社会意识是历史唯物主义体系中的一个重要范畴。近年来对于它的研究,已经由注意其一股特点和诸形式,转向揭示其复杂结构,这无疑是一个进步。但对于社会意识本身的内在基本矛盾及其运动规律问题尚无人研究。社会意识的相对独立性,根源于改革意识与传统意识的矛盾运动;社会意识形态的任何一种形式中,都包含着改革意识与传统意识这一基本矛盾。对改革意识与传统意识及其关系进行研究,有十分重要的理论意义和现实意义。 Social consciousness is an important category in historical materialism. In recent years, its research has been turned to the complex structure by paying attention to its characteristics and forms. This is undoubtedly an improvement. However, no one has ever studied the internal basic contradictions and their laws of movement in social consciousness itself. The relative independence of social consciousness stems from the contradictory movement of reforming consciousness and traditional consciousness. In any of the forms of social ideology, the basic contradiction between reforming consciousness and traditional consciousness is contained. Research on the awareness of reform and traditional awareness and their relations has very important theoretical and practical significance.
