家庭形式、两性关系的历史演变——恩格斯《家庭、私有制和国家的起源》对家庭及两性关系史的科学研究

生活资料的生产、生产资料的生产以及与人们两性关系相联系的人口生产,构成了人们社会生活的基本内容,并制约着人们生活其中的社会制度。恩格斯正是根据这个历史唯物主义的原理对家庭及两性关系的历史演变,作出了科学的令人信服的分析。两性关系早于家庭出现。家庭—两性关系的社会形式出现以后,又经历了几个顺序相继的发展阶段。在社会主义时代,一夫一妻制家庭发展到了高级阶段,在婚姻基础、择偶标准等两性关系上发生了根本变化。百年以来,“科学发展证明了恩格斯著作的基本论点的全部正确性”。这些论点和科学方法,对我们当前进行婚姻、家庭和两性关系的研究,依然具有现实的指导意义。

Historical development of family and sexual relations——study on family and sexual relation in Engles' book 《The origin of the family, private property and the state》

The production of consumption goods,production goods and population is the main contents of social life,and controls the regime in which people live.Right upon this historic materialistic principle,Engles made the convincing analysis on family and sexual relations.Sexual relation appears earlier than family.Family,the social form of sexual relations,goes through several development phases after its appearance.In the age of socialism,one-husband-one-wife system progresses to a higher development stage with fundamental changes occurring to marriage base and standard of choosing spouse, etc.The scientific developments in the past century have proved the correctness of the basic opinions in Engles' work.These viewpoints and the scientific methods are still of significance to our present research on marriage,family and sexual relations.
