Research From The Dimension Of Subject On The Historical Laws

The problem of the relationship between the historical laws and the initiative activities of people has always been one of the hot and difficult problems what the domestic and foreign academics and theorists concerned for a long time, and this Sphinx riddle of historical development is always lingering in the minds of the people.The philosophers before Marx never really solved the riddle of the historical development, because they do not unify the historical laws and the initiative activities of people. Only Marx through proceed from the “Real man” and their practice of material production, and put the historical laws based on the initiative activities of people, scientifically explains the dialectical relations between the historical laws and the initiative activities of people: “Real man” is the subject of history; material production is the foundation of human society, the internal contradictions of production mode is the driving force of historical development; history is people's social activity expanded in time, the historical laws are the laws of human activities; they are dialectical united relationship in the process of historical development. However, Marx's scientific theory received various distorted and misunderstood after Marx, then for a long time, there has always been "see things but not people" and “Voluntarism” two extreme misunderstanding.Therefore, this paper attempts from the perspective of the historical subject, from “Real man” and their activities of material production starting, deep into the interior of society, to explore the mystery of the historical development. The paper holds that the right key to understanding the historical laws is that to put the laws into the subjective initiative activity to understand, to discover the objective laws of historical development from human activities. The true historical development shows: History is created by human activities, the historical development is driven by human activities, historical laws, in essence, are the laws of human activities. Historical laws are inseparable from human activities, and human activities take the historical laws as its premise and foundation, they are dialectical united relationship in the process of historical development.Only from the perspective of historical subject illustrates the historical laws, to understand the role of people in the social and historical development fully and accurately, to completely and accurately grasp the scientific essence of Marx's theory of historical laws; to overcome the two extreme misinterpretation of history's long-standing presence; on this basis, keep the right direction of Marxist theory's study; and in practice, effectively handle the dialectical relationship between the historical laws and human activities, give full play to people's subjective initiative, and to guide the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
