The Research On The Evolution Of Modern Materialism

How to understand the "Materialism" in Historical Materialism? This is an important problem in basic subject of Marx’s philosophy and the academic circles discussed.On this issue in-depth study of people cannot do without necessary combing or relationship analysis about the history of evolution of "Materialism" thought.We need to make it clear that the development of modern Mechanical Materialism,Feuerbach’s Humanistic Materialism to Historical Materialism and mutual relations.Based on brief tracing from ancient Greece Materialism to Historical Materialism,firstly on the outstanding representative of eighteenth Century French Materialism--Holbach--for example,we analyze the theoretical pointing,the core and influence on Marxism of modern Mechanical Materialism theory.We especially deeply analyze that the Second International’s degenerative understanding of Historical Materialism on the influence of the Mechanical Materialism.Then,based on in-depth analysis of that how Feuerbach criticizes Hagel’s speculative philosophy and surpasses the Mechanical Materialism,the thesis analyzes “the principle of new philosophy”of his Humanistic Materialism--"Sensuous-Objectivity Principle”,and also analyzes the positive enlightenment of Humanistic Materialism for Marx.At last,the thesis analyzes the limitation of Feuerbach’s Humanistic Materialism,reveals that the Historical Materialism positively sublates the previous two kinds of materialism,and clarifies the theoretical potential and revolutionary strength after the the organic integration of “History” and “Materialism”with the help of the core idea that" Sensuous-Objectivity Activity or Practice”.In a word,through combing theoretical nature and development of the three forms of modern "Materialism",clarifying their relationship,especially revealing that how the Second International makes degenerative understanding on the influence of Mechanical Materialism and discussing that how Marx overcomes Feuerbach’s Humanistic Materialism’s predicament,we can have a better understanding about that how the Historical Materialism criticizes and absorbs the previous materialism theories.Meanwhile,we can further better understand the theoretical origins,profound connotation and the revolution of philosophy of Historical Materialism,especiallydeeply understand the the theoretical potential and revolutionary strength that the"Sensuous-Objectivity Activity or Practice”,as the basis of Historical Materialism,implies.
