A pluralistic concept of human rights and the ideal of a community of shared future for all mankind overlap on certain values and interests, as well as power and cultural attributes. It means that a pluralistic approach to human rights is indispensable to the establishment of a community of shared future for all mankind. Meanwhile, this new view of human rights embodies mutual respect and support for the inherent inevitability among different countries, shared responsibility, and pursuit of common development.展开更多

We analyze the historical formation, evolutionary logic, pluralistic framework, underlying reasons, and inner grounds of present day China＇s complex values in a multi-dimensional context that involves history and the present as well as China and the world, looking at the synchronous coexistence in modern China of diachronic conflicts that unfolded over several hundred years in the course of Western modernization. Our contention is that present day China＇s complex value reality and value concepts should be approached by using complex ideas and techniques. In the dynamic process of integrating manifold clues and multiple changes, we will vigorously safeguard ＂Chinese interests,＂ reasonably fulfill ＂China＇s responsibilities,＂ consciously seek a ＂Chinese path,＂ soberly respond to ＂expectations of China,＂ consciously break down ＂China＇s problems＂ and appropriately demonstrate ＂China＇s confidence,＂ in order to better perform the positive function of philosophy and social sciences in interpreting and guiding the development of society.展开更多
