How to correctly understand this principle concerns whether we can right comprehend the whole system of historical materialism or not. However the principle was misunderstood by the traditional comprehension of material system and that it was regularly mobile and changeable and developing progress, it explained it by means of naturalism. Naturalism is what explains society and social history by using physical principles and means, that is to say, it gives society and social history a nourish explanation. If you recall the history, you will know that naturalism is the spirits of the times of the whole era since modem times. Because natural science, getting rid of the shackles of the theology has boomed and achieved many rich fruits ever sine modem times. It is because of the great achievements and social effects of natural science that makes it become the code name of science. It has taken the place of god and has complete dominance of science. Its effective way of observation seems to have been the foundation and regulation of all other means. Which has resulted in a strong trend called scientific doctrine. Since modem times, it has become an important especially primary trend of thought that some thinkers have been using the nature to explain human and social history and regulating the research on social history with the method of natural science. Either from the aspect of its age's background. Or from its aspect own of reasonable content. We may find the inner grounds why the trend of naturalism has become the spirits of the times ever since the modern era. The naturalistic comprehension of social history can be divided into such patterns as thetheory of natural law and theory of social mechanism. And so on and on. Furthermore,nithere exists a trend of natcvralism inside Marxism which gives social history a material explanation.

The second one is that the process of social history was mechanically anodized the process of natural history. Thy final one is that social laws were thought as preexistent laws, which included two aspects. One is that social laws were made to be equal to natural laws. Without noticing their differences. Another is that the theory of historical dominance of historical materialism was misrepresent as the theory of economic dominance .If we want to clarity these three cognitive mistakes; we must criticize the method of naturalism. The philosophical thought of ant naturalism began to deeply criticize the historical philosophy of naturalism in the late nineteen century. Many distinctive thoughts came up with, which deserve to be absorbed and used for reference by us. However, we hold that it is the most obvious flaw of historical philosophy of naturalism that it has neglected the difference and particularity between society and nature. Except their connection and unification. And that it has neglected the humanity of society when attached importance to material sterilizes on society. And that it has laid stress on seeking for the scientific property of social studies. And limited science to the regulations of natural science. Therefore. Its explanation of social history couldn't result in scientific outcome. We want to scientifically explain that human society is a natural historical process.
