论马克思恩格斯关于马克思主义不是教条而是方法的思想

马克思和恩格斯始终坚持反对教条主义的科学态度.他们认为,人的思维不可能在某一时期穷尽对世界体系的认识,根本不存在永恒的终极真理,所以对任何理论都不能以教条主义的态度去对待.他们一再强调马克思主义不是教条,而是方法.马克思主义教导人们,理论研究必须从事实出发,对任何事物都必须进行辩证分析,理论必须见诸实践并灵活运用.马克思和恩格斯的这一思想,为人们正确理解和对待马克思主义,奠定了思想基础;对人们在新的历史条件下更好地坚持和发展马克思主义,具有重要指导意义.

On Marx and Engels' View That Marxism Is Not a Dogma but a Method

Marx and Engels always insist on a scientific attitude of opposing dogmatism.For,they believe that man’s thinking cannot exhaust the cognition of the world system in a certain period of time,and that there is no eternal ultimate truth,so that any theory must not be treated in a dogmatist manner.They emphasize again and again that Marxist theory is not a dogma but a method.It teaches people that theory research must start from the objective facts;everything must subject to a dialectical analysis,and theory must be put into practice and be flexibly applied.This thought of Marx and Engels’ has laid an ideological foundation for people to correctly understand and treat Marxism,bearing an important guiding significance for people to better uphold and develop Marxism under new historical conditions.
