与历史有关的几个理论(6/6)

The above theories interpret history

in terms of the overall progress of mankind in general

without respect to differentiation within the social order.

It is also possible to view human history

in terms of the interaction of socioeconomic groups.

Human history,

according to this theory,

is most clearly interpreted as the disappearance of class struggle.

Most people who hold this theory assume a resolution of

the struggle through the disappearance of class differences,

although it would be just as correct to assume that

the struggle could continue unresolved.

Those who assume that the struggle can eventually be resolved

hold that history has a goal

and that progress can be measured

in terms of how quickly mankind is reaching that goal.
