The World History Of Marx And It’s Significance

There are profound ideological origins and practical conditions in the production of Marx’s theory of world history. Marx pays close attention to historical ideas of early western thinkers like Vico, Saint-Simon and criticizes and inherits Hegel’s view of world history, which in the ideology makes preparations for the creation of the world history view. The creation of Marx’s world history theory is also based on the historical condition at that time. After the Industrial Revolution, large-scale socialized production greatly promoted the rapid development of capitalism, and global communication is established. Driven by the Industrial Revolution, the society has been split into two opposing classes and the proletariat shoulders the historical mission of liberation of all mankind, which becomes the class basis of the creation of world history. The formation of Marx’s world history theory has gone through three stages. In the period Kreuznach, Marx began to make ideological preparations for the World History Theory. "1844 Manuscript" and "German Ideology" suggested the formation of the World History Theory. In his later years, Marx put forward leapfrog development theory by deeply analyzing the capitalist system and studying the Russian commune old age problems, enabling the theory of world history continually developing.World History, in the eyes of Marx, mainly refers to the history since various ethnic groups, countries and regions influenced one another and the world integrated.It is philosophical history which based on the productive development and the universal exchange. Bourgeoisie positively expands overseas colonies by the use of capital expansivity to form the world market, thus creating a history of the world. But since the inherent contradiction of capitalism determines the inevitable demise of capitalist system, and the proletariat is the real subject of World History, the final trend of World History development is communism, which is, in essence, to achieve the liberation of all mankind. Through the study of Russian rural communes problem,Marx made explanation to the road of eastern social development, which is that backward nations could go beyond the level of productive forces development under certain conditions to establish more advanced production relations, in another word, "Kraft Ding Canyon " over capitalism. This theory owns distinctive characteristics,namely practicalness, times and humanism.This theory, which has fully realized the revolution of the Hegelian WorldHistory theory, enriches and develops Marxist materialism and has very important theoretical value. Meanwhile, quite profound methodology contained in Marx’s World History theory affords scientific research methods for people’s researching the historical development of human society. In addition, Marx’s World History theory is the forward-looking discussion of globalization and its patterns and trends, and plays a guiding role in achieving leapfrog development in developing countries’ participating in globalization and in achieving productivity. Marx’s World History not only helps developing countries to seize the opportunities and face the challenges in today’s globalization, but also helps our country constantly improve the socialist road with Chinese characteristics in practice.
