Kim Jong Un Clarifies Social Scientists' Responsibility and Duty
Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un clarifies the responsibility and duty of social scientists in his letter "Our Social Sciences Should Actively Contribute to Accomplishing the Cause of Modeling Whole Society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism".

He says:

The social scientists have assumed honorable responsibility to play the role as pioneer and vanguard in implementing the cause of modeling whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

The basic duty facing the field of social sciences at present is to further glorify the undying feats performed by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche, successfully solve theoretical and practical matters arising in building a thriving socialist nation and thus actively contribute to accomplishing the cause of modeling whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

Ours are social sciences guided by Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism both in name and reality and it is, therefore, necessary for them to carry forward their revolutionary character and glorious tradition to the last.

This is the fundamental principle and general orientation to be constantly maintained in building Juche-oriented social sciences.

Social sciences should fully embody the idea and leadership of the party and the leader to contribute to the revolutionary struggle of carving out the destiny of the popular masses and development of the society.

Our social scientists should solve all the problems in the study of social sciences guided by Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, and all their studies should be orientated to implementing the idea and intention of the party and the leader and contributing to the revolutionary practices.

The embodiment of Juche methodology, combination of theories and revolutionary practices and the maintenance of the principle of historicism provide the most correct way of developing social sciences based on the Juche idea and they are principled requirements for ensuring achievements in the study of social sciences.

The field of social sciences should set up all the issues centered on man and popular masses as required by the Juche idea and solve them in line with our people's demand and interests and to suit the specific conditions of our country.

The social scientists should plant their feet on their own land and look at the world and work hard to attain a high goal of developing our social sciences into the most scientific and revolutionary ones in the world and the best ones in terms of influence and practicability as indicated by Kim Jong Il.

They should surely put all the social sciences on the top level of the world in keeping with the revolutionary idea and theory of our party that hold the top position in the history of human thinking and display its superiority and vitality. What is important here is to clarify theoretically in depth the issues arising in the study of social sciences.

The social sciences should not just explain social phenomena or historical facts but promote social movement and historical development by clarifying their essence and laws governing them.
