摘要
恩格斯的"合力论"是关于人类历史发展进程机制的认识论概括,它是一个具有辩证张力的理论表述:第一,"合力论"直接描述的是现代社会的基本现象,因此是一个古典政治经济学模型。在其中,盲目性构成历史进程的主要特征,历史的必然性以偶然性为其补充和表现形式。第二,它同时是历史进程的"内在的一般规律",在其中蕴含了作为人类社会发展客观趋势的自由(即合目的性的实现)。恩格斯表述的张力源自辩证思维,这种思维本身也提出对经典作家理论表述进行历史理解的要求。从这一要求出发,我们必须反思恩格斯借助"合力论"所回答的社会历史问题,其前提是否仍然存在,因此结论是否仍然有效。
Engels’s Theory of "Resultant Forces"is an epistemological summarization of the mechanism of human history and the theoretical presentation with dialectical tension. Firstly, it is a classic political economic model describing modern society, of which contingency is the key character. Secondly, it is a "general law"in the historical course, including freedom as the objective tendency of social development. The tension Engels described comes from dialectics, which requires the historical interpretation of certain classical theoretic statements. We therefore should reconsider the questions on social history Engels offered answers to by means of his Theory of "Resultant Forces"– both the existence of its premises and the effectiveness of its conclusions.
