Civilization is not abstract, but historical and concrete. There is unity between the grand civilization and the microscopic life. Different forms of civilization are necessarily related to different modes of production and ways of life, which do not depend on human will. The special stipulation is required for creating a better life under the historical orientation of the new form of human civilization. It is not only a lifestyle developed under the socialist civilization, but also a lifestyle with the gene of Chinese civilization, and a lifestyle at the height of modern civilization, opening up a new life prospect of the new form of human civilization at the micro level. Taking a better life as the leading goal can promote the integration of the macrolevel development and microlevel narrative of the new form of human civilization, facilitate the implementation of peoplecentered development philosophy into practice, and constantly advance the development of the new form of human civilization to a new historical height.

How to Understand Marx's “Social Relations”: An Analysis Based on the Classical Expositions of Historical Materialism Zhou Dan, Kong Xiangrun 2022, 56 (10):  44-51.  Abstract ( )   PDF (5433KB) ( )   Marx's questioning of human nature finally settles on social relations. How do social relations come into being? Starting from material production, historical materialism objectively reveals the social nature of human beings, and presents a triple extension from individual subject to national subject, from direct life to all life, and from the existence outside consciousness to the existence of consciousness. To deepen the understanding of social relations with production relations, “the sum total of these relations of production constitute the economic structure of society”, which fundamentally determines people's social relations and human nature. Based on a series of concepts such as material production, social relations, production relations, and economic structure, historical materialism has discovered the development law of human social history.  Related Articles | Metrics

The Contemporary Value of Dual Paths of Thought in “On the Significance of Militant Materialism”——Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Publication of “On the Significance of Militant Materialism” Chai Linli 2022, 56 (10):  52-60.  Abstract ( )   PDF (5244KB) ( )   On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its publication, “On the Significance of Militant Materialism” is rerevisited in this paper, not only because it is the most famous philosophical work in the late Lenin period, but also due to its ideological value and methodological significance it embodies that are still realistic today. In order to demonstrate the philosophical thought and value of the text itself in the new era, we need to pay attention to several issues in the process of interpretation: first, the new theoretical value should be explored from the investigation of the relevant background and the cleaning up campaign in academic history; second, that Lenin elaborated the principles and ideological standards that Marxists should follow in future works from the dual paths of philosophy and social practice should be highlighted; finally, combined with characteristics of the times, the theoretical significance and methodological enlightenment of Lenins “two alliance” theory for China's socialist modernization should be fully demonstrated.   Related Articles | Metrics

An Political Economy Analysis of Local Fiscal Expenditure Structure and Economic Growth in China  Zhao Feng, Tan Xuan, Zhou Huizhen 2022, 56 (10):  61-74.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8989KB) ( )   In terms of value production and capital accumulation, fiscal expenditure influences the production process of social reproduction in two ways: one is to provide public material production conditions, and the other is to provide goods and services for labor reproduction. On this basis, O'Connor, a Marxist scholar, divides fiscal expenditure into social investment, social consumption and social expenses. In specific, social investment and social consumption can form social constant capital and variable capital, which helps to improve labor productivity and reduce production costs. At the same time, the three types of fiscal expenditure can form commodity demand, thereby slowing down the pressure of declining profit margins and increasing people's willingness to invest, and realizing the connotative and denotative expansion of social reproduction. Considering the characteristics of and changes in the fiscal expenditure structure of 31 provinciallevel administrative regions in China from 2007 to 2020, since various types of fiscal expenditure can influence the supply side and the demand side of the economy through multiple channels, the coordinated growth of the three types of fiscal expenditure can more effectively meet the conditions required for regional economic development.

The Value and Theoretical Enlightenment of the Concept of “a Community of Shared Future for Mankind” Zhao Yang 2022, 56 (10):  85-96.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7293KB) ( )   Building a community with shared future for mankind is a scientific conclusion made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core on the basis of profoundly summarizing the characteristics, status quo and development trends of contemporary international relations, as well as Chinas status and role in the international community. It is the core value pursued by China's majorcountry diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.

Specifically, the idea of community is the foundation, which reflects the general goal of building a community with shared future for mankind, and the pursuit of a harmonious and stable international order in the absence of central authority. The ideas of security and global governance are the two core pillars of the concept, and they respectively emphasize the prevention of common losses and the acquisition of mutual benefits with nations could go in the same direction. The vision of building a community with shared future for mankind is an important contribution and innovation of China to the theory of international relations. It provides people with a new way of understanding world politics, and can become a development concept and model shared by all countries in the world. Related Articles | Metrics

Adhering to Historical Materialism throughout the Whole Process of Party History Education in Colleges and Universities Cai Wencheng 2022, 56 (10):  97-105.  Abstract ( )   PDF (5951KB) ( )   Historical materialism is the content and method of Party history education in colleges and universities. Adhering to historical materialism throughout the whole process of Party history education in colleges and universities is conducive to demonstrating the scientificity, improving the pertinence, enhancing the effectiveness, and stimulate the innovation of Party history education. At present, in the process of incorporating historical materialism into Party history education in colleges and universities, there are some problems, such as the incoherence of teaching through historical facts and political education, the separation of historical analysis and philosophical interpretation, the disintegration of imparting historical knowledge and innovating teaching strategies and methods, and the disconnection of  theoretical and practical education. To realize the deep integration of historical materialism and Party history education in colleges and universities, we must take a clearcut stand against historical nihilism, clarify the important theoretical status of historical materialism with respect to the importance of the teaching characteristics, highlight the function of historical materialism in the theoretical interpretation involving a clear design of teaching, and stimulate the theoretical innovation of historical materialism and improve the teaching effectiveness.

A Betrayer or Innovator: Investigating the Development of Foreign Marxist Economics through the Work of Bowles Gao Ling, Tang Yuyin, Lo Dic 2022, 56 (10):  106-121.  Abstract ( )   PDF (9114KB) ( )   Radical political economy has been going through for more than 50 years, in which Samuel Bowles stands out among radical political economists by his unique theoretical innovation. His “Marxist economics without the labor theory of value” represents the mainstream paradigm of radical political economy. Based on all of Bowles's papers on Marxist economics published between 1975 and 2020, we divide his exploration of Marxist economic theory into three phases: the “transition period from 1975 to 1981”, the “formation period from 1982 to 1989”, and the “extension period from 1990 to the present”. These three stages outline the trajectory of Bowles academic thought. We find that Bowles' “abandonment” of the labor theory of value and his turn to behavioral science in the 1990s are not a deviation from his original research path, but an evitable result of the development of his theories of political economy. Considering Bowles academic experience as a continuous process is key to understanding the progress of his research and the radical political economy he represents in the United States.
