"The German Ideology" as the birthplace of historical materialism，Contains the key to understanding and grasping the entire content of historical materialism。In a note in The German Ideology，Marx clarified the fundamental difference between historical materialism and old philosophy，And its fundamental nature as a historical science。Marx pointed out: "We only know one and only science，i.e. historical science。History can be examined from two aspects，It can be divided into natural history and bet365 best casino games。But these two aspects are inseparable；As long as there are people，Natural history and bet365 best casino games restrict each other。Natural History，The so-called natural science，We won’t talk about it here；What we need to study in depth is bet365 best casino games，Because almost the entire ideology is not a distortion of bet365 best casino games，Just completely ignore bet365 best casino games。”In this deleted manuscript，Contains important content for understanding the nature of historical materialism，That is, history is the unity of natural history and bet365 best casino games，The science of history is therefore the science of man and his entire world of existence，But the whole old philosophy "is not a distortion of bet365 best casino games，Just completely ignore bet365 best casino games”。Therefore，The establishment of historical materialism is based on criticizing old philosophy。

　　Criticism of bet365 best casino games

In Marx’s view，The most fundamental problem of the old philosophy is that it does not understand bet365 best casino games。Specifically，It is the old materialism that has left aside bet365 best casino games，Idealism misinterprets bet365 best casino games。

Marx believes，Old materialism in its initial formative period，With its sensitivity to sensibility、Real-life concerns to understand people and their real world。This is manifested in two aspects: first，Materialism in Bacon，It also contains the seeds of all-round development in a simple form。Material still has impulse、Vitality、The perceptual existence of tension，Also "smiling at the whole person with poetic sensibility"。Part 2，Materialism is resistance to metaphysics、A theoretical system that summarizes real life practices into a system and adds theoretical arguments。Locke's "Treatise of Human Reason" is such a system，Thus "received a warm welcome like an eagerly awaited guest"。But，In the later development process, materialism began to construct its own system in the form of mathematics，Thus "sensibility loses its vivid color，Becomes the abstract sensibility of a geometer。Physical motion becomes a victim of mechanical or mathematical motion；Geometry was declared a major science。Materialism has become indifferent to people”。It is impossible to include the content of bet365 best casino games in this kind of materialism that is hostile to people，Because they don’t understand real people and their living world at all。

Although idealism touches the content of bet365 best casino games，But it only develops human subjectivity in an abstract way，Because "idealism does not know reality、Perceptual activity itself”。Whether it is subjective idealism or objective idealism，One common feature is that they believe that ideas rule the real world，Not only the entire material world，And the whole history，It’s all about concepts、Ideas、Concepts etc. dominate，Real people and the real world are both products of ideas，instead of the other way around。Therefore，In idealism，bet365 best casino games is abstractly understood as the evolution history of the human spirit，This is nothing but "finding an abstraction for the movement of history、logical、Speculative expression”。

In Marx’s view，The reason why old philosophy cannot truly understand and grasp bet365 best casino games，The fundamental reason is that they do not understand the fundamental nature of "revolutionary" and "practical-critical" activities to the existence of people and the world they live in。“This kind of activity、This kind of continuous perceptual labor and creation、This kind of production，It is the basis of the entire existing perceptual world”，Even if this kind of activity only stops for a year，The real world and human existence are impossible。Therefore，Understanding and grasping real people and their world，We can only start from real people and their activities。It is precisely because of individuals who have grasped reality and their practical activities，Marx truly transcended the entire old philosophy and created historical materialism。

　　Historical materialism is the science of bet365 best casino games beings

Understand and grasp history from the perspective of real individuals and their activities，This is the fundamental feature that distinguishes historical materialism from previous historical views。By its very nature，Historical materialism is bet365 best casino games science，It is the continuous self-generation of people through their own objective practical activities、Understanding and grasping the historical process of self-creation。

First，The research object of historical materialism is real people and their activities。Historical materialism starts from the premise of reality，The premise is people，“But not a person in some illusory state of isolation and immutability，But in reality、Can be observed through experience、People in the process of development under certain conditions”。This person，Not an abstract person，But specific、People engaged in production activities in historical times。Therefore，Historical research does not start from a theory or concept external to bet365 best casino games，But start from bet365 best casino games itself，That is, study the bet365 best casino games of which era，We need to concretely analyze the real social life of people in that era。Just describe this realistic social life process，You will be able to grasp the bet365 best casino games of that era。Therefore，Realistic individuals as the starting point of historical materialism，It is not an abstract concept that can be used to carry out logical deductions，But a categorical imperative，That is, historical research must be rooted in the practical analysis of people’s specific production and life。

