恩格斯“末世”论探析——《自然辩证法》中的“终极关怀”

Engels' Theory on Latter-Day——Ultimate Concern of Humanity in Dialectics of Nature

恩格斯的《自然辩证法》包含着一种"末世"论的观点。任何事物的发展都有一个终结,整个宇宙的命运也是这样。永恒发展是物质永恒循环中的发展,对人类历史和人自身价值的理解应当置于这个大背景之下。恩格斯的"末世"论受到了基督教思想的影响,又是立足当时科学成果对宗教神学的批判,是对人的历史命运和人自身价值的"终极关怀"。

Engels suggests an opinion of the world＇s Latter--day in dialectics of nature. Anything in the world exists as a process with its beginning, growing, flourish and decline, so it is with the whole universe. Perpetual development is circular development of the beingness, which is the background or environment of human being with all her values, aims and ambitions. Engels＇ statement connotes somewhat flavor of religion or faith, as well as its criticism of the religion with a god, so that the whole opinion seems more like the ultimate concern of humanity than we usually expected.
