人类意識的起源和发展

THE GENESIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

人类意識的起源和发展問題在現代科学中占有重要的地位,哲学的基本問題是意識对存在的关系問題,它如何解决,是唯物主义和唯心主义的根本分界綫。唯物主义者认为物貭是第一性的;意識是第二性的,是物貭长期发展的結果,是派生的。因此,研究人类意識的起源和发展,对馬克思主义哲学是有着重大意义的。 人类意識的起源和发展問題,是心理学的基本理論,它涉及到广泛的科学领域,只有在馬克思主义指导下,心理学联合人类学、考古学、語言学、历史学以及其它許多学科,进行綜合性的研究才能得到解决。现代科学对于这个問題已经积累了相当重要的資料和科学論据。

In the light of Marxism-leninism, and especially Comrade Mao Tse-tung’s thinking on Practice, this paper brings out the role of practice in the genesis and development of human consciousness. The authors attempt to analyze the influence of productive activity in the formation of man’s senses, conception, speech rind thought, etc. They pointed out that the principle that labor created man also means that labor created consciousness. They point out the dependence of human consciousness on society; human consciousness in class society inevitably has a class character, and class struggle is the great motive force in the development of human consciousness in class society.
