“人的类本质”与“人的现实本质”的统一——对马克思关于人的本质理论的再认识

The Unification of Man's "Genus Essence" and "Realistic Essence"——Re-understanding of Marx’s Theory of Man’s Enssence

马克思关于人的本质的学说,包括关于“人的类本质”与“人的现实本质”的理解。人的类本质是实践劳动,它将人与动物相区别;人的现实本质是社会关系的总和,它将人和人、集团和集团、阶级和阶级区别开来。二者相辅相成、辨证统一,构成了完整而科学的人的本质的学说。对人的本质问题的准确把握,对于指导、推动人的现实发展,具有重要的意义。

Marx’s theory about “the essence of man” includes two aspects .One is “the genus essence of man”,which refers to practice and labour,and distinguishes man from the animals. The other is “the realistic essence of man”,which refers to the sum of social relationships. It differentiates all kinds of people,groups and classes. These two aspects of the theory supplement each other dialectically and uniformly. It is of great significance to grasp the essence of man since it can instruct and improve the development human beings.
