Abstract: Marx and Engels thought on civilization mainly has four components: “practicecivilization”, “historycivilization”, “dialecticscivilization” and “revolutioncivilization”. The theory is internally logical as practice, history, dialectics, and revolution are progressively and intricately entwined. First, Marx and Engels clarify that the emergence and evolution of human civilization are rooted in the material production practice of individuals in real life through a historical materialist approach to civilization. Second, taking the historical changes in the practice of material production and the alternation of social forms as clues, they reveal the evolution of forms of human advancement. Third, they explore the dialectical nature of the development of history and civilization, and portray a promising picture of communist civilization in the course of criticizing and transcending capitalist civilization. Fourth, based on the origin that lies in the dialectical nature of the development of history and civilization, ie. the movement of basic social contradictions, they consider the basic means and organizational forces for the leap from capitalist to communist civilization. Marx and Engels thought on civilization not only has a pioneering significance as it transcends the previous ones in the West, but also serves as the theoretical foundation for the Communist Party of China to create a new form of human advancement, providing profound practical enlightenment for enriching and developing the new form of human advancement in the new era and new journey.


Key words: Marx and Engels'thought on civilization, a new form of human advancement, Western civilization theory, internal logic

摘要: 马克思恩格斯文明思想主要包括“实践—文明”“历史—文明”“辩证—文明”“革命—文明”四重意蕴。依循“实践—历史—辩证—革命”层层递进、环环相扣的内在逻辑,马克思恩格斯以唯物史观为文明研究方法,阐明人类文明的产生与演变根植于现实的个人的物质生产实践;以物质生产实践的历史流变及其社会形态的更替为线索,揭示出人类文明形态的演进历程;把握历史与文明发展的辩证本性,在批判与扬弃资本主义文明中描绘共产主义文明的未来图景;又从历史与文明发展辩证本性的根源即社会基本矛盾运动出发,洞察资本主义文明向共产主义文明跃升的基本手段与组织力量。马克思恩格斯文明思想不仅具有超越此前西方文明理论的开创性意义,而且是中国共产党创造人类文明新形态的理论根基,为新时代新征程丰富和发展人类文明新形态提供现实启示。
