维科与《资本论》中马克思的唯物主义

A Note on Vico and Marxian Materialism in Capital

在《资本论》中,马克思只有两次提到了"唯物主义":关于18世纪意大利极为重要的哲学家维科的一个段落和德文第二版后记中关于黑格尔辩证法的著名评论。在讨论维科处,有两个方面显得非常重要,其引起人们注意到:在马克思的立场和维科建构性的知识路径之间,存在着基本的相似性;同时,它意味着,马克思的立场不是科学,而是一种特殊形式的哲学。

In Capital,Marx mentions＂materialism＂only two times：in a passage on Giambattista Vico,an important eighteenth Italian philosopher,and in the Afterword to the second German edition in the famous comment on Hegelian dialectic.This paper concerns the reference to Vico.This reference is important in two ways：in calling attention to a basic similarity between Marx＇s position and Vico＇s constructivist approach to knowledge,and in suggesting Marx＇s position is not science but rather a particular kind of philosophy.
