Aggregation of Individuals'Free Development——Examining the Concept of Community from the Perspective of Historical Materialism
The relationship between individuals and the community serves as a crucial thread to grasp the social and historical development laws from the perspective of historical materialism.With a liberal stance rooted in individualism or a communitarian stance addressing moral challenges of individualism,western scholars frame the community as opposite to individuals or as a phased approach in historical development or the ultimate moral goal resisting the crises of modernity.The historical materialism holds that human survival and development cannot be separated from the organic unity between individuals and the commu-nity.The"aggregation of free individuals"represents the ultimate form of the comprehensive and free de-velopment of individuals.The community of a shared future for mankind,the community of life for man and nature,and the community with a shared future for cyberspace are rational forms of Marxist communi-ty theory in contemporary global governance,ecological civilization,and digital civilization,which em-bodies the dialectical unity of the regularity of historical materialism with the purposefulness of modern human civilization,and serves as concrete practices of exploring solutions to 21st-century global govern-ance.
