The objectivity of history is one of the core issue since the late 19th centuryphilosophy - Historical Theory of discussion. Croce's academic proposition "all truehistory is contemporary history" to break the ordinary history of naive realism tounderstand. People began consciously to history is not quite that objective, rigorousscientific research methods and was able to confirm the objectivity of historicalknowledge, history can only be the results of the subjective construction of thehistorian. The thought of this denial, objectivity lasting and severe, that in the contextof postmodernism, the history is complete poetry into the art of lame. Spread to theunderstanding of historical materialism and historical objectivity questioned.Then,How to breakthrough in the science or the art of debate on the objectivity of history toregain the primordial understanding of history. The author believes that this only bepossible to return to Hegel and Marx.The debates of the traditional historical objectivity is the significance of theempirical history, that is, questioning the objectivity of historical facts' Possibleproblems. We believe that, This confined to the intellectual way of thinking tounderstand and debate the historical objectivity, has been first obscured the history ofthe primordial relationship between the people and the history of abstraction into theexternal relations of man and nature. Therefore, It is either trying to emulate naturalscience paradigm to construct the knowledge of the history of science, history orsimply misunderstood the results and the product of subjective imagination ofhistorians. The history of scientific or artistic is just one coin has two sides, regardedhistory understood as the chronicle has nothing to do with people. The Hegel Firstchange the annals of history to understand, to show the generation of history and thedialectic of ideological connotation of logic in the ontological sense. Hegel believesthat On the one hand, the individual's understanding of constantly elevated toconcentrated dialectical development of history of human knowledge, on the otherhand, the dialectical development of history of human knowledge (rational history)for individual understanding and laid a foundation in reality. Thence If you leave theunderstanding of the history of dialectical development, individual consciousness is just an abstract arbitrary. In this way, With the intermediary of the historicalconnotation of the Hegelian logic achieve individual rationality and universal rationalreconciliation and unity of the necessity of all the freedom and links. Hegelideological objectivity resort in the history of the objectivity of historical objectivity,objectivity for ideological foundation. Assuredly, Chronicle here the concept of"history" is not in the traditional sense, but rational dialectical expansion.Connotation of the Hegelian logic tells us that history is not entirely external to theready presence of consciousness, is awareness of the primordial existence. Or therelationship between man and history is not an abstract binary oppositions,historyitself is the human way of existence, to achieve the characterization of humanfreedom.one as a product of history and culture,has been total in history. Marx spokehighly of the Hegelian dialectical understanding of history, that the Hegelianspeculative expression of the historical movement. But Hegel does not understand thereality of personal existence, the human consciousness to understand theconsciousness of people,the history of the reality in him still be obscured.Marx believed that History is nothing but the pursuit of the activities of theperson's own purposes.Thus, History is not external to the reality of individualsindependent subject, and the only human activity product,that people make their ownhistory. But on the other hand, people can not freely make history real individual isitself a result of history and products, he is always passing the historical and culturalaccumulation, and had to face the previous generation left behind a variety of materialconditions. Just because of this, the development of social history, it emerged as anatural historical process. As a result, Marx not only broke the old materialismintuitive understanding of history, and re-reversal of Hegel's history of subject andobject reversed, making the history of human reality to be clarity and apparent.Critical Research of the historical reality that is, capitalism, so Marx discovered theprivate ownership and division of labor, and shouting political emancipation is notequal to the liberation of the people, because of the independence of the modern manis still based on the dependence of the material. The formation of such social relationsof capitalism is not easy, neither is the inevitable result of historical development, butalso a prerequisite for the development of the future of mankind history. Thus, Marx based on the critique of capitalism and accessibility of all human history, andproposed the famous three forms said is the vision of a historicism, Marx bothconsciously to the inevitability of the "labor pains" experienced by human beings inthe process of the realization of freedom, the consciousness to the "labor pains" of thehistoric and temporary. Historical materialism, the history of science to theunderstanding of the individual to resort to the people to create the reality of history,passed on the real history of the critique of political economy to seek the road of realpersonal liberation, and thus it is neither non-critical positivism, but also is not anabstract humanitarian, but the theory of truth, the unity of theory and the theory ofvalue.In short, Hegel revolutionized the ordinary deep-rooted ideological content oflogic based on the rational understanding of the generation of the concept of chronicle,to achieve objectivity as the ideological foundation.Hegel's ideological content oflogic "to the important theoretical resources, Marx has the connotation of "historicallogic" clarity the history of human reality and the liberation of the man pointed arealistic way. Re-understanding of the historical concepts of Marx, also responded toour post-modern doctrine of historical materialism, the many challenges a newsupport.
