self-consciousness and self-confidence of theory itself, and has possessed its own academic discourse. School of social operation that had a distinctive theoretical system put its foundation has also shifted from self-consciousness to self-strengthening, constantly educates posterity and fused casts new theories. The construction of sociological academic discourse system with Chinese characteristics and Chinese manner remains an unfinished topic.
