This book summarizes the process of Marx's foundation of the view of history into two turning points, namely, from alienation to alienated labor, and then from alienated labor to the materialistic view of history. Meanwhile, this book makes an in-depth analysis of the ideas about the materialistic view of history in recent years, which is conducive to further clarifying the ideas of Marxist learners and researchers. Besides, this book, on the basis of the human exploration of historical laws, analyzes how Marx broke through the limitations of previous historical views and went deep into history, that is, the process of discovering the laws of history itself, thus profoundly revealing the important reference value of Marx's view of history in the transformation of human historical views. It is also conducive to building a bridge of communication between Chinese and Western philosophy, promoting international exchanges and cooperation, and enriching the ideological connotation of contemporary Marxism.

Reinterprets Marx by integrating philosophy, sociology, political science, and history Explores Marx's view of history through the analysis of alienation Deepens understanding of Marx's view of history to offer insights for modern challenges
