恩格斯晚年的国际观及其当代启示

Engels’International View in His Later Years and Its Contemporary Enlightenment

恩格斯晚年面对19世纪末国际政治格局的剧烈变动,以历史唯物主义为哲学基石,以结构分析与动机分析为方法论原则,深刻透视了垄断资本主义时代国际关系的基本特征和根本动因,并且准确预言了大国体系走向全面崩溃和世界大战的历史结局,从而拓宽了马克思主义关于世界历史发展和国际社会变迁的基本范畴、认知逻辑和分析范式。在国际政治遭遇百年未有之大变局的背景下,恩格斯的国际观和方法论具有格外重要的价值,不仅能够为我们剖析今日的世界格局和发展趋势提供视角与方法,而且能为我们建构中国发展道路和更加高级的文明秩序提供立论基石和方向指引。

In his later years, Engels faced with the drastic changes in the international political pattern at the end of the 19th century. He embarked from the historical materialism, used structural analysis and motivational analysis to perceive the basic characteristics of the monopoly capitalism, and accurately predicted the collapse of the great power system. In the context of great changes in the international landscape, Engels’ international view and methodology is of particularly important value. It not only helps us to analyze the current world pattern and development trend, but also provides us with theoretical foundation and direction guidance for constructing the development path of China and a more advanced civilized order.
