What is dialectical materialism? Dialectical materialism holds that things exist objectively, and it does not depend on people's understanding of it. In my opinion, dialectical materialism is scientific, realistic and universal, and it is a great contribution to human society. His scientific essence and its universal guidance come from his reality. Different from utopian socialism, dialectical materialism is a social need rooted in social existence and thus guiding reality. He is not utopia, but realism.
Dialectical materialism (dialectical materialism) is a Marxist philosophical theory and a scientific world outlook with the organic unity of materialism and dialectics. /kloc-produced in the 0/9 s. This is an advanced form of materialism. Dialectical materialism holds that the world is essentially material.
Engels said: "The real unity of the world lies in its materiality". (Anti-Turin Theory, Selected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume III, page 83) Matter is primary, while consciousness is secondary. Consciousness is a highly developed material-the function of the human brain, and it is the reflection of the objective material world in the human brain. Dialectical materialism holds that the material world moves, changes and develops according to its own internal laws. "Everything is divided into two." It reveals that the fundamental reason for the development of things lies in the contradictions within things.
The contradictory sides of things are unified and also struggling, which promotes the development of things from low level to high level. Therefore, the contradictory law of things, that is, the law of unity of opposites, is the most fundamental law of the movement, change and development of the material world. Dialectical materialism holds that human cognition is the reflection of the movement of the objective material world in the human brain. Dialectical materialism epistemology not only solves the problems of the content, source and development process of human cognition materialistically but also dialectically. It holds that matter can be transformed into spirit, and spirit can be transformed into matter, and the realization of this dialectical unity of subjective and objective must be realized through practice. Practical viewpoint is the primary and basic viewpoint of dialectical materialism epistemology. Knowledge comes from practice and turns to serve practice.
Practice, understanding, re-practice, re-understanding, cycle after cycle, and even endless, this is the process of people's correct understanding and positive transformation of the infinite development of the world. Therefore, dialectical materialism epistemology is a dynamic and revolutionary reflection theory. Dialectical materialism is the world outlook and location of the proletariat, the theoretical basis of the proletarian party's strategy and tactics, and a powerful ideological weapon for the proletariat and the revolutionary people to scientifically understand and the revolutionary world. This shows the practicality and reality of dialectical materialism.
On this basis, the reality of dialectical materialism includes cognition, practice and contradiction. His realistic system is the basis of correctly understanding his political economy and scientific socialism, and the premise of correctly understanding the world and its internal relations. Dialectical materialism comes from reality and is based on a certain degree of social existence in a specific historical period. The real realization of its practical value lies in the combination of its universal guidance and concrete application. The universal guiding significance of dialectical materialism lies in the universal application of historical materialism and dialectical materialism. For them to correctly understand the general laws of the development of human society, the laws here are only the most general laws, which need to be combined with the specific conditions of specific countries to make them have distinctive national characteristics and times colors. It has correctly guided the development of the country. Such as Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, and now socialism in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and Viet Nam. The failure of the Soviet Union in the later period was due to its departure from the concrete application of the universal truth of dialectical materialism to its national conditions. It has a certain color of personal blind command, deviated from the right path, and led to disintegration and deterioration. Therefore, dialectical materialism needs to form a new theoretical system that is more in line with China's national conditions through national internalization, but it cannot be divorced from the general guidance of dialectical materialism, especially its specific application and its reality in a specific environment. It can be seen that the reality of dialectical materialism is not completely independent of scientific socialism. When Marx put forward scientific socialism, he also gave us the golden key to open this book.
Today, China adheres to the combination of dialectical materialism and the specific application of China's national conditions, forming a new situation in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is a remarkable achievement. Now we are actively pursuing innovation and change. However, no matter how it is changed, it cannot be divorced from the general guidance of dialectical materialism and its reality. Otherwise it will be fatal to the socialist cause. This is divorced from the general basis of its existence. It seems that dialectical materialism is not outdated, it is realistic, and it is becoming more and more important today.
For college students, dialectical materialism and its reality are also of practical significance. He taught us how to be a man; 2. How to locate and establish yourself and realize your life value; 3. How to correctly understand the relationship between self and others and society, and how to deal with this relationship; 4. How to correctly understand the world and its internal relations, what to establish, and how to pursue lofty ideals and beliefs. Walk out of the glory of life and practice your greatest personal social value. We should study dialectical materialism as Chairman Mao said: study hard and make progress every day.
Dialectical materialism comes from reality, and through the concrete combination with reality, it guides the further development of reality, enriching and expanding the profound connotation of dialectical materialism in reality. This is the unremitting vitality of dialectical materialism. Learning dialectical materialism, understanding and applying its profound connotation has become a necessary condition for contemporary outstanding young people in China to build a sound life system and shoulder the national backbone. Therefore, we need to equip ourselves with dialectical materialism, stand on the tide of the times, continue to explore and extend this era, and lead the historical development process.
