Abstract:The distinction between general historical materialism and special historical materialism appears when the study of Marxist philosophy is confronted with the relationship between the general development law of human history and the special operation law of capitalist mode of production.From the perspective of the historical logic criticism of modern capitalism,there is undoubtedly such special historical materialism in Marxism as Professor ZHANG Yi-bing talked about.However,it can been seen from the historical development of Marx's thought that special historical materialism is just the political and economic thought constructed and elaborated by Marx in his works such as Das Kapital.It is only because of the need to demonstrate the temporary historical nature of capitalist mode of production and its profound historical connotation that Marx's thought of political economy broke away from the narrow scope of bourgeois political economics and was thus characteristic of general political economics.However,as general political economics is taken as historical materialism,it conflicts with the concept of historical materialism originally regarded as the historical view of Marxist philosophy and science.This not only causes the confusion of the concept of historical materialism in form,but also leads to the wrong conclusion of completely denying general historical materialism from the point of the view of special historical materialism.In fact,general political economics was specifically termed as “political economics”or “critique of political economics”.There is no need to coin a new term of “special political economics”,which will cause confusion in Marxist philosophical theory and people's thinking and understanding.
