内容简介

　　当今，人类文明已经走到了一个前所未有的十字路口。人类社会一方面面临着堆积如山的全球治理问题，巨大风险和挑战时刻威胁着人类文明的存亡绝续；另一方面，当今世界体系是由先发工业国家主导建立的民族国家体系，先发国家一旦感觉其为全球治理付出的成本高于其收益时，便会选择逆全球化，回到自己的舒适区，而听任后发国家在风雨中飘摇。这一巨大困局，就是“21世纪人类文明的最大困局”。

　　美国汉学家白鲁恂曾指出：中国是一个伪装成民族国家的文明体。中华文明历经5000年，为何依然年轻且有澎湃的活力？作为历劫不衰的中华文明在应对人类社会历次重大危机与挑战时积累了哪些宝贵经验？集纳了丰厚中华文明底蕴的中国式现代化对21世纪人类世界的共同问题将提供哪些独到的解决方案？

　　本书分上、下两编，上编以文明兴衰的内在逻辑为经，以农业文明—工业文明—信息文明为主线，对5000年来中华文明的演绎逻辑进行了剖析，同时以世界大历史为纬，从全球的视角，对5000年来世界主要文明体的历史表现进行大纵深透视，客观分析世界各原生文明的内核，揭示文明盛衰的规律和发展趋势。下编分析了全球化时代的内在困局，在殖民霸权文明日益走向式微和内耗的前提下，中华文明作为从未断绝的天下型文明，其独特的文明观与对人类前途命运的自觉担当，必将成为21世纪人类文明进程的领跑者。中国式现代化创造了人类文明新形态，必将为21世纪人类文明的最大困局破局。
