历史唯物主义由马克思恩格斯共同创立,其性质争议不断一直为学界所讨论。马克思的文本中曾明确对自己创建的学说的性质和哲学与科学的关系有过相关的描述。但是哲学应如何定义,科学如何定义,二者又如何区别。考茨基、普列汉诺夫、葛兰西、卢卡奇、科而施等第二国际理论家和西方马克思主义者们就这个问题进行了很多的讨论,却依然没有定论。最后,我们返本固元,就黑格尔对其研究对象性质的定义为唯物主义历史观下了关于其性质的定论。 Historical materialism co-founded by Marx and Engels, the nature of controversy has been discussed for the academic community. In Marx’s text, it has been clearly stated that the nature of the doctrine created by him and the relationship between philosophy and science are related. However, how to define philosophy, how science is defined, and how the two differ from each other. The discussions between the Second International Theorists such as Kautsky, Plekhanov, Gramsci, Lukács, Kersch, and Western Marxists on this issue are still inconclusive. Finally, we return to Ben-Guanyuan, concluding that Hegel’s definition of the nature of his research object as a materialist view of history underlies its nature.
