正确对待西方的思想理论,是坚持马克思主义指导地位、繁荣和发展中国哲学社会科学的重要条件。谢毅在《从迷信西方思想理论的教条主义束缚中解放出来》中强调,对西方思想理论采取教条主义态度十分有害。如果只是跟在西方国家的后边亦步亦趋,其结果必然使自己丧失独立思考的精神和自由创造的能力,丧失文化上、理论上的自觉性和自信心。 Correctly treating the western ideological theories is an important condition for upholding the guiding position of Marxism and for prospering and developing Chinese philosophy and social sciences. Xie Yi, in “liberating from the fetters of dogmatism in superstition and western ideological theory,” emphasized that it is very harmful to adopt a dogmatic attitude toward western ideological theories. If we follow the trend of the West, we must lose the spirit of independent thinking and the ability to freely create and lose the cultural and theoretical consciousness and self-confidence.
