On the Indifference of History and the Morality of the Subject
The series of questions represented by the Tuck-Wood proposition are whether the materialist view of history has a concept of justice and what kind of concept of justice it has.The two sides who have disagreements on whether Marx's criticism of cap-italism is based on morality often overlook that the subject of morality should be the real person.If history is taken as the subject and"normal"at the level of laws is interpreted as"justice"in terms of ethics,the subjectivity of historical movements will be completely detached,and the reality will be interpreted as the should be;If we simply emphasize the morality of using human subjects and extend it to the discourse on the laws of historical movement,it will downgrade historical materialism to traditional moral theory and undermine the scientificity of its historical research.Correctly grasping the decisive and selective tension in the materialist view of history is the key to avoiding these two tendencies.
