Reflections on the theory of contradiction
After reading Mao Zedong's On Contradiction, although I don't know much about philosophy, this book can still bring me a lot of knowledge and make me think for a long time. Mainly put forward two points of my reading experience. First, it is about the reasons for the development of things. Speaking of contradiction theory, it is often compared with metaphysics.
"The fundamental reason for the development of things is not outside things, but inside things. This is the contradiction within things." This sentence touches on the question I have thought about before. In the past, when talking about the cause of things, I always paid attention to the influence of external environment. Although I haven't systematically thought about why, this way of thinking has been rooted in my mind for a long time. On this day, I read some information different from my thoughts, which made me stop and think carefully. Indeed, Marxist philosophy explains the most fundamental reason.
Only when internal contradictions dominate can external factors play a role.
A popular saying, "flies don't bite seamless eggs", we have long understood this truth in our lives. And there is nothing wrong with the way I used to think about the external environmental impact. External cause is the condition of change. With different conditions, the same thing may develop in different directions. If two middle school students with similar potential, one enters a first-class university and the other works in a restaurant, their future will be completely different, relative but not absolute, because the environment has a huge impact on people. This is why we attach so much importance to the quality of schools. We expect the school to bring us a good environment as the external cause of our success. At the same time, we must not forget that the key to success lies in ourselves.
If you don't cherish the precious resources of the school, let your youth spend time playing games, and can't overcome the contradiction between pleasure and study, then the future development direction will be gloomy. Second, we should pay attention to the stage of development of things. When looking at the problems of various countries and societies, we should analyze them scientifically and calmly. Nowadays, many people on the Internet express their dissatisfaction with some systems and publish some cynical posts. In my opinion, they idealize the world too much and don't tolerate any defects of the country. China is still a developing country, and even the United States, the world hegemon, is not perfect. How does China satisfy everyone's wishes? The current contradiction in China is the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and the backward productive forces.
As citizens, we should face up to the current shortcomings, not criticize and doubt the country and the government. As citizens, we should help solve social problems with our heart and have confidence in the government, instead of passively criticizing and tolerating corruption.
We should believe that China is developing in a better and better direction. 1949 since the founding of new China, although we have made mistakes and taken detours, the general direction has not changed. National development cannot cover everything, and there will always be parts that develop first and then develop. As at present, our main task is to ensure economic development and employment, and then education, medical care and so on. This is to grasp the main contradiction at this stage and give consideration to the secondary contradictions. After China has a solid economic foundation, I believe the government will pay more attention to medical care and other aspects, so that China will become a country with a relatively complete system. So, don't be impatient, have confidence.
Reflections on the theory of contradiction
I remember when I was in high school, I read the theory of contradiction in Marxist philosophy, and then I read Chairman Mao's Theory of Contradiction. When I was a beginner, I thought that contradiction was the contradiction of "attacking children with spears" in our daily life. Later, it was gradually discovered that contradictory information was richer and more instructive.
Philosophically speaking, the contradictory and unified relationship contained in things themselves is called contradiction. In other words, contradiction is the unity of opposites. Among them, "opposition" refers to the nature and trend of mutual exclusion and separation between the two sides of the contradiction, also known as "struggle" "Unity" refers to the nature and trend of mutual attraction and contact between contradictory parties, also called "identity".
Contradictions exist in everything, and contradictions run through the development process of everything. Contradictions are universal and objective, are inherent in everything, and are independent of human subjective will. However, in our life, many people avoid and deny contradictions, and can't find scientific methods to understand and solve them. From Laozi's idea of "a small country with few people" to Tao Yuanming's yearning for "a paradise", they are all looking forward to discovering or building an "ideal world" without any contradiction. In fact, such a world does not exist at all. Throughout the ages, people have lived in a world full of contradictions. A world without contradictions. Therefore, we must admit the objective existence of contradictions, and we cannot avoid and deny contradictions.
In our daily life, the theory of contradiction is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere and everywhere. For example, the concrete analysis of specific problems, the dialectical relationship between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, and the principle of the relationship between the main and secondary aspects of contradictions are of great help and inspiration to our lives.
First of all, from the universality and particularity of contradictions, the universality of contradictions means that everything is contradictory and there are contradictions from time to time. Its particularity refers to contradictory things, and each side has its own characteristics. As Chairman Mao said: "Without studying the particularity of contradictions, we can't determine the special nature of a thing that is different from other things, we can't find the special reasons or special basis for the development of things, and we can't distinguish things from the fields of scientific research." Idioms such as "suit the remedy to the case", "tailor the measures", "teach students in accordance with their aptitude" and "adjust measures to local conditions" all tell us a truth, that is, to analyze the characteristics of things in detail. And do things according to the characteristics of things. In philosophical terms, it is a concrete analysis of specific problems. The works praising the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland in China's literary treasures of past dynasties are vast, but later generations can distinguish the specific environment from their different descriptions. "The sky is grey, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low" eulogizes the vast and magnificent grassland in the north; "The river is red at sunrise and blue in spring" depicts the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. Even if you also write about the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the evening scene of Qiu Jiang, where "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei and the autumn waters are * * * one color", is another story.
