The Turn of Marx and Engels' View of Historical Materialism

摘要

Marx and Engels were not born natural historical materialists. His historical materialism thought was based on the criticism of Hegelian idealism and Feuerbach's humanistic materialism. For the first time, the concept of historical materialism was elucidated in "German Ideology", and the basic principles of historical materialism were systematically and exhaustively discussed, thus achieving a great transformation in the history of philosophy. This paper selects Marx and Engels's criticism of Feuerbach's humanism to expound Marx and Engels's transcendence of Feuerbach and the birth of historical materialism, thus deepening the understanding of this issue.
