Lukacs's Philosophy Of History Research

As a domain of philosophy of history, the paper studied Lukacs's philosophy of history thoughts in chronological order. In accordance with the principle of historical methods and logical approach consistency, the paper divided Lukacs's philosophy of history thoughts into early period and later period and studied separately.As the origin of the philosophy of history thoughts, in "Soul and form" and "Theory of the Novel", Lukacs expressed his views of philosophy of history for the first time, including relationship between history and nature, role of spiritual experience in understanding, specific subjective truth as well as concept of totality. On this basis, in "History and Class Consciousness", Lukacs explained his early years philosophy of history thoughts systematically, including history research methods, meaning of history, history status, history promotion power, structure of history understanding as well as totality category. The thoughts were compromise between speculative philosophy of history and analytic philosophy of history, being of many non-Marxist factors.In his later years, Lukacs experienced a critical reflection in "Existentialism or Marxism?", "The Young Hegel" and "The Destruction of Reason", eliminated bourgeois philosophy of history and its methodology, and established Marxist philosophy of history and methodology. On the basis of the ontology, in "On the Ontology of Social Existence", Lukacs constructed his own philosophy of history, including history objectivity, social attributes of history, totality of history, regularity of history, purpose and progress of history, driving force in historical development, understanding history in practice, methods of understanding history, nature of understanding history and nature of history knowledge and so on. The thoughts sublated both speculative philosophy of history and analytic philosophy of history, with obvious characteristics of Marxism.The domain of philosophy of history breakthroughs its narrow and single field of vision in the past. In this vision, Lukacs's specific and rich contents of philosophy of history thoughts appear in front of us, which tell us the development and changes of Lukacs's thoughts in thinking process, having an important significance for study of Lukacs's entire ideological system; providing a useful clue for us to understand Western Marxist founded in Lukacs; being a very good inspiration for understanding and developing Marxism philosophy of history, promoting humanistic spirit, building a harmonious society; also being a rare academic value to solve the dispute between speculative philosophy of history and analytic philosophy of history.
