梅林对历史唯物主义传播和发展的贡献、局限与启示

The Contribution of Merlin to the Spread and Development of Historical Materialism,Limitation and Revelation

梅林作为第二国际重要的理论家和坚持"正统马克思主义"的哲学家,为坚持、阐释和捍卫马克思主义特别是历史唯物主义作出了很大努力。同时,他也是一位在理论上存在明显不足的思想家。分析梅林在历史唯物主义的传播与发展过程中为坚持和捍卫历史唯物主义所作的贡献,考察其在这一过程中所存在的不足,一方面可以促使我们深入理解马克思主义传播与发展的特点与规律,另一方面也可以启示我们正确看待马克思主义中国化的历史进程,自觉做到重构马克思主义理论与实践的统一,进而在新的时代背景下坚持、发展和创新马克思主义。

Merlin,as an important theorist and philosopher of Second International,made great contributions to explaining and defending historical materialism of Marxism. At the same time,he is also a thinker who has obvious defects in theory. An overview of Merlin can let us understand the characteristics and laws of the spread and development of Marxism,and also can inspire us to look at the historical process of Marxism in China and make the unity of theory and practice of Marxism so that we may develop and innovate Marxism in the new situation.
