Truth, Contingency and Modernity Albrecht Wellmer, Qi YING 2006, 38 (6):  15-22.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2006.06.003 Abstract ( 2433 )   HTML ( 9 )   PDF (716KB) ( 214 )   Save If the peculiar relationship between truth's absolutism and relativism can be called "truth's antinomy, " many philosophical issues over recent several decades of years aim at solving this antinomy. Hilary Putnam, Karl-Otto Apel and Jurgen Habermas all seem to say that absolutism of truth does not necessarily lead to metaphysics, whereas Richard Rorty attempts to say that criticisms of truth's absolutism do not necessarily result in relativism. Through an analysis of the above-mentioned two parties' debates on truth, those inherent relations among truth, contingency and modernity can be observed. References | Related Articles | Metrics

In the past twenty years its establishment was neglected more or less in our country's emphasis on strategic goals of economic reconstruction and social stability. However, under the current guidance of new development targets of "people-first, building up of a harmonious socialist society" and "building of a new socialist countryside, " the development of the rural social aid system is meeting a new opportunity. In accordance with our countryside's characteristics, we should focus on setting up a relatively comprehensive and system-coordinated rural social aid system, especially as soon as possible setting up a rural basic livelihood aid system including the system of rural residents' subsistence allowances and the system of "five allowance households."
