历史变迁与文化变迁

把唯物史观理解为经济决定论，源于科学主义的思维方式。仅从生产方式看待社会历史的变迁不够全面，需要从实践的角度理解社会历史。实践具有本体论的意义，并体现为事实与价值的统一。化同实践一样构成了人的本质，是人的存在方式，因为化不仅是结果更体现为人的自由本性的创造。当把化等同于实践时，唯物史观就得到了一种新的阐释，社会历史的变迁也就是化的变迁，新时期的化哲学也就是一种化唯物主义。

Changes of History and Changes of Culture

Taking historical materialism as economical determinism roots in scientist mode of thinking. It is not all-sided to look on changes of history only from the view of mode of production. It is also necessary to understand society and history from the view of practice. Practice has ontological significance and is embodied as unity of fact and value. Culture constitutes human's substance as practice does and is the way in which men exist. For culture is not only result but also men's free creation. Historical materialism gets a new interpretation, when culture is equated as practice. The changes of society and history are also changes of culture, and philosophy of culture in new period is also a cultural materialism.
