马克思在其《德意志意识形态》中第一次完整系统地确立了一种不同既往的崭新的历史观——唯物主义历史观。这是它的两大发现之一,具有着广泛而深刻的伟大意义。然而这一新历史观的宏伟大厦之所以得以建成,则有赖于它奠基于其上的牢固基石,也即唯物主义历史观的前提:“现实的个人”。因此,正确把握“现实的个人”,不仅是我们理解唯物主义历史观的前提,而且对于我们正确地坚持和发展马克思主义也是大有助益的。 For the first time in Marx’s “German Ideology,” Marx established a completely new historical concept of historical materialism - the historical view of materialism. This is one of its two major discoveries, with its broad and profound greatness. However, the magnificent building of this new historical concept has been built upon, it depends on the solid foundation stone on which it stands, that is, the premise of materialist conception of history: the “real individual.” Therefore, correctly grasping the “realistic individual” is not only a prerequisite for us to understand the materialist conception of history, but also helps us to correctly uphold and develop Marxism.
