文艺的本质问题是文艺的本体性问题,对此,马克思主义经典作家和文艺理论家们已有了许多科学的论述。正确而深刻地认识这个问题,是繁荣和发展我国社会主义文艺事业的重大理论前提,对于文艺的实践,文艺的评价,以及文艺运动的发展,都起着根本的指导作用。几十年来,我国无产阶级文艺,就是在马克思主义文艺理论的光辉指引下,取得了许许多多巨大的成就。 The essence of literature and art is the issue of the noumenon of literature and art, for which Marxist classics and literary theorists have had many scientific expositions. Correctly and profoundly understanding this issue is a major theoretical premise for prospering and developing our country’s socialist literature and art. It plays a fundamental guiding role in the practice of literature and art, the evaluation of literature and art, and the development of the literary movement. For decades, the proletarian literature and art in our country has made many great achievements under the glorious guidance of the Marxist theory of literature and art.
