The Evolutionary Course Of Engels’ Theory Of Religious Essence And Its Contemporary Value Research

Religion is a social and historical cultural phenomenon that appears when human society develops to a certain stage.The origin and conditions of the emergence and development of religion not only need to be based on the objective natural existence,but also need to rely on the subjective consciousness of human beings.Due to the differences in social backgrounds,there must be inevitable qualitative and quantitative differences in the understanding and understanding of religion by individuals or groups with people as a unit,and the issue of the "essence" of religion is the core of clarifying the connotation of "religion".Therefore,it is self-evident that it is important to study the relevant knowledge and theories surrounding the nature of religion.The critical study of religious issues is not only the beginning of Marx and Engels’ theoretical and practical activities,but also runs through their revolutionary careers throughout their lives.In particular,Engels devoted more energy to this and left more book.This paper takes Engels’ criticism of religion as the fundamental research perspective,takes Engels’ understanding of the essence of religion as a direct entry point,and uses dynamic research methods to observe Engels’ s theory of religious essence,and takes the evolution history of his theory as a key point of inspection.Following the temporal context,the book outlines the historical logic,theoretical logic and practical logic of Engels’ s religious essentialism,and demonstrates the rationality of taking Engels’ s religious essential-ism as a developmental theory.” has made an in-depth study of the corresponding content.In terms of research content,this paper first discusses the historical conditions for the emergence of Engels’ s religious essentialism,including cultural traditions,social reality and modern trends of thought;secondly,it expounds the specific process of the evolution of Engels’ religious essentialism.The three important stages are "imaginary fictional illusion","result of economic production" and "product of social history".Then,this paper further explains the contemporary value content that can be extended from the historical evolution of Engels’ s religious essentialism as a developmental theory: including the contemporary significance provided by the subsequent development of Engels’ s religious essentialism in the Soviet Union and China for the new theory,the theoretical The important basic principles confirmed by the internal logic of evolution,as well as the logical experience of theoretical evolution,provide realistic inspiration for our country to carry out religious work,cultivate religious teams,and develop religious theory.
