Exploration on the Issue of the Driving Force of Historical Development
The study of the driving force of historical development has always been the subject of philosophers.An-cient philosophers generally paid attention to God and nature,but mostly ignored the value and role of human beings.Since modern times,philosophers emphasized the status and role of human beings.Kant especially attached importance to human rationality.They generally believe that"evil"is the driving force of historical development,that it is the evil desire of human beings to promote the progress of history.Marx and Engels summarized and sublimated the views of modern philosophers.They pointed out that productive forces are the fundamental driving force of social development,and put forward the view of historical synergy theory,which is a relatively complete answer to the issue of historical development driving force.Western Marxists combined with the background of the times and formed two schools of humanism and scientism to explain the mo-tive force of historical development.
