Marx's Theory of Historical Premise Determinism and Its Innovative Form in Chinese-Style Modernization
A premise serves as the precondition and foundation for the evolution of things and human actions.Determination is the process by which one thing conditions another,uniting the latter with the former.The proposition in The German Ideology that"the first premise of all human history is the existence of living individuals"positions the"existence of living individuals"as the decisive,overarching,and pervasive force throughout human history.It defines the creation of this historical premise as the essence of all human history,and the range of intrinsic requirements and satisfied activities that make this premise possible as the scope of all human history.Based on this,Marx's theory of historical premise determinism emerges as an original form of historical determinism,effectively dispelling misunderstandings and criticisms of Marx's historical determinism.Entering a new era,the modernization drive of socialism with Chinese characteristics centralizes"people first"principles across its entire content and processes,establishing"the existence and development of the people"as the prem-ise enabling this new historical era.This creates a people-centered form of historical premise determin-ism,establishing an innovative form of Marx's historical premise determinism within Chinese-style modernization.
