A Study Of The Social History's Progress

The social history's progress is in fact a complex and a big problem, which seems to be a simple one. Because any premis on studying this problem is that should answer if there is progress , then on the base of it, can we discuss the questions as following: what is social history's progress, what is the evaluating criterion on it, what are the impetuses about it and the problem of cost, and so on. But to give a clear and scientific solution to this series of problems is an another complex project. To make the studying thread of this problem be more comprehensive and clear, the logic be more definite and reasonable, therefore, the thesis gives the explanation from the following five sections, which in order of fact, logic and reality.Section 1: At first, to give the fact of the social history's progress clearly. Mainly through analysing and criticizing the basic thought and its error of anti-Marxist social history theory, that are historicism and retrogressing history theory, then analyses the Marxist social history theory's thought on the problem of progress deeply. On the base of the human's generative activity, and from the angle of the combination of fact and value, the Marxist social history's progress theory powerfully proved the progress in the social history, which is much scientific and provident.Section 2: Through comparing with the relative concepts, such as evolution, increase and development and so on, to stand out the scientific connotation and character of progress;then outlined some good research about the social history's progress in the history;at last, deeply analyses the fact and complexity of the social history's progress. From ancient times to modern times, this section quotes a lot of factual examples, and comprehensively expounds the general theory of the social history's progress, from the perspectives of economics, politics and philosophy and so on.Section 3: Make sure that the essential evaluating criterion on the social history'sprogress------productive criterion, then put forward a comprehensive coordinate ofevaluating the social history's progress. At first, explains what is evaluating criterion;then from the beginning of the productivity's character, mainly from the theoretical perspective, it expounds the necessity and rationality of productivity criterion. Though on essence, only the productivity is the essential evaluating criterion, the social history'sprogress is a comprehensive problem, and on the base of this, the thesis also reviews the all-round criterions of evaluating the social history's progress, in order to put forward a comprehensive and scientific evaluating criterion.Section 4: Tntently, this section expounds the dynamic mechanism of the social history's progress. Since the social history proceeds along the progressive track, what else its dynamic mechanism is? Of course, the social history's progress is the result of all aspects' impetuses.The movement of the social's basic conflict is the essential impetus of human's social history's progress, the class struggle is the direct impetus of it in the class societies, and meanwhile, with the history's proceeding, the science and technology and man have played important parts, and the reason of why all the "impetus" could exert their functions is that because of human's infinite practical activity. It is just under the cooperative effect of the aspects that are there the continual proceeding of the human's history.Section 5: Mainly discusses the cost problem of the social history's progress.This is a terminal topic when expounding the whole problem of the social history's progress, and also is an inevitable problem, because the cost is concomitant for it. Mainly through expounding the following aspects: the cost's connotation, the modern research on the cost problem, and the prospect and so on, which also shows the essence of the social history's progress, from side face.
