历史唯物主义概念出场及深层意蕴

The Appearance of the Concept of Historical Materialism and Its Deeper Implications

历史唯物主义是马克思主义哲学的基础性概念,清晰地厘清其内涵和外延至关重要。通过梳理文献发现,马克思一生从未使用过“历史唯物主义”和“唯物史观”这两个概念,而是以“这种历史观”代指“唯物主义历史观”内容的。而“历史唯物主义”最初是作为被批判的对象出场的,在批判、否定之后恩格斯又赋予了“历史唯物主义”的唯物史观意义,需要指出的是,恩格斯在阐释和使用历史唯物主义概念的过程中更加强调阶级划分和阶级斗争的重要意义。

Historical materialism is a fundamental concept of Marxist philosophy, and it is important to clearly clarify its connotation and extension. A review of the literature reveals that Marx never used the concepts of “historical materialism” and “materialist conception of history” in his life, but used “this conception of history” to refer to the content of “materialist conception of history”. He never used the concepts of “historical materialism” and “materialist conception of history” in his life. It is important to note that Engels, in the process of interpreting and using the concept of historical materialism, puts more emphasis on class division and the class concept. It should be noted that Engels, in his interpretation and use of the concept of historical materialism, emphasized the importance of class division and class struggle.
