中文摘要：

不同的时代背景和历史条件,使人们形成了对社会主义内涵不同的理解和认识,也决定了对社会主义核心价值的差异性诉求。但是,人们在不同时期对社会主义本质内容和价值内涵的不同理解,具有内在的关联性,体现出一脉相承的特征。社会主义最初的基本内涵、价值本质与核心价值观念在空想社会主义思想体系中得以萌发。科学社会主义克服了空想社会主义的思维局限,明确指出了社会主义的本质特征、任务目标和实现手段,确立了社会主义的核心价值观念。中国共产党在汲取苏联社会主义实践历史教训的基础上、并在建设中国特色社会主义的过程中,真正弄清了社会主义的本质,明确了社会主义核心价值观的基本内容,并努力将之付诸实践,实现了对社会主义本质内容和价值内涵认识的新飞跃。

英文摘要：

In different historical periods and social conditions,people form different understandings of socialism,which lead to the difference in their pursuits of socialist core values. However,those different understandings of the essence and values of socialism are closely related to each other,showing a noticeable feature of historical consistency. The basic definition of the essence and core values of socialism germinated in the utopian socialist ideology. Overcoming the limitations of utopian socialism,the scientific socialism first specified the defining features of socialism,its objectives and the means to achieve its goals; and thus established the socialist core values. In the process of building socialism with Chinese characteristics,through learning the historical experience of the Soviet socialism the Communist Party of China has developed a clear picture of the essence of socialism,specified the socialist core values and put them into practice,thus achieving a breakthrough in the understanding of the essence of socialism and its core values.
