唯物史观视域中人的个性与社会秩序的关系

Relationship between Human Individuality and Social Order from Perspective of Historical Materialism

从个人主义的个性观看来,个人在大多数方面有一种自我完善的趋势,如果人的个性不受社会秩序的限制,就可以得到很好的发展,这种观点的偏颇在于没有正确理解人的个性与社会秩序关系的实质。从历史唯物主义视角出发,人的个性与社会秩序具有相互生成、相互依赖不可分割的内在联系。社会秩序是人的个性生成、存在和自由发展的前提和基础;人的个性是社会秩序稳定和发展的基本动力;人的个性与社会秩序在人的实践活动基础上具有一致性,整个人类历史是人的个性与社会秩序不断由低级向高级发展的历史。

Individualism believes individual can improve himself in most aspects, and his individality can develop if it is not restricted by social order. The drawback of this view lies in misunderstanding the essence of relationship between human individuality and social order. According to historical materialism, human individuality and social order mutually interact and help to promote each other. The formation, existence and development of human individuality are based on social order. And the stability and advancement of social order are driven by human individuality. Human individuality and social order have the uniformity in human practice. The entire human history is one in that the human individuality and the social order unceasingly develop from the preliminary to the high-level.
