Abstract:

The development of modernity has brought native and national Chinese higher education to the world. At the same time, the alienation of modernity has caused the dilemma that Chinese higher education discourse disappears on the world stage. On the one hand,globalization driven by modernity has shaped universalism and gradually evolved into western centralism in the process of western global expansion,leading to China’s passive acceptance of the western discourse system of high education. On the other hand,the instrumental rationality derived from modernity has led to the prevalence of quantification and standardization,leading the discourse system of China’s higher education to the track dominated by the western discourse system. To build a discourse system of higher education with Chinese characteristics in the new era,it is necessary to reflect and adjust to the modernity of alienation,to break the blind worship of the Western discourse system,to get out of the dilemma of dual opposition, to face multiple symbioses,and to return to value rationality from instrumental rationality. It is necessary to consolidate the foundation of the higher education discourse system by improving the strength of higher education,and to speak for the people,China and the world. More importantly,we must grasp the balance of tension between modernity and Westernization, modernity and politics,modernity and tradition,and handle the relationship between China and foreign countries,the relationship between ancient and modern times. Not only to learn from a hundred schools of thought,but also to be self-contained in the end.

Key words: modernity, Chinese characteristics, higher education discourse system, aphasia, restructure
