The Historical Narrative of Historical Materialism:An Examination Based on Das Kapital
The traditional historical narrative reflects or critiques the historical process in an abstract manner,failing to accu-rately depict the material production mode and contradictory social relations that underlie it.This approach is fundamentally subordi-nate to the idealistic view of history.However,Marx's introduction of the new worldview of historical materialism offers a social dy-namic mechanism for understanding the historical process.Building upon this foundation,Das Kapital thoroughly reveals the histori-cal content and transcendence of modern capital development.It also highlights the historical milestone of human liberation that goes beyond the logic of capital and paves the way for proletarian revolution in the historical narrative.Through its critique of political e-conomy,Das Kapital scientifically analyzes the historical context,development mechanisms,and trends of capitalist society.It thus establishes the primary context of proletarian liberation as the form of revolution.
