Li Da’s Interpretation Of Historical Materialism

The central idea of the materialist conception of history is the reality of man and his historical development.During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,under the influence of Western thought,the early pioneers of Chinese Marxism,such as Li Dazhao,Chen Duxiu and Li Da,contributed to the spread and development of Marxism,and with the founding of the Chinese Communist Party,the materialist view of history was put into practice.Among them,Li Da’s contribution to the materialistic view of history was important and representative.Based on the political situation in China at the time,Li Da relied on the relevant treatises of the Marxist classics to interpret and Chineseize the materialist view of history during his nearly half-century career in Marxist philosophy.To explore Li Da’s interpretation of the materialist conception of history,it is first necessary to understand the actual context in which he adopted and propagated the idea of the materialist conception of history;secondly,it is important to understand the characteristics of Li Da’s thought,starting from the relevant discourses of his classics;and finally,it is important to recognise that Li Da’s idea of the materialist conception of history has realistic and inspiring implications.Li Da’s acceptance and interpretation of the materialist conception of history was closely related to the historical conditions of the time,and was the result of a combination of the macro background at home and abroad and Li Da’s personal intellectual journey.At home,the movement for salvation and survival inspired by the invasion of the Great Powers was the direct impetus for Li Da to seek a way out for his country.Abroad,the advanced thinking represented by Marxism provided the direct ideological resources for Li Da’s ideological transformation after the October Revolution.Specifically,Li Da combined Marxist philosophy,economics,law and sociology to elaborate on the idea of a materialistic view of history.In the field of Marxist philosophy,Li Da has comprehensively elaborated the materialistic view of history,firmly promoting the development of materialist dialectics and the Chineseisation of Marxist philosophy in doctrinal terms.In the field of economics,the materialistic view of history is interpreted as a guide to various socio-economic constructions and the exploration of solutions to economic problems.Li Da has applied the materialistic view of history to legal studies and explored various jurisprudential issues.To further promote the Chineseisation of the materialistic view of history,Li Da combined it with solutions to the practical problems of China at the time and played an important role in the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party and the choice of the path to socialism.Li Da’s interpretation of the materialistic view of history was developed in conjunction with the historical period,inheriting the critical character of Marxist philosophy and interpreting the use of the materialistic view of history from multiple perspectives.With the development of the times,coupled with the inherent differences in our national context,to explore the significance of the innovative practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in China,it is necessary to critically assimilate the theory and learn from it,based on the full integration of our domestic reality,so as to fully recognise its key role in the practice of our masses.
