历史唯物主义探秘

Probing into Historical Materialism

"历史唯物主义"与"唯物史观"这两个概念既存在着密切的关联,又具有重要的差异。文章首先梳理了这两个概念的历史起源,指出唯物史观是马克思和恩格斯共同加以系统阐释的,而历史唯物主义则是恩格斯为了与经济唯物主义进行理论斗争采用的;随后,文章详尽地分析了历史唯物主义与唯物史观的在理论外延、理论性质、思想来源、理论侧重点等方面存在的区别。文章对我们更加准确地把握马克思主义历史理论具有很好的启发作用。

＂Historical Materialism＂ is closely connected with ＂materialistic viewpoint of history＂ with sig-nificant distinctions. This article sorts out the historical origin of the two terms by pointing out that material-istic viewpoint of history is expounded by Marx and Engels systematically, while Historical Materialism is adopted by Engels to fight against economic materialism. Later it also analyzes the distinction concerning the theoretical extension, nature, origin and emphasis. It will have inspirations to grasp the philosophical re-flection on human history on the part of Marx and Engels.
