A Study Of Marx’s World Historytheory In Germen Ideology

Marx and Engels co-authored one book called "German Ideology" 150 years ago, who first proposed and focuses on "world history" thought. Marx said, "world history" is not the usual sense of the history of the world history or the history of mankind, but refers to various nationalities, countries entered into the interdependence, mutual restriction and penetration conditions due to productivity and general development exchanges, which has prompted the world integration history. Although Marx referred to that it is not the same thing for the "world history" and the "globalization". But the world history thought is still significant for our understanding and analysis of the globalization of today. It highlighted Marx’s world history theory. Marx’s world history thought couldn’t be produced without the society of that time. The transition from history to world history was promoted by a powerful force of multiple social factors. Marx’s world history thought is the result of inheriting the achievements of predecessors critically, including the eighteenth Century enlightenment and Kant, Hagel’s world history theory, among which Hagel’s world history theory has great influence. Marx’s world history thought was embodied in the works of "German Ideology" and "the Communist Manifesto" and other early works. In the related works,It tells us the Marx’s world history concept includes two aspects: human society overall relationship and personal liberation and development degree. The bourgeoisie created the history of the world, showing great role during the formation of the world history. However, the history of the world does not belong to the bourgeois, on the contrary, proletariat is the main body of the world history. The basic trend of development of world history is the inevitable trend to the creation of the Communist era of world history by the proletariat. Although Marx did not use the term "globalization" but he used the "world history" to express the same meaning which have a high degree of correlation. Research on Marx’s thought of world history has important theoretical and practical significance for promoting the understanding and analysis of the development of the contemporary society of world history.
