Features: This book is an academic monograph that reflects on historical materialism from the perspective of contemporary social practice. The author adheres to the principle of linking theory with practice, employing a realistic attitude and straightforward, fluent language to comprehensively and systematically, yet with a focus on key points, elaborate on the basic framework of modern historical materialism. Although the book still maintains the logical system of traditional historical materialism, it attempts to provide new interpretations for the basic content of each part. Through a careful study of Marx and Engels' classic works and an in-depth analysis of the development of contemporary social history and scientific and technological progress, the author reveals the long-misunderstood, distorted, and neglected fundamental theories, demonstrates the modern characteristics that the scientific historical view of Marxism should possess, and explains the contemporary "text" of modern historical materialism. This book integrates academic rigor, theoretical depth, and practical relevance, making it highly readable. It can serve as a teaching material for philosophy majors and master's students in related fields at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for theoretical workers with a certain foundation in Marxist philosophy.
