Research On Marx’s World History Theory And Its Guiding Significance To The "The Belt And Road" Initiative

Marx’s world history theory is the core component of Marx’s historical materialism,which studies the process of various nations in the world moving towards a unity of mutual connection and influence.The needs of geographical discoveries,industrial revolutions,and proletarian revolutions provided a practical foundation for the transformation of history into world history.Philosophers such as Vico,Voltaire,and Kant laid the theoretical foundation for the study of world history,while Hegel’s theory of world history is the most direct theoretical source of Marx’s theory of world history.However,Hegel spent his entire life studying the "absolute spirit",and Marx exposed the mysterious veil of the "absolute spirit",laying the development of world history on the materialistic foundation of socialized mass production.Marx’s theory of world history is a process of development from immaturity to gradual maturity.The completion of Croznach’s Notes and Paris Notes marks the transformation of Marx’s thought from idealism to materialism and from revolutionary democracy to communism.In "German Ideology",Marx provided a preliminary theoretical summary of the concept of "world history" for the first time.In the Communist Manifesto,Marx’s ideas on world history had a rough outline.Later,through in-depth research on capitalist society,Marx revealed the inherent laws and trends of capitalist development in "Capital",achieving the specific development of world history theory.The "Notes on the Road of Russia and Eastern Society" delves into the diversity and unity of the world’s historical development path,and the exploration of the Russian social development path provides important thinking and interpretation for solving the problems of the world’s historical development path.The relationship between world history and national history,as well as the issue of human development and liberation,are fundamental issues in Marx’s theory of world history.On the basis of studying these two basic issues,Marx delved into the mechanism of the transition from history to world history,as well as the main characteristics and ultimate trends of world history development.He revealed the driving force and process of world history development,and analyzed the basic characteristics of world history development.In addition,Marx also analyzed the historical development issues of Eastern countries in India and China,and envisioned the Russian commune crossing the capitalist Caudine Canyon.Nowadays,economic globalization has become an unstoppable trend in the world development trend,but the world economy has shown a slower growth rate.At the same time,the world political landscape has undergone profound changes,and the international order is also facing challenges.In order to meet the new challenges of globalization,solve new world problems,and constantly promote the in-depth and orderly progress of globalization,China has clearly put forward the "the Belt and Road" initiative in 2013.Marx’s world history theory not only provides methodological guidance for the construction of the "the Belt and Road",but also proposes a practical path for the "the Belt and Road".
