马克思、恩格斯提出的关于现代社会历史的、系统的分析模式为经典社会理论提供了模型。马克思主义理论持久的贡献在于它的历史社会分析模式以及它对现代社会结构、矛盾和可能性的洞见。恩格斯比马克思更早关注到现代社会与前现代社会的差异,他将目光集中在资本主义创立新社会的构成性作用上,并先于马克思分析了现代社会的历史起源、新奇性和断裂。作为经典社会理论的创始人之一,恩格斯对马克思主义理论的发展作出了决定性的贡献,理应受到更多的赞誉。 Marx and Engels proposed a systematic analysis model of the history of modern society that provided a model for classical social theory. The lasting contribution of Marxist theory lies in its historical and social analysis model as well as its insight into the structure, contradictions and possibilities of modern society. Earlier, Engelsby Marx paid close attention to the differences between modern society and pre-modern society. He focused his attention on the constitutive role of capitalism in establishing a new society and analyzed the historical origins, novelties and ruptures of modern society before Marx. As one of the founders of classical social theory, Engels made a decisive contribution to the development of Marxist theory and deserved more praise.
