马克思社会形态问题成为一个横跨三个世纪的公案,而“三形态”还是“五形态”时至今日也无统一说法;而笔者要表明,第一,“三形态”与“五形态”不是绝对的对立物。第二,“三形态”与“五形态”是方法与结论的统一。第三,在内容上也是统一的;对于苏联教科书必须承认它确实存在这方面或那方面的不足,但问题不完全在教科书上,而是在我们的方法论上。 The issue of Marx’s social formation has become a public case that has lasted for three centuries, and there is no unification between today’s and the “three forms” or “five forms.” However, I must point out that “the three forms” And “five forms ” is not the absolute opposite. Second, “three forms ” and “five forms ” is the unity of methods and conclusions. Thirdly, it is also uniform in content. For the Soviet textbook, it must admit that it does have some deficiencies in this respect or that. However, the problem is not entirely in textbooks but in our methodology.
