Features: The level of philosophical development represents the degree of a nation's progress. It is hard to imagine that a nation lacking theoretical thinking could enter the ranks of the world's advanced countries. Dogmatism detached from reality and utilitarianism that belittles theory are both enemies of scientific philosophy and the socialist cause. To revitalize China and forge ahead with determination, it is essential to enhance the spiritual quality of the nation, with the key being the improvement of theoretical thinking. We must cultivate our national spirit with advanced philosophical thought, cleansing the diverse idealistic and metaphysical concepts that have long confined people's minds. Only by mastering scientific methods of theoretical thinking can we correctly reflect on and summarize the past, calmly observe and transform the present, and scientifically foresee and create the future. Philosophy is the crystallization of human wisdom and the light of hope for our nation. It is essential for the broad masses to grasp this great tool of cognition. The future belongs to the younger generation. Young social science and philosophy scholars should take the development and dissemination of Marxist philosophy and the enhancement of our nation's theoretical thinking as their sacred duty, contributing their due share to the rise of the Chinese nation.
