Researchers of historical materialism differ in their emphases.Some focus on the macro structure such as productivity and production relations,economic basis and superstructure.Others insist that historical materialism is a science of human beings and their historical development,thus they study human history from the micro dimension of individuals.In fact,Marx had studied history from both dimensions and attended to the relations between the two.Therefore,the author suggests,in the study of historical materialism,we should pay attention to the mutual relation between the micro stucture of individuals and the macro structure of the society in examining the development course of history.Only in this way can we properly understand history.
