The Historical View of Masses of Marxism as the Unity of World View and Methodology
The historical view of masses was put forward by Marx and Engels in the debate with speculative idealism in The Holy Family.As a world view,it reveals the social and historical prescriptiveness of the proletariat and the regularity of the historical development of human society by pointing out the relationship between the masses and consciousness,the masses and matter,and the masses and the realization of human liberation.As a methodology,by guiding the specific path,method of struggle and corresponding means of the proletariat's liberation of man,it reveals the importance of theoretical mastery of the masses and the necessity of the masses being organized by the proletarian party.The historical view of masses of Marxism is a powerful theoretical weapon for systematic criticism of the historical view of heroes as the unity of world view and methodology.The historical view of masses is a scientific theoretical system"casting from a single piece of steel,"and it guides the revolutionary practice of the proletariat as the unification of a"great tool of knowledge"and a"living guide to action."Therefore,it is"the decisive thing"in the early thought of Marx and Engels.It played an ideological precursor and theoretical support role in the process of creating historical materialism.The historical view of masses is the theoretical source of Communist Party of China's adherence to the people's position in the process of Sinicization of Marxism.It not only helps to solve the viewpoint of opposing party nature,class nature,and people's subjectivity;it enables the CPC to recognize its own historical mission and reflects its theoretical consciousness as a proletarian party;it also helps to prevent the adverse effects of Western populist ideological trends and walks out of a path of"people-centered"development.
