On The Soviet Marxism Philosophy Education And Its Gain And Loss And Enlightenment

The Marxism philosophy education is characteristic of socialist countries carrying out ideological and political education. The Marxism philosophy education in our country needs continuous reforms and innovations, so the study of the Soviet philosophy education can shed lights on developing our Marxism philosophy education.The Marxism philosophy education, the means of the Soviet regime construction and the basis of national education, is an essential part of the Soviet Union’s moral and political education and ideological education. The Marxism philosophy education of the Soviet Union has gone through a series of evolution from the beginning phase,diversified phase, integrated phase, and reforming and stable development stage to metamorphosed stage, which shows the overall picture of the development of Soviet Philosophy Education as well as reflects the basic situation of the Soviet ideological and political education development.The Soviet Philosophy Education is a teaching activity backed up by state power,made to integrate knowledge and belief education and aimed at people of the whole nation. In the long-term educational practice, Soviet Philosophy Education has formed its distinctive characteristics. It has a clear direction in the training objectives, a prominent universal in the education object, a present system in the education principle, an emphasizing institution in teaching process, and such outstanding system in teaching content. These dominant characteristics reflect the basic nature of Soviet Philosophy Education.The author of this essay maintains that the Soviet Philosophy Education not only leaves rich experience but also includes significant errors. On the one hand, it has positive meanings in the inheritance of the Marxism philosophy, the consolidation of ideological education, the cultivation of talents for socialist construction and the development of philosophy education in other socialist countries. On the other hand,the mistakes having been made could not be neglected. Because of too many administrative interventions, the philosophy strengthened the consciousness of classstruggle by CPSU and has been dogmatism. Besides, the theories lost contact with reality in the teaching practice so that Marxism is separated from the whole,resulting in a humanitarian degradation. All these factors caused the Marxism education to deviate from the right direction.There is a profound relationship between the education of the Soviet Union and that of the Chinese Marxism philosophy. Essentially speaking, our reform in philosophy education and the ideological and political education is to get rid of the exploration of the Soviet Marxism education. The Marxism philosophy is the foundation of the socialism ideology, but it is the error of philosophy education in Soviet Union that causes the rigidity of the ideology, which is a meaningful lesson for us to learn. In the reform of Marxism theory education, the key lies in whether we can go beyond the Soviet Philosophy teaching system and realize the innovation of philosophy education. In the contemporary world, the whole socialism movement is in a low tide and the Marxism ideology is facing many other ideological challenges, the Marxism philosophy education has an even harder task than ever before. We should learn from the lessons and nip errors in blossom; we should give a full play to the functions of the Marxism philosophy education and become extremely conscious to lead social trends of thought. Only under that circumstance can we hold firm control of the leadership of ideology and uphold the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
