A Human Community with a Shared Future ：the Reconstruction of "Community" in Chinese Political Discourse in the 21st Century

Community is an important concept in the history of Western sociology. However, the concept of "community" is not only present in Tennis' theoretical tradition, but also in the research paradigm of "community studies" formed in Chinese sociology in the 1930s. This paradigm was formed by Chinese sociologists Wu Wenzao and Fei Xiaotong after accepting the "field investigation" of British social anthropology and the urban sociology research of the Chicago School in the United States, forming a methodological sense of "Chinese community research". But in today's theoretical discourse in China, the concept of a "community with a shared future for mankind" has emerged from political discourse. This paper attempts to clarify the different meanings of "community" and its ideological background in the discourse system of Chinese social theory, and analyzes the new social theoretical significance of "community with a shared future for mankind" under the discourse system of the CPC through the Marxist theory of social conflict.
