“历史创造者”命题的辩证性质及世界观、方法论意义

通行哲学教科书把"人民群众是历史的创造者"当作一个普遍命题,把"人民群众"看成是一个永恒的价值主体,从根本上背离了历史发展的辩证性质。实际上,"人民群众是历史的创造者"只是一个特殊命题,只是马克思主义经典作家依据历史唯物主义对资本主义社会的矛盾进行深刻分析后得出的一个具体结论,它揭示了以无产阶级为代表的人民群众即将开辟的一个自觉创造人类历史的全新阶段,作为无产阶级解放运动现实实践的反映,它所表达的只能是无产阶级及其政党的世界观和方法论。

"The Creators of History":the Dialectical Nature of the Proposition and Its Ontological/Epistemological Meaning

In most Philosophy textbooks in China,it is considered a universal proposition that "The masses are the creators of history".In this proposition,"the masses" is taken as a stable value entity,which violates the dialectical nature of historical development.Instead of being a universal proposition,"The masses are the creators of history" was only a conclusion specifically drawn by Marxist scholars after a Historical Materialistic analysis of the internal contradictions of the Capitalist Society.It served to signify a brand-new era in which the masses,represented by the Proletariats,made conscious efforts to create a new path in human history.However,as a reflection of the Proletariat Liberation movement,the proposition only represented the Proletariats and their party’s ontological and epistemological perspective on history.It was a special proposition developed by a special group of people at a special time in history.
