历史唯物主义视域中当代社会的精神生产

Spirit Production of the Contemporary Society——From the Perspective of Historical Materialism

物质生产决定精神生产、精神生产反作用于物质生产是历史唯物主义的基本观点,学界一般是从物质生产作为精神生产研究的切入点,来分析精神生产的特性、作用。然而在马克思那里,物质生产与物质消费是一个有机统一的整体。生产直接是消费,消费直接也是生产,二者联系密切,是社会再生产这个有机整体中的组成要素。物质生产与物质消费之间相互作用,割裂二者的有机联系,无法从根本上了解精神生产的表现形式、作用及本质。

That material production decides spirit production and spirit production has influence on material production in return is the basic idea of historical materialism. The academia normally analyzes the features and roles of spirit production from the perspective of material production as spirit production. However, according to Marxism, material production and spirit production are closely integrated. Produc- tion is consumption and vise versa. They are closely related to each other and are both factors of the so- cial reproduction. Material production and consumption interact with each other. The separation of the organic integration of them may not result in the understanding of forms, roles and characteristics of spirit nroduction.
