Research On The Issue Of Historical Progress Of Marx

This thesis explains the theory of Historical Progress of Marx and the reflection on it. It asserts that the theory of Historical Progress of Marx is the development of productivity and all-round development of human being, however, the development of productivity as the fundamental. The cultural heritage of human society is to be achieved through the use of science and technology. science and technology can provide a steady stream of external energy for the cultural heritage and development, they’re productivity. Not only productivity determines the degree of development of substance practice, the degree of realization of comprehensive development of human, but also determines the overall progress of all social life. Productivity is undoubtedly the fundamental driving force of historical progress. Technology is a powerful force of productivity development, also the direct driving force of human social development. In the view of Marx, society has experienced three forms, the aim is communism. In the 20th century, capitalism expansion in the word have brought turmoi1 and disaster. Class contradiction aggravated. In the turbulent world,.the communist movement failed mostly, which cast a shadow to the proletarian movement. In such circumstances, modern western scholars have carried out harsh criticism and reflection to Marx. Postmodernism deconstructed the historical subject, and opposed the use of macro-narrative way to describle the history, replaced by micro-history. Popper criticized the regularity and causality of Historical Determinism, he also believes that Marx’s historical theory is economic materialism. Utopian social engineering is not feasible in the world, it should be replaced by the progressive utopia project. Their criticism reflects the requirements of present era. It cuts into the present-day corrupt practices and worths pondering. Believeing the produtivity and the power of science blindly has brought many problems, productivity advances are not the simultaneous development of morality.Utilitarianism makes productivity in creating material wealth but also destroying material wealth. Given the independence and particularity of moral development, we cann’t kidnap moral progress to economic development.It’s an opportunity to reflect the puzzle from historical progress, the possible solution is to strengthen the legal system, which provides theoretical reference for contemporary society. That’s the practical significance of Marx’s theory of Historical Progress.