There are more than 400 famous people with surnames in the famous Dream of Red Mansions, among which dozens of typical people can leave a deep impression. These characters are flesh and blood, lifelike, readers can distinguish them by their own particularity, and they will never be confused with each other because of their own characteristics. Imagine, if the author leaves the specific analysis and profound grasp of the particularity of landscape and the contradictions of various characters, can he create these literary treasures that will be told and shine for later generations?
The contradiction that plays a dominant role in the development of things and plays a decisive role in the development of things is called the principal contradiction; Other contradictions that are subordinate and decisive in the development of things are called secondary contradictions. Learning the principle of primary and secondary contradictions and their relationship requires us to look at the problem, be good at grasping the key points and make overall plans. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party,
China insists on taking economic construction as the center and vigorously develops the socialist economy. China's GDP has made long-term progress, but we have not ignored various contradictions, difficulties and problems in politics, culture and social life. We will solve these problems in a down-to-earth manner, adhere to coordinated and sustainable economic and social development, and achieve all-round social progress. As the saying goes: "Playing the piano requires ten fingers to move, some can't move and some can't move. However, if you press ten fingers at the same time, it is not a song. To produce good music, the movements of ten fingers should be rhythmic and coordinated. "
However, the principal contradiction and the secondary contradiction are not static. They will change with time, place and occasion. We should pay attention to their transformation, otherwise it will bring problems and difficulties to our life and work. Just like SARS in 2003. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China has adhered to economic construction as the center. However, the sudden outbreak of SARS made the people all over the country feel at a loss and fell into panic. At this time, the CPC Central Committee realized the seriousness of this problem, made timely adjustments, and focused the national work on fighting SARS. With the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, we have won the battle against SARS.
From the main and secondary aspects of contradictions, the dominant and leading aspects of contradictions within things are called the main aspects of contradictions; The dominant aspect of contradiction is called the secondary aspect of contradiction. The principle of the relationship between the main and secondary aspects of contradiction requires us to look at the problem comprehensively, and to be good at distinguishing the mainstream from the tributaries and the main and secondary aspects of contradiction. Distinguishing the mainstream and tributaries of things is of great guiding significance for us to recognize the situation, correctly estimate the achievements and shortcomings in our work, and deal with the relationship between people. "Gold is not enough, and no one is perfect". Students should not be blamed for perfection. As long as a classmate's advantages are the main ones, we must affirm him and learn from him. Even if a classmate has serious shortcomings, we should unite to help him. Only in this way can we unite our classmates and build classes.
Mao Zedong's theory of contradiction has given us a solution to the problem and a correct theoretical guidance, which has benefited us a lot. However, we should not be dogmatic, empirical or book-oriented. We should analyze specific problems and make decisions according to actual conditions. So is the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Under the guidance of the theory of contradiction, combined with the actual situation in China, we should persist in integrating theory with practice to better build socialism in China. At the same time, in our daily life, we should also use the knowledge learned in the theory of contradiction to add luster to our lives and bring good solutions to our daily lives.
Reflections on the theory of contradiction
"The law of contradiction between things, that is, the law of unity of opposites, is the fundamental law of nature and society, and therefore the fundamental law of thinking. It is contrary to the metaphysical view of the universe. This is a great revolution in the history of human cognition. According to dialectical materialism, contradiction exists in the process of all objective things and subjective thinking, and runs through all processes, which is the universality and absoluteness of contradiction. Contradictory things and each side of them have their own characteristics, which are the particularity and relativity of contradictions.
Contradictory things are the same according to the necessary conditions, so they can live in a unity and can be transformed into opposing aspects. This is the particularity and relativity of contradictions. However, the contradictory struggle is constant. No matter when we live together or when we are transformed into each other, there are struggles, especially when we are transformed into each other, and the performance of the struggle is more obvious. This is the universality and absoluteness of contradictions. When we study the particularity and relativity of contradictions, we should pay attention to the main and non-main differences between contradictions and contradictions; When we study the universality and struggle of contradictions, we should pay attention to the differences between different forms of struggle of contradictions, otherwise we will make mistakes.
If we really understand these points through research, we can break the dogmatic thoughts that violate the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism and are not conducive to our revolutionary cause; We can also let experienced comrades sort out their own experiences, make them principled, and avoid repeating the mistakes of empiricism. These are some simple conclusions of our study on the law of contradiction. "
This is a good educational work. This article tells us how to know the world, how to know things, how to analyze things, and how to keep a clear understanding under the development situation. No matter yesterday or today, this piece of paper can be used as the direction coordinate for us to handle things.
