Historical materialism is a science about the general law of human social development. It is an important part of Marxist philosophy, a scientific view of social history and understanding, and a general methodology for transforming society. Also called historical materialism. Historical materialism was founded by Marx and Engels. They call it historical materialism or historical materialism. Lenin called historical materialism sociology of science. The only scientific view of history and the only scientific method of social science are materialist methods. Bernstein and others distorted it as economic materialism. As a scientific historical theory, historical materialism is not only the product of specific social and historical conditions, but also the inevitable result of the development of human understanding ... Historical materialism is a great achievement of human scientific thought, which has opened up a new and broad scientific field for human understanding and realized the transformation of the whole social view of history, philosophy and Marxist political economy.
In the Marxist world outlook, materialism and dialectics are inseparable, and their organic unity constitutes the philosophical theoretical basis of Marxism. Dialectical materialism is thorough materialism and a conscious reflection of the most universal laws in the objective world. The reason why it sees matter is the basis of all phenomena in nature and human society, and the unity of the world lies in its materiality. It holds that consciousness is the product of the long-term development of the material world. It is a function of the human brain, a highly organized substance and a dynamic reflection of the human brain on the objective world. Dialectical materialism is also a thorough dialectics, the most complete and profound theory about development, and there is no one-sided disadvantage. It reveals that the mutual connection and struggle between the two contradictory sides of things is the internal cause of the development of things and the objective truth on which all phenomena move.
Dialectical materialism is a scientific summary of the development history of human cognition. It is based on modern science and advanced social practice, and is constantly enriched and developed with the development of science and practice. The emergence of dialectical materialism is a great revolution in the history of human cognition and philosophy, which has given mankind, especially the working class, a huge cognitive tool. It is a sharp weapon for human beings to understand and transform the world.
In the history of philosophical development, there are struggles between materialism and idealism, as well as between dialectics and metaphysics. Dialectical materialism is a positive aspect of the development of philosophy, that is, the absorption, development and sublimation of materialist factors and dialectical factors.
Dialectical materialism treats material objects as nothing more than the sum of various things, from which the concept of material is abstracted. Matter is a philosophical category that marks the objective reality and is perceived by people through feeling. It exists independently of our feelings and is copied, photographed and reflected by our feelings. The material category of philosophy is defined by the relationship between matter and consciousness. The connotation of material definition is objective reality. Then nature, social existence and all kinds of things and phenomena with objective reality attributes belong to the category of matter, which have material attributes, such as movement, time, space, law, mode of production, practical activities and their results, and reflect the embodiment of materialistic material view in various fields and processes. This is a thorough materialistic view. Matter can be reflected by people's consciousness, and what they know reflects the reflection theory of materialism, consciousness and the initiative of the world.
Significance insists on thorough materialism monism and criticizes idealism and dualism. Adhere to the theory of reflection and knowability of dialectical materialism, and criticize transcendentalism and agnosticism; Adhering to the dialectics of * * * and individuality of matter and material form, the material category of philosophy and specific scientific's view of matter overcomes the metaphysical defect of replacing general and * * * with individual and individuality in the previous materialistic view of matter, and embodies the unity of materialistic view of nature and history, materialism and dialectics, dialectical materialism ontology and epistemology, which is a completely materialistic view of matter.
"We should use dialectical materialism and historical materialism to look at the problem, so as to correctly grasp the law of the development of things and make the right choice. "This is a topic that we often encounter involving philosophy. So what is the viewpoint of historical materialism and how to stick to it?
It is the viewpoint and method of historical materialism to observe, understand, analyze and deal with problems from the viewpoint of historical materialism. There are two meanings here: one is historical and the other is materialistic. This paper focuses on the analysis of historical viewpoints.
Anyone who thinks that the existence and development of society is developed from history, that the existence and development of society can not be separated from history, and that society and history are inevitably related is the historical materialism view. From the viewpoint of historical materialism, he has the following characteristics when looking at and dealing with problems:
First, recognize and respect history and think that society must be a process of continuous development. This is a question of how to look at history.
Recognizing history and thinking that history itself is the source of all things has solved a proposition in philosophy-the origin of things. Everything is not produced out of thin air, and it must have its predecessor or antecedent. Our present is the change or consequence of the predecessor or antecedent. Maybe you should ask: this question is very simple. Is there any situation in reality where history is not recognized? Actually, there is. For example, we sometimes criticize a certain number of codes and forget our ancestors. There are even people with dark and ugly purposes who not only refuse to recognize history, but also distort and tamper with it. Those who refuse to recognize Taiwan Province Province as a part of the Chinese nation and want to split Taiwan Province Province are just forgetting their ancestors. Some people with ulterior motives in Japan refuse to admit historical aggression and tamper with history. In reality, some people are ashamed to mention their original poverty after reaching a certain position, and even dare not recognize their simple relatives in front of everyone. This is also afraid to face history.
