Abstract

Deng Xiao-ping's theory is modern China's Marxism; it is Marxist China's second developmental milestone.  English philosopher Whitehead's process philosophy is an important component in Western Postmodern philosophy.  Both theories' use of wisdom, profoundness, and creativity has a tremendous effect on the development of humanity.  Further, they both demonstrated their enormous vigor and vitality.  By looking at Ping's theory through a process philosophy, we can use a global and academic perspective to investigate Ping's theory-amid the modern world's education's developing of the flow and sequence of ideas-so that it further deepens Ping's theoretical research by providing a new and broader view.[translated from Chinese]
