Nationality refers to the national spirit and the spirit of the times that the nation states formed in the long-term unique natural environment and social practice.Speculative nationality refers to the interpretation of the world in a purely theoretical manner in the generational character of nationality and the construction of a political state with sophistry.Speculative nationality has become the mode of existence of the German nation in modern times,and it has become a ideological source that comprehensively reflects the German world outlook,outlook on life,and values.Germany's speculative nationalism has infiltrated the entire period of modern German modernity and is a fusion of modern German national spirit and the spirit of the times.The young Marx and Engels considered the question of nationality as an important factor influencing the political practice of the nation-state.They used Germany,Britain,and France in the transformation of modernity as the objects of comparison and examined and criticized the difference in nationality.Due to the fragmented political atmosphere full of theological atmosphere and backward economic development,the development of German capitalism modernity lags behind that of England and France.The Germans explored new ways to support the modernity of the German nation with speculative nationality,and to modernize the spirit in a thorough and thoughtful manner.Speculative nationality has made the German nation quite successful in the spiritual field.The classical German philosophy represented by Kant and Hegel has become the spiritual treasure of the history of the world and has exerted an important influence on the historical materialism of Marx and Engels.Due to the influence of the religious theology of the "Holy Roman Empire",German nationality was heavily devout and discriminatory when confronted with modernity,which enabled the Germans to experience the future of national modernity in their thoughts.During the period of German modernity,bourgeois intellectuals pursued modernity and constructed their national identity,and at the same time speculatively launched religious culture criticism,political system reconstruction,and modern economic conception.In the theoretical criticism and political practice,the young Marx and Engels discovered that purely speculative nationality cannot escape from the social system dilemma,and the political liberation of the bourgeoisie cannot overcome the poverty problem in the modern world.Therefore,they advocated exceeding Germany's speculative nationality,combining the philosophical mind with the heart of the proletariat,liberating the German state from purely speculative nationality through the proletarian social revolution,and replacing “political liberation” with “human liberation”.Beyond the shortcomings in the development of the modernity of Britain and France.he young Marx and Engels,through the critique of the German nature of speculative thinking,have completed the transformation from idealism to materialism and revolutionary democracy to communism.
