Abstract: The classic arguments of Marx about “material weapon” and “spiritual weapon” precisely define the nature and connotations of the two “weapons”, and fully demonstrate the great significance of philosophy and the proletariat for the realization of human emancipation. They also thoroughly clarify the dialectical relations of unity of opposites between philosophy and the proletariat, and find spiritual guidance and practical support for the great undertaking of human emancipation. The ideological and political education in the new era should always be guided by this basic principle, adhere to the philosophical stance of dialectical materialism, give full play to the core functions of theoretical armament, constantly consolidate the pursuit of the value of human emancipation, and cultivate minds with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in order to realize the dialectical unity of “material weapon” and “spiritual weapon” in the new era and keep developing new realms in ideological and political education.

Key words: ideological and political education, material weapon, spiritual weapon

摘要： 马克思关于“物质武器”与“精神武器”的经典论断，不仅准确界定了二者的本质内涵，充分彰显了哲学与无产阶级对于实现人类解放的重要意义，而且彻底厘清了哲学与无产阶级对立统一的辩证关系，为人类解放的伟大事业找到了精神指引与现实支撑。新时代开展思想政治教育应坚持以这一基本原理为指导，始终坚持辩证唯物主义的哲学立场，充分发挥理论武装的核心功能，不断坚定实现人的解放的价值追求，坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人，实现新时代的“物质武器”与“精神武器”的辩证统一，不断开辟思想政治教育发展新境界。
