现代性是从中世纪末萌芽的,在其发展中取得了普世意义的理性形式:科学精神、人文精神、法治精神和自由、平等、民主的理念。现代化的出生比现代性稍晚,它由三个层面组成:物质层面、制度层面和精神层面。现代性与现代化是我们这个时代的主导精神和各民族皆追求的事业。现代性与现代化不是同一事物,但它们在历史背景上、精神源泉上和构建现代国家上存在着同一又有差别的关系。
Modernity emerged from the end of the Middle Ages and gained a rational form of universal significance in its development: the scientific spirit, the humanistic spirit, the spirit of the rule of law and the concept of freedom, equality and democracy. The birth of modernization is a little later than modernity. It consists of three levels: the material level, the institutional level and the spiritual level. Modernity and modernization are the dominant spirit of our time and the cause pursued by all ethnic groups. Modernity and modernization are not the same thing. However, they have the same and different relations on the historical background, spiritual source and the construction of modern countries.
