一、是什么的本质与本质是什么“社会主义”概念具有多重含义:既可以指社会主义的运动、学说,也能代表社会主义的社会形态或社会制度.邓小平“本质论”中的社会主义显然不属于前者.那末,究竟是代指社会主义社会形态呢,还是社会主义社会制度?明确这一点,是准确理解邓小平社会主义本质思想的前提.社会形态和社会制度是两个既相联系又相区别的概念.社会制度属于规定社会生活基本形式的结构性范畴,是一种最基本的社会行为体系.例如在我国,宪法规定的生产资料公有制占主导地位,实行以按劳分配为主体的分配制度,实行工人阶级(经过共产党)领导的人民民主专政制度等,就是我国社会的基本制度.社会形态则是由历史上一定的生产力、生产关系、上层建筑等全部社会要素组成,其中包括一定社会的结构形式(制度),更包括一定社会的基本内容——生产力在内.由此可见,社会形态和社会制度这两个概念,在外延上只是部分重合,在内涵上也并不一致.但是也许是因为 First, what is the nature and essence of what?

Thus, social forms and social systems of these two concepts, only partially overlap, it is not consistent in content on the extension, but perhaps because
