Marx's Theory Of World History And Its Contemporary Value

With the continuous development of globalization,today's world is increasingly becoming an interconnected and interdependent whole.The development trend of globalization confirms the scientificity and contemporaneity of Marx's world history theory.Today,the world history is developing in a deeper and wider direction.At the same time,the world history is also facing a series of difficulties and challenges.Terrorism,hegemonism,cultural colonization,environmental pollution and other global problems hinder the development of the world history.However,the global governance model advocated by western countries cannot solve these problems due to their own limitations.In this context,it is of great significance to study the theory of world history and its contemporary value for solving the global problems and guiding the construction of Chinese modernity.Taking historical materialism as the basic methodology,this paper makes a deep research on the ideological source,formation process,basic content,value significance and contemporary innovation of Marx's world history theory.First of all,it expounds the ideological source,formation and development process of Marx's world history theory.Marx absorbed the world history thoughts of thinkers during the enlightenment,Hegel and utopian socialism,and formed his own world history theory on the basis of critical inheritance.In absorbing the rational elements of Enlightenment thinkers,Marx formed the preliminary concept of world history,and overcame their erroneous views such as "historical cycle theory";on the basis of criticizing Hegel's idealistic view of history,he established the materialistic thought of world history and sublated Hegel's thought of world history from the aspects of its foundation,power and development trend;on the basis of overcoming the disadvantages of utopian socialism,he pointed out the ultimate trend of world history development.Secondly,it analyzes the basic content of Marx's world history theory,including the generation and power of world history,the contradiction and dilemma of world history,the development and trend of world history.Marx pointed out that the fundamental driving force for the formation of world history comes from the development of productive forces and the expansion of universal communication under the guidance of capital logic.The nature of capital's pursuit of surplus value promotes the expansion of capital in the global scope,and then promotes the expansion of capitalist mode of production in the global scope and the formation of the world market.The formation of the world market promotes the communication between nations.On this basis,history gradually changes to the world history.Marx fully affirmed the important role of the bourgeoisie in the creation of world history,but also exposed the inherent disadvantages of capitalism.The contradiction between the socialization of capitalist production and the private ownership of means of production led to the world economic crisis.The exploitation and oppression of the bourgeoisie in the global scope led to the opposition between the two classes in the world.The colonial expansion of capitalist countries led to the unbalanced development of the world.The capitalist mode of production limit the free and all-round development of human beings in the world,which have seriously hindered the process of world history.While criticizing the above malpractices of capitalism,Marx also pointed out the ultimate trend of world history,that is,to realize the Communist society.Marx expounded the significance of the realization of communism.Communism overcame the limitations of capitalism,and will make it possible for everyone to develop freely and comprehensively,which is the ultimate trend of the development of world history.Thirdly,it expounds the value significance of Marx's world history theory.In the theoretical sense,Marx's world history theory has changed the world history thought of western traditional philosophy,deepened the world history dimension of historical materialism,and opened up the research field of Sinicization of Marxism from the perspective of world history.In practical sense,Marx's world history theory can promote the development of international order in a more just and reasonable direction,point out the direction for the further development of economic globalization,and actively guide the correct construction of Chinese modernity.Finally,it points out the contemporary innovation of Marx's world history theory,and clarifies the internal relationship between the construction of a community of human destiny and Marx's world history theory.On the basis of inheriting Marx's theory of world history,the community of human destiny innovates and develops it so that Marx's theory of world history can better meet the needs of the development of the times.The community of human destiny innovates Marx's theory of world history from three aspects of objective content: in the aspect of content,it realizes the plan from the revelation of general characteristics to the realistic plan,and gives the concrete construction content from partnership,security pattern,economic development,civilization exchange,ecological construction;in the aspect of thinking mode,it abandons the single social form,emphasizing multiple harmonious symbiosis;in terms of strategy,it oppose institutional revolution and advocate good global governance.
