| Marx’s theory of world history is a very rich theoretical system and the important component of Marx’s Historical Materialism, while Marxist theory of people’s free and overall development is the core of the Marxist theory. Many scholars study the two theories from various points of view, but few connect them. This paper combines the two and re-examines human’s development question from the perspective of world history. It not only elaborates human development thought in the theory of world history from the static state, but also analyzes the interrelationships between the formation and development of world history and human development from the dynamic state. And it further demonstrates the way to realize people’s free and overall development in today’s world historical conditions. Investigating human’s development issue from the view of world history has important value and significance to the construction practice of the Chinese socialist modernization.The introduction of this paper mainly introduces the background, purpose, meaning of the research, then summarizes the present situation at home and abroad, and then illustrates the method and idea of research. The text of this thesis is divided into three parts: the first part expounds the formation of people’s free and overall development theory from the perspective of social background and historical trajectory; The second part explains the internal relations between Marxist theory of world history and human development through the analysis of human development thought in the world history theory and the interaction between the formation and development of world history and human development; The third part illustrates the pathway to make people’s free and overall development come true in today’s world historical situations both in the national and individual angles. |
