唯物史观与历史规律的客观性

On the Objectivity of Historical Materialism and Historical Law

历史规律是唯物史观的重要理论内容,对历史规律的客观性必须重新加以审视。历史规律是否存在?历史规律是否以人的意志为转移?这是历史规律客观性问题的两个重要方面。依据唯物史观,人们是在生活世界中、在亿万次实践活动中遭遇并意识到历史规律存在的。这是在本体论层面对历史规律存在的肯定。发现和表述这种规律,则是认识论层面的证明。历史规律本质上是人的实践活动的规律,因此以人的实践意识为内在环节,所以不能抽象地说"历史规律不以人的意志为转移"。同样,也不能抽象地谈论"人们不能创造和消灭历史规律"。各种历史规律是在人们实践活动的历史发展过程中产生和消失的。

Historical law is the important part of theoretical content of Historical materialism.Two important aspects of the objectivity of historical law are whether there is historical law and whether it depends upon man's will.According to historical materialism,man encounters and realizes historical law in the living world as well as in millions and millions of practical activities.This is the noumenon affirmation of the historical law.The discovery and interpretation of historical law is its perceptual demonstration.Historical law is,in essence,the law of man's practical activity.Therefore,one cannot say in the abstract that historical law has nothing to do with man's will,nor can one say in the abstract that man cannot create and destroy historical law.All historical laws develop and die out in the historical development of man's practical activities.