Second，The dual relationship and the movement of mutual influence that unfold in people's practical activities，Constitutes the basic theoretical logic of historical materialism。In "The German Ideology"，Marx analyzed real human activities，Reveals the premise of the existence of bet365 best casino games，Production to meet basic survival needs、The production of new needs and the production of other people’s lives，And clearly pointed out the dual relationships contained in it - natural relationships and social relationships，This forms the relationship between productivity and production、The dialectical movement of economic base and superstructure，As well as the basic theories of historical materialism such as the evolution of human social forms。There are two points that need special attention here: 1，What Marx said is production is not only the production of material materials，It is still human production—the production of one’s own life and the production of other people’s lives，Therefore, all human relationships are included in this production，Whether it is the relationship between people or the relationship between people and nature。The purpose of production is not only to meet people’s material survival needs，What is more important is to reproduce people themselves and all their social relationships。In other words，The kind that is independent of human activities、The absolutely objective material production process does not exist at all。Only if you grasp this，In order to avoid the economic determinist interpretation of historical materialism。Part 2，The explanation of historical materialism on people and their historical activities is neither a definite theoretical conclusion，It is not a prescription or formula that can be applied everywhere，Rather, it is the basic theoretical principles and methods for understanding and grasping bet365 best casino games。Only by following this theoretical principle and method can we concretely analyze people’s social life in a specific era and its changes in human practice，In order to form a true understanding of bet365 best casino games。

　Third，The future direction of historical materialism is human liberation。If historical materialism is the theoretical principles and methods of bet365 best casino games science，Then this principle and method are also derived from the analysis of the practical nature of human objectivity and its self-generated activities。In "The German Ideology"，Marx demonstrated the ultimate purpose of bet365 best casino games from two different dimensions: theoretical logic and analysis of the actual historical process，The former is expressed through the analysis of alienation and the possibility of its elimination，Revealing the relationship between world history and communism，This makes it clear that its future direction is human liberation；The latter is an analysis of production relations since the rise of capitalism，Elucidates the relationship between individual labor and social wealth in real social production，And clearly stated，The common possession of social productive forces by united individuals is the way to achieve human liberation。It is through this dual-dimensional analysis，Gives a solid foundation for the analysis of human liberation by historical materialism，Points out the direction for the future development of bet365 best casino games。

Therefore，Historical materialism is its starting point、The process is still the final goal，They all target people and their existence，Thus it is the science of man，It is the historical science about bet365 best casino games beings and their existence in the world，It is the unity of bet365 best casino games science and historical science。

　　The unity of bet365 best casino games science and historical science

Although Marx emphasized that "what we need to study in depth is bet365 best casino games" in order to criticize old philosophy，But in order to grasp the historical scientific nature of historical materialism，We still have to return to the unity of natural history and bet365 best casino games，We can’t just stop at understanding bet365 best casino games。Because only on the basis of the unity of natural history and bet365 best casino games，Only then can we truly understand the unique nature of historical materialism。

In Marx’s view，History itself includes natural history and bet365 best casino games，As long as there are people，These two aspects restrict each other。Because natural history and bet365 best casino games are just two aspects of the same human activity process，Only by unifying the two，Only can constitute the real history，In order to truly understand history。

Natural History，The so-called natural science itself，It is the science about people。On the one hand，Man is the direct object of natural science。Because humans themselves are part of nature，Only in nature，Only through bet365 best casino games sensibility can we obtain the existence of reality，Only in natural objects can objective realization be achieved，Only with the help of natural science can we form an understanding of bet365 best casino games existence。On the other hand，Nature is the direct object of bet365 best casino games science，Because nature is the inorganic bet365 best casino games body insofar as it is not the bet365 best casino games body，The study of nature itself is the study of bet365 best casino games beings。Only in the mutual relationship between man and nature，Only then can there be truly realistic people and realistic nature。Therefore，Natural science will include bet365 best casino games science，Just as bet365 best casino games science includes natural science，This will be a science。Getting to the root of it，That’s why Marx said that nature is not outside humans、Absolutely objective nature that has nothing to do with people，But what people live in、As a bet365 best casino games activity object、The natural world that is constantly generated and unfolded in people’s practical activities，That is, bet365 best casino games life world。

Therefore，The so-called bet365 best casino games，It’s just the history of the formation of human life world、Development History，It is the process of human beings being born through their own labor，It is the humanization process of nature，That is, the process in which nature becomes a component of people’s real life world。On the one hand，It is during this process，Natural science enters people’s social life through industry，Changing people’s lives，Prepare for human liberation；On the other hand，It is precisely because of commerce and industry，Due to people’s emotional activities，Natural science can achieve its own goals and obtain its own materials。Therefore，bet365 best casino games and natural history are always closely linked，The natural history of the formation of the real human life world，That is, the history of human self-generation，This is the same process。This of course doesn't work with the original、People who came into being through spontaneous generation” and “the natural world that existed before bet365 best casino games”。

In summary，Natural nature according to Marx，It is the object of bet365 best casino games activities、The "humanistic nature" generated in people's practical activities - people's real life world。Historical materialism is a science about the formation and development laws of real people and their living world，It is a science about people，It is also a science about nature，The two are always united，In other words, this is a science—historical science。
