古典经济学的多重视角及其对马克思主义的挑战

古典经济学这个概念在西方学者那里分别具有不同的内涵,具体说有三个方面:一是以凯恩斯为代表的指认古典经济学的"模糊"内涵;二是以熊彼特为代表的指认古典经济学的"经济"内涵;三是福柯所指认的"现代性"内涵。从本质上看,西方学者是从各自的学术立场出发,曲解了马克思的古典经济学之意蕴并由此否认马克思主义的当下意义。从马克思的研究视域出发可知,马克思的古典经济学主要指认的是其"政治"内涵--对社会权力结构的解剖。在这个基础上,马克思揭示了历史唯物主义的"物质"(社会存在)这一哲学概念的本质。

Multi-perspectives of Classical Economy and Their Challenges to Marxism

Western scholars understand the concept of classical economy in a very different way. To be more specific, one is represented by Keynes focusing on its fuzziness; one is represented by Schumpeter focusing on its economic aspect; and the other is represented by Foucault focusing on its modernity. Essentially, western scholars, from their own academic perspectives, misinterpret Marxist classical economy to deny its present significance. If viewed from a Marxist perspective, Marxist classical economy focuses on political aspect, i. e. the analysis of social power structure.Based on this analysis, Marx brought to light the nature of " matter" --a philosophical concept inhistorical materialism.
