On the Position of "Two Notes on History" in the Development of Marx’s Theory of World History YE Xian-ming 2011, (8):  5-12.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (377KB) ( )   The position of Anthropological Notes and Notes on History in the development of Marx’s theory of world history lies in the following aspects.First,they marked a shift from emphasizing the"end results"to emphasizing the"process"in the study of world history,leading to more profound knowledge about the formation of"world-historical links".Second,not only was the primitive society more precisely understood,but the oriental society was also examined in the whole historical process.Third,the comparative study of world history that seriously criticized"Western centeredness"deepened the idea about the relationship between unity and diversity in the development of world history.Fourth,they offered richer and more profound historical details to critique of political economics.Fifth,they enriched our cognition of the development prospect of world history.Meanwhile,it is also worth pointing out that the"Anthropological Notes"and"Notes on History"are only part of what Marx did in preparing,clarifying and analyzing the materials for further systematic studies.Their special features have provided much room to allow active enrichment and development of Marx’s theory on world history under circumstances of new historical conditions.

A Reflection on the Methodology of Modern Economics and Its Theoretical Development ZHU Fu-qiang 2011, (8):  31-38.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (381KB) ( )   The mainstream modern economics is keen on copying the way of thinking and methodology of research in natural science.This strong tendency of methodology-oriented instead of problem-oriented methodology is a fatal mistake.For one thing,compared with natural science,economics is less quantitative by nature;for another,excessive application of deduction through mathematic formula may result in the consequence of replacement of analyses based on economic theories.However,a majority of the economists assume an indifferent attitude towards this situation.Some even go the extreme of ridiculing people who reflect on this wrong tendency as being unable to analyze.As a matter of fact,the property of economics as a discipline differs from that of natural science.The research subject of economics is the nature behind social phenomena and their interactive mechanism.Obviously,very often no conclusion can be drawn to be universally applied.For the same reason,economic theories cannot be evaluated by consistency of formal logic.On the contrary,the development of economic theory depends on the researcher’s knowledge scope and humane care.
