The Research Of Cultural Productive Forces Under The Materialistic Historical View

Cultural productive force is an important part of the social productive forces. With the development of globalization and information, the importance of cultural productive force is growing. The principal founders of historical materialism have focused on the material productive practice of human society because of the historical reason, while a little about cultural productive practice. But the materialistic historical view which is one of Marx's great discoveries and has been described as a scientific theory, should be a scientific and theoretical perspective to the research of cultural productive forces.Cultural productive force is the force with which people practice cultural production to meet their spiritual and cultural needs. Its subject is the individuals who is objective existence, rather than culture. Cultural productivity can not be simply understood as "culture is a productive force" or "culture as a productive force ", to avoid equating the cultural productive force to the means of economic growth, then revert the content of culture as a symbol of the human spirit, and the natural meaning of cultural productive forces which is the force with which people practice cultural production.The meaning of "product " in cultural productive force does not only include the narrow sense of cultural production, but also cultural management, cultural control, and others. Culture has the function of civilizing which is said as cultural reproduction.The statement that culture is a productive force or culture as a productive force can be established only when people become the subject to control the function of cultural production. As the specificity of cultural production, the operation of cultural production demonstrates complicated and diverse forms:the interaction between cultural production and reproduction, cultural productive force and cultural productive relationship, cultural industry and cultural undertaking. Since the subject and serving clients of cultural production is humanbeings, what cultural production practice for is also humanbeings, so the purpose of promoting the development of cultural productive forces should back to humanbeings, those which ignore or deny humanbeings'creative force will eventually go against the law of cultural production.
