What kind of law does human development follow?

Formally a spiral inverted cone, the essence revolves around the distribution of wealth.

It is impossible to draw a picture, only to describe it in words: the tip of the cone is downward, and the spiral spirals up from bottom to top around the cone, indicating that the accumulation of wealth is increasing, the demand of people is getting higher and higher, the productive forces create wealth, and the social system determines how to distribute wealth. This may be the law of human development.

The general law of the development of human society is that the productive forces determine the relations of production, and the economic base determines the superstructure.

Productivity is the ability of people to use nature, transform nature, and obtain material materials from nature, reflecting the relationship between man and nature. The relationship between the productive forces and the relations of production is as follows: the state of the productive forces determines the relations of production, and the relations of production have a negative effect on the productive forces.

When the relations of production are suitable for the development of the productive forces, they play a role in promoting the development of the productive forces; When the relations of production are not suited to the state of development of the productive forces, they hinder the development of the productive forces.

The economic basis refers to the sum of the production relations determined by the productive forces at a certain stage of social development, and is the basis for constituting a certain society. The superstructure is the ideology built on the economic basis and the corresponding systems, organizations and facilities, and in class society, it mainly refers to the political and legal systems and facilities.

The history of the development of human society is both a process of unification

1. The five typical social forms that are successively replaced do not exclude the transitional nature in the specific development process. Historically, between the two successive social forms, such as between primitive society and slave society, between slave society and feudal society, there have been transitional forms such as domestic slavery and subordinate agricultural system, which have the characteristics of both social and economic systems. In addition, due to various complex international and domestic conditions, there are also some special forms that are different from the five typical societies, such as the semi-colonial and semi-feudal societies like modern China, which belong to this category.

2. The sequential replacement of the five social forms is the basic way for the development of human society from low to high, but under certain historical conditions, certain regions and nations can cross one or even several stages in this development sequence. For example, under the influence of the feudal society that arose on the ruins of the Western Roman Empire, some of the original primitive tribes in Europe directly established feudal states beyond the stage of slavery. China did not go through the typical capitalist stage and transitioned to a socialist society.

The Marxist section reveals the general laws of the development of human society.

The general law is the law by which the relations of production are adapted to the state of the productive forces. The law of social development is the intrinsic essential connection and inevitable trend in the process of social development. Historical idealism proceeds from people's thoughts and motives, and denies that social development has its own laws; On the contrary, historical materialism proceeds from the process of social material and delayed life, and advocates that society is subject to change and development, and this change and development has its own objective laws.

Marxism is a scientific theoretical system initiated by Marx and Engels in the 40s of the 19th century, and has been continuously innovated and developed by its successors. Based on the outstanding achievements of human thought and culture, Marxism has absorbed and surpassed German classical philosophy, British classical political economy, and British and French utopian socialism.

Classification of the laws of social development:

According to the different scope of their effects, the laws of social development can be divided into general laws, special laws and individual laws. What exists at all stages of human history and always functions belongs to general laws, such as the law that the relations of production are suitable for the state of the productive forces; Those that only play a role in certain stages of development in history belong to special laws, such as the law of struggle at the limb level; What only plays a role at a certain stage of social development belongs to individual laws, such as the basic economic laws of capitalism.

The general, special and individual laws reflect the diversity and unity of the development of human society. Among them, general laws are expressed through special and individual laws; The special and individual laws are governed by the general laws. Individual laws, special laws, and general laws are transformed into each other under certain conditions, and under one connection they are general laws, and under another kind of connection, they are individual laws.

The development of human social imitation is dominated by the evolution of labor tools.

Every change in the tools of labor has brought about epoch-making changes in the mode of production, and with it, the evolution process from primitive society to capitalist society clearly reflects the interrelationship between the tools of labor and social development.

The creation and use of tools by human beings is the ultimate reason why human beings finally evolved from the era of ignorant wild crackers to the era of primitive society, and the use of stone slippery fiber tools has greatly improved the ability of primitive humans to produce and survive on the primitive earth, thus creating an era in which human beings have become the masters of the earth.

The Bronze Age corresponded to the slave society, and the Iron Age corresponded to the feudal society, because bronze tools were easier to manufacture and use than stone tools, so they could obtain higher labor efficiency, and the properties of iron tools were easier to forge than bronze tools, and they were harder and sharper, which was more conducive to making agricultural tools.

From stone tools to bronze tools and then to iron tools, the transformation of the materials used to make tools has improved the performance of labor tools, and correspondingly improved labor efficiency, and the improvement of labor efficiency has led to corresponding changes in social forms, and human society has evolved from primitive society to slave society and feudal society accordingly.

Note: The content and form of production tools are constantly evolving with the development of the economy and science and technology. In the early days, the tools of production (stone and wood tools, metal tools) were operated by the hands of laborers relying on their own physical strength.

Later machines include three parts: machine tools, power machines and transmission devices, forming a complex system; The modern automated machine system has added an automatic control device with an electronic computer as the core. The increasingly complex means of production and the sophisticated tools of production are an important factor in promoting the development of social productive forces.

The emergence of the means of production is inevitable, an inevitable progress in the process of human development, which frees the hands of human beings.

The law of the development of human society is a very complex issue that involves many aspects, such as economy, politics, culture, science and technology, etc. The following are some common laws of the development of human society:

1.The gradual nature of history: The development of human society is a gradual process, step by step in the direction of more development and improvement.

2.The economic base determines the superstructure: The economic foundation of human society has a decisive impact on the superstructure, including social system, political form, morality and ethics, etc.

3.Class struggle: There are contradictions and struggles between different classes in human society, and such contradictions and struggles have played an important role in the process of the development of the whole society.

4.Scientific and technological progress: The scientific and technological level and scientific and technological progress of human society are important forces to promote social development.

5.Cultural inheritance: The cultural inheritance and innovation of human society are indispensable factors for the development of the society and have a profound impact on the development of society.

In short, the development of human society is a very complex process of multi-factor comprehensive influence, and the above laws are only a part of it, and cannot be summarized in one or two sentences.

According to the development of human beings as the main body of society, Marx divided the history of human beings into three social forms, which are the society of human dependence, the society of material dependence, and the society of all-round development of individuals.

From different perspectives, there are five social forms: primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalist society, and socialist society, as well as three major social forms: natural economy society, commodity economy society, and product economy society.
