The Historical Materialism Base And The Topics Of Epoch Of The Idea Concerning Personal Overall Development

The supreme goal of Carl Marx is to realize Communism which is characterizedby Personal free and overall development. Materialist conception of history persistson its concerns for the emancipation as well as the free and overall development ofperson. To take personal overall development theory as an internal part of the systemof Materialist conception of history is helpful to improve its research level. To explorethe problems of Personal development and to interpret materialist conception ofhistory from the perspective of Personal overall development, we can demonstrate theintegrity of the system of the materialist conception of history and the richness of itscontents. In doing that, it is also beneficial to construct the temporal system ofmaterialist conception of history and Personal development theory.The change of the times and the increasing social contradictions bringunpredictable challenges. The bad influences of market economy result inmaterialization, distortion of man’s nature, the alienation of the value of human lifeand the pluralism of the value orientation among people of different social status. Theinequality of the access to resource and wealth between people causes a newdifferentiation. Since the distribution of education and job resources is unbalanced,there is no equality in the process of getting education and employment. The negativeinfluence of feudal privilege value and the value of the capitalist private ownershipstill exist. The traditional virtue and the public morality fall greatly. The modernsociety lacks humane care and there appears trust crisis among people. The exclusivepursue of economical growth and the anthropocentricism lead to over consumption ofresources and the deterioration of the environment.Materialist conception of history reveals that the origin of the contradictions ofsocial risks and the challenges of the reform of the times is the mode of production.The contradictions and the challenges are the external manifestation of thecontradictory movement between productivity and the relations of production. Therefore, to resolve the contradictions of the social risks and to respond to thechallenges of the reform of the times, we must rely on the development of the modeof production which is indispensible in solving this problem. Materialist conception ofhistory provides us the theoretical foundation and principles of the fundamentalmethodology. We should continue to follow the basic principles of materialistconception of history, associate the historical background and the objective practicesand take the present historical conditions and social relationship as practical cut-inpoint. We should improve the market economy system, enhance people’s subjectstatus, and stop regarding money as the criterion to decide people’s social relationshipand their needs so that we can overcome materialization. In order to prevent furthersocial differentiations, we should optimize the allocation of resources, promotecommon prosperity and distribute social wealth reasonably. We should press aheadwith the balanced development of education and improve people’s quality andknowledge. Everyone is equal in front of the employment opportunities and their rightto work should be protected. We should press forward the construction of socialistcore value system and refrain from confusion and spiritual disorientation. We shouldenhance the construction of democracy and the rule of law, promote equity and justice,and in so doing offer a good social environment for people’s development. Theadvancement of information technology broadens the scope of communication, andreinforces the closeness between people. It helps the person to gain the fruit of theadvanced civilization, lift their starting point, and make up the limitation of Personallife and ability. In order to improve people’s spiritual accomplishment and regulatetheir behavior, we should learn from the traditional culture in which people put muchstress on morality and inner cultivation and strengthen the guiding effect ofphilosophy which could induct people to establish right belief with its transcendenceand its criticalness. While constructing the socialist ecological civilization, we shouldtry to enhance harmony between man and nature, pursue the integration of theeconomic and ecological results and implement the strategy of sustainabledevelopment. The effort we are making to solve the historical issues of Personaloverall development is beneficial to enrich Marx’s theory of the overall development of person and to make it adapt to China’s realities and the tendency of the day.
