Marx's late year refer to the period eding from l87l whe he retiredto his sanCtUIn to l883 M he. passed aWay His materialist concePtion ofhistory was severely challenged due to the adjustment of bourgeois rUingpolicies, new featUrs of econmp crisis and Proletariat StrUgle being introuble. wnle at the same tfor, WeSt EUroPean culbo anthrOPology began aPrOSPerous period, which tw revealed some defects of materialconcePtion of histOry and Provided som chanes for its twvemen. Marxgradually realized tha human history could not be scientifically exPlainedonly on the basis of logical deduedon due to its comPexty while by resortingto positive analysis it could be. Therefore, though Marx was often ill in hislate years, he began his ardUOUS StUdy on the Pre-histmp society and on everyPhase of hUman society rue westem revolution was on the decline, Russiarevolution was on the uPsurg. Under the rePeated requests of therevolutionists of Russian poPulism, he exPlored the fuwt of Russian coUnnycommune.On the basis of the achievements by Morgan and othe anthrpologists,Marx Understood fully tha Production of human society itself played adeciding role in the Pre-history He recognized tha clan, the earieStorgAnZation in hUInan society was previous to individual fhaly and he usedpdritive society to take place Asian Production mode as the original state, bywhich he solved the Problem of "where the hUman society came from". ThUSthe clear understanding of the Starting point of hUman society enabled him tQbuild his arg'Umentaion of the temPorality of private ownershiP on a scientificbasis. ThIough luCUbating the fate of Rusian coUntry comxnune, he focusedhis earlier descriPtion of the origin of caPitalism in his book On CaPital onwest Eurpe and pointed out tha Russian coUntry cotnmun could leaP overthe assUInPton of caPitalism. On the basis of researches on Pre-hiStory and3eta coUntw cornmune and in the Preface of Critics on PoIiticaI Economicswritten in the late l850s, he revised his idea tha the progress of humansociety followed a mongline mode and hoer improved his theory on socialcondgUraton.The new discoveries on matCrialist concePtion by Marx in his lateyears indicated tha Marxist classic writers innovated their theories with thedevelopmen of Practice instead of adhering tO theories in existence. His newdiscoveries are Precious SPtw values in the coure of building oursocialism ed Chinse charaCteristics. Marx's scientific, PraCcal andrevolutoM sptrit in deePening, developing and imPrving materialistconcePion of histOry in his 1ate years Pfovides us with sPirituaJ imPet'Us tooPPose doctrinism and cny out innovation in sociaiism modendZation. Hisscientific argUInentation on the temPorality of Private ownership and hiseXPloration of the special Ways for the develoPmen of Russian coUntrycommune Provide us with theoretical basis for the socialism revolution andconSwton, Which is of great sigrilficance fOr fighting wh vdrious trends ofthough against socialism and strengthening the belief of coInmedsm. Hisdiscussion on absorbing all the positive achievements of caPhalism Providesus with theoretical gudance for sticking tO opening-uP.
