The"evolution"is the important category originally in biology. However, as the understanding of the social evolution problems has been reached further and further. The"evolution"has been used in human society by degrees, thus playing an important role in explaining and anatomizing the phenomenon of the human society. The"evolution"has been transcend the biological significance, and entered into the horizon of"society". The problem of social evolution not only has attracted much academic interest in the field of sociology, but also has caused a deep discussion in the area of philosophy, thus becoming one of the most important problems of social philosophy in the recent years. Nevertheless, traditional substantive thinking restricts the further development and perfection of the social evolution theory. This requires us to transform thinking pattern, and use the dynamic process thought instead of rigid substantive thinking, in order to break through the developmental bottleneck of the social evolution theory, and also realize the deepening of the social evolution theory and the progress of the human society.The process ontology is that of taking the flowing and progressive"process"as the origin of the world. In the theory of the process ontology, the process thinking is applied to the study of ontology, which breaks the restraint of the traditional philosophical thinking to the ontology, and carries on the profound explanation and the critique to the traditional ontology. The social evolution is a continuously developmental and dynamic process from low class to high class of the progress of the human society, which includes the progress of the social macrostructure system, the replacement of the social formation and the enhancing of the degree of freedom by people. That is the survey and analysis on the process ontology to the essence of social evolution. Taking the process ontology as the research angle of view to analyse the problems of social evolution, it has promoted the development of ontology itself, at the same time, it has poured new vitality into the development of the social evolution theory.This article takes the process thinking as the basic point, according to the analysis of the process thinking, it establishes the noumenal position of"process". Furthermore, it takes the process ontology as the research angle to analyse the problems of social evolution, attempting to understand the process-oriented characteristics of social evolution in essence, and to completely get rid off the durance and binding of the mechanical substantive thinking to the social evolution theory, then to improve the academic depth of the social evolution problems. In the meantime, according to analysing the process-oriented characteristics of the social evolution systematically, this article epurates the dynamic factors of social evolution from the brand-new angle, in order to provide the useful support for the healthy and orderly development of the human society. Finally, this article takes the constructing harmonious society as the stay point, according to discussing on the standard of social evolution, sees clearly the conjunction spot between social evolution and harmonious society, and then obtains the feasibility and inevitability of constructing harmonious society, in order to enrich the intension and extension of the social evolution theory, and also realize the development and sublimation of the social evolution theory. |
