论精神资料的生产方式

On Production Mode of Spiritual Goods

人类的生产活动,不仅有征服自然、改造自然的物质资料的生产活动,也有认识自然、社会乃至人的思维的精神生产活动。人类社会由低级到高级的发展是两种生产方式内在矛盾运动的结果。因而,仅指物质资料的生产方式只能是狭义的生产方式,广义的生产方式还应包括精神资料的生产方式。

The activities of production contain not only the material activities of conquering and rebuilding the nature, but also the spiritual of understanding the nature, the society and the ideation. Therefore, the 'production' referring to the production of material goods is narrow sense. The broad one must include the production of spiritual goods.
