Historical Materialism and Social Structural Issues
Historical materialism's exploration of social structural issues primarily focuses on society in its broadest sense-a macro social system encompassing the totality of human life.The division of different fields within this system reveals its general composition,while the multilevel analytical framework proposed by earlier writ-ers of Marxist classics further uncovers the key mechanisms that organically link these fields.Simultaneously,a complex web of varied relationships and connections intertwines,creating a dynamic network of interactions.Beyond the fundamental realms of economics,politics,and culture,the so-called"social sphere"in a narro-wer sense refers to the existence of individuals within the social system,which must be understood through the relationship between social subjects and social objects.In the"ecological sphere,"the focus shifts to the con-nection between the human society and the natural world-two interrelated systems whose unique significance warrants careful consideration.
