China has a long history and splendid national culture. In the thousands years development, there had become a peculiar culture spirits of China. To the end of the 20th century, China commenced modernization, the conteraction of the traditional culture pattern has been exposed. But the socialist modernization needs spiritual prop from philosophy, so there is of momentous significance to reconstruct the new culture spirits during the Chinese modernization. In the first part of the thesis, I expounded the development of the culture pattern and the traditional culture pattern of China. In general, we can divide the history into three civilization formation, and there is three corresponding culture pattern, that is the culture pattern of primitive society, the culture pattern of traditional agricultural culture and the culture pattern of modern times industrial culture. The Chinese traditional culture pattern is a naturalism that keep foothold on the belief of "unity of world and man", it's a living pattern of ethics centralism that lay particular stress on human relations practice. It reflects the spontaneous and naturally spirit of typical agricultural culture. However, the Chinese culture developed until now, it has limitations not to be ignored, it can't agree with the spirit of science ,democracy and rationality of industrial culture, and it had been pounded by unrationalism when the rationalism cannot be constructed. So when Chinese socialist modernization is in progress, the traditional culture pattern cannot supply the spiritual prop to modern industrial culture, it brought more reaction to modernization. So the Chinese culture pattern's transformation put forward the schedule. In the second part of the thesis, I expounded the criticize of the West rationalism and the construction of the new rationalism. Then we may get some valuable enlightenment to reconstruct the Chinese culture spirits from it. The West traditional culture is a progress of the traditional rationality development. The industrial culture which the core is rationality brought an unprecedented achievement to human, but the rational culture pattern cannot let human live a happylife, the technology alienation and culture crisis brought all sorts of pressures to human. The man cannot get the self-ironclad-proof, but can realize the unprecedented great life value and significance of human spirit evolution during the culture conflict. As a result, many thinkers and theorists inquired and criticized into the problem. They focused the issue on the reconstruction of culture spirits, to supply means to the West rationalism reconstruction and enlighten the new culture spirits reconstruction of China. So China can use the experience of the West for reference, and also keep foothold on the Chinese traditional culture, combine the condition of China, construct the new culture spirits agree with the modernization. In the third part of the thesis, I expounded reconstruction course of the Chinese culture spirits. At first, I expounded the reconstruction course of the Chinese culture spirits in the 20th century. In the May 4th Movement, the clear-cut stand of "freedom ,science and democracy"was raised, the sphere of subject culture became awake, the new culture accomplished gradually. Those trend of thoughts were popular for a while and pounded the traditional culture, butthey didn't take root in China. In 1980's there had a far-reaching significant upsurge of reflect culture and continued to today. The humanity, alienation and humanitarianism became the discussion core, the human individuality value, human dignity, human liberation and the free and all-round development of man and so on became the important link in the Chinese culture reconstruction. To 1990's, China had accomplished the conscious culture philosophy sphere, discuss the most profound problem in the society transformation, that is transformation of the human living formation and culture pattern. This period, the Chinese learning sphere had a large numbers achievement of culture philosophy, and lay a foundation for the reconstruction of culture spirits. Then, I expounded how to reconstruct the new culture spirits in this part. China is short of rationality to prop up in modernizations construct. The rationality we'll construct is not the traditional metaphysics rationality that was criticized by the West, it is not actual. To be exact, the Chinese culture only lack scientific rationality, technological rationality, economic rationality. We'llconstruct new rationality, on the dialectical foundation, deepen the inner structure of traditional rationality, achieve the self-transformation of the traditional rationality. In the modernization construction, we also achieve the all-round development of man. The socialist market economic system's establishment and development became the only way and the powerful motive force of the all-round development of man. The socialist market economy produced material base for human to accomplish free and equal independent personality, produced the free space for human to raise performance, and made the human relations enriched and developed, and quicken the course of free development of man. Under the situation, the construction of Chinese culture spirits must achieve the all-round development of man. To construct new culture spirits, we must subservient to the unity of world and man of the cream of traditional culture spirits, establish scientific development idea, and construct a harmonious society. The modern industrial culture brought to human was not only progress of material, but also crisis of spirit, so the man became to reflect the...
