歷史唯物主義

(Marxism) historical materialism
- 因此，如果我在英文中也像在其他許多文字中一樣，用「歷史唯物主義」這個名詞來表達一種關於歷史過程的觀點，這種觀點認爲一切重要歷史事件的終極原因和偉大動力是社會的經濟發展、生產方式和交換方式的改變、由此產生的社會之劃分爲不同的階級，以及這些階級彼此之間的鬥爭，那末，即使英國的體面人物也不致於感到太震驚吧。 [MSC, trad.]

  And, thus, I hope even British respectability will not be overshocked if I use, in English as well as in so many other languages, the term "historical materialism", to designate that view of the course of history which seeks the ultimate cause and the great moving power of all important historic events in the economic development of society, in the changes in the modes of production and exchange, in the consequent division of society into distinct classes, and in the struggles of these classes against one another.
