Abstract

Political thinking is a general, indirect understanding of political affairs, realized by means of languages, representations, or actions. Therefore, compared with the general political understanding, political thinking is based on a large number of perceptual materials, which reflects the common features or rules of a class of things, so, it has generality. Compared with the feeling, perception and other forms of political cognition, political thinking is with the help of language and other certain medias and previously formed knowledge to reorganize the past experience, therefore, it is an advanced form of political understanding. The process of analysis and synthesis, abstraction and generalization, etc. which is shown in the process of political thinking cannot be expressed by general political cognition.
