Marx’s Theory Of World History And Its Contemporary Significance

The theory of world history is one of Marx’s most important theoretical achievements,and an important theoretical component of Marx’s materialism.It is based on the ideas of Vico and Hegel,taking the "realistic individual" as the fundamental starting point.The liberation of mankind is the ultimate destination.Although production and practice activities,a new path of liberation and development of mankind is explored.At the same time,it also provides a "world history" vision that dialectically solves the common development of all mankind from the overall perspective.The history of Marx’s world was born in a capitalist society,and has experienced a logical development process from immaturity to maturity,revealing that the driving force of world history is the driving force of productivity and universal communication.Under the background of the time when the capitalist mode of production was contradictory,the transformation of history into world history was accomplished.Although world history is the pioneer of capitalist society,the self-denial of capital determines that the development of world history does not stop there.Its ultimate development trend will be to realize the international united communism centered on the free development and liberation of all mankind.Therefore,human liberation and development constitute the core idea of world history theory,and its development process is inherently consistent with the development process of world history.Nowadays,Marx’s world history theory is endowed with extremely profound foresight.Compared with the past more than one hundred years ago,Marx’s world history theory still has time value and reference significance.Based on the national conditions,and under the premise of being cautious about the practical significance given by Marx’s theory of world history in the current era,China has successively proposed to build a community with a shared future for mankind,follow the development path of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and firmly serve the people.The life’s hard work of historical theory is also a perfect interpretation of the development trend of historical theory in the world today,and then promotes the all-round development of people in the practice of communism.
