Marx’s Theory of Social Development Dynamics and Its Enlightenment for Contemporary Reform

社会发展动力思想是马克思主义理论体系的重要组成部分，是马克思在批判继承西方传统社会发展动力理论的基础上，运用唯物史观科学剖析社会历史发展的理论创新成果。马克思认为，社会历史发展的首要动力是“人的现实生活需要”，根本动力是“社会基本矛盾运动”，重要动力是“科学技术”，主体动力是“广大人民群众”，四者交互作用共同推动社会发展前进。作为科学的社会发展动力思想，再次对其进行研究和解读对于当前我国进一步全面深化改革具有重要的启示价值。The idea of the dynamics of social development is an important part of the theoretical system of Marxism. It is a theoretical innovation resulting from Marx’s criticism and inheritance of the traditional Western theory of the driving force of social development, as well as the scientific analysis of social and historical development using the materialist conception of history. According to Marx, the primary driving force of social and historical development is “the real-life needs of man”, the fundamental driving force is “the movement of basic social contradictions”, the direct driving force is “class struggle and social change”, and the main driving force is “class struggle and social change”. The important driving force is “science and technology”, and the main driving force is “the masses of the people”. The interaction of the four factors jointly promotes the progress of social development. As a scientific idea of social development power, its study and interpretation once again have important revelation value for the further deepening of reform in China at present.
