驳阿尔弗雷德·施密特对恩格斯自然辩证法思想的批判

Against Alfred Schmidt’s Criticism of Engels’Dialectics of Nature

法兰克福学派主要代表人物施密特在其代表作《马克思的自然概念》中,对恩格斯的自然辩证法思想持批判态度。由于施密特是站在特定立场上对恩格斯采取了断章取义式的解读,难免得出了诸多前后不一致的片面结论,其真实用意在于炮制“马恩对立论”。客观而言,恩格斯的自然辩证法思想是唯物辩证法的重要组成部分,与马克思的思想在根本上是一致的。

Alfred Schmidt,one of the key members of the Frankfurt School,criticized Engels’dialectics of nature with detailed arguments in his representative work Marx’s Concept of Nature.Schmidt made an out-of-context interpretation of Engels from a specific standpoint,so it is inevitable that many of his conclusions are incoherent and one-sided.His“real intention”,however,was to concoct“contradiction between Marx and Engels”.Objectively speaking,Engels’dialectics of nature is an important part of dialectics of materialism,which is basically consistent with Marx’s thought.
