The thought of “community” in “German Ideology” and its promoting effect on Chinese modernization

《德意志意识形态》中的“共同体”思想及其对中国式现代化的促进作用探讨

“German Ideology” is an important document of Marx and Engels’ first comprehensive and systematic exposition of historical materialism. They criticized the young Hegelian philosophy in the “German ideology” and expounded their own philosophical insights. The thought of “community” contained in it is based on historical materialism and focuses on “individuals in reality”. It is a concrete interpretation of Marx and Engels’ theory of world history. Chinese-style modernization is the modernization led by the Communist Party of China. It has the common characteristics of modernization in various countries and Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. Marx and Engels discussed the “naturally formed community” in the “German ideology”, dialectically criticized the “illusory community”, and expounded that in order to realize the free and comprehensive development of human beings, and then realize the liberation of all mankind, it is necessary to establish the idea of “real community”. This provides theoretical origin and practical guidance for promoting the common prosperity of all the people, realizing the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and adhering to the road of peaceful development, and shows the time value of the “community” thought.

《德意志意识形态》是马克思和恩格斯第一次全面系统阐述唯物史观的重要文献。他们在《德意志意识形态》中批判了青年黑格尔派哲学，并阐述了自己的哲学见解。其中包含的“共同体”思想是在立足唯物史观，着眼“现实中的个人”的基础上提出的，是对马克思和恩格斯世界历史理论的具体阐释。中国式现代化是中国共产党领导的现代化，既有各国现代化的共同特征，更有基于自己国情的中国特色。马克思、恩格斯在《德意志意识形态》中论述了“自然形成的共同体”，辩证地批判了“虚幻的共同体”，并阐述了要实现人的自由而全面的发展，进而实现全人类的解放，就要建立“真正的共同体”的思想。这为推进全体人民共同富裕、实现人与自然和谐共生以及坚持走和平发展道路提供了理论渊源和实践指引，展现了“共同体”思想历久弥新、经久不衰的时代价值。
