论马克思恩格斯权威观及其当代意义

On Marx and Engels’s concept of authority and its contemporary significance

权威作为一种特殊的社会关系表现为两个主体间的服从关系,这种关系必然产生于人们的社会实践。对于任何社会形态,权威都是维护社会关系的一个不可缺少的必要环节。马克思、恩格斯对权威思想有过深入的研究,他们认为权威贯穿于人类社会的发展历史,是社会发展的必要条件,没有权威,社会就无法组织生产,人类社会也就无法发展。在两个大局的背景下对马克思、恩格斯权威观进行研究,对于坚决贯彻“两个维护”,增强“四个意识”,推进全面从严治党具有重要的现实意义。

Authority as a special social relationship is expressed as a relationship of obedience between two subjects, which necessarily arises from people’s social practice. For any social formation, authority is an indispensable and necessary link in maintaining social relations. Marx and Engels have conducted in-depth research on the idea of authority, and they believe that authority runs through the history of the development of human society and is a necessary condition for social development, without which society cannot organize production and human society cannot develop. Studying Marx and Engels’ authoritative views in the context of the two overall situations is of great practical significance for resolutely implementing the “two safeguards”, enhancing the “four consciousnesses”, and promoting the comprehensive and strict management of the party.
