历史合力的现实意义——读恩格斯《致约·布洛赫》

The Practical Significance of Historical Resultant Force——Reading A Letter to Bloch Written by Engels

恩格斯在给《致约.布洛赫》的回信中提出了“历史合力”的思想,阐明了经济因素是历史发展的决定性因素,但不是历史发展的唯一决定性的因素,政治、法、哲学、宗教、文学、艺术等也是历史发展的重要动力,它们相互作用形成历史发展的合力。历史的合力最终是由人民群众所创造的,人民群众是创造历史的主体力量。恩格斯的“历史合力”思想对社会主义现代化建设具有重要的现实意义。

In his reply to Bloch,Engels put forward the idea of"historical resultant force",and expounded that economic factors are the decisive factors of historical development,but not the only decisive factors of historical development.Politics,law,philosophy,religion,literature,art and so on are also important driving forces of historical development.They interact to form the resultant force of historical development.The resultant force of history is finally created by the masses of the people,and in the development of history,the masses of the people are the main force of making history.Engels′thought of"historical resultant force"is of great guiding significance to socialist modernization.
