On Marx's Transformation of Feuerbach's Humanism

Marx's relation with Feuerbach experienced three phases.They are the positive phase when Marx was under the influence of Feuerbach,the negative phase when Marx broke away from Feuerbach,and the phase of double negation when Marx accepted the rational elements of Feuerbach's ideas.Marx then transformed Feuerbach's humanism in the light of Marxist historical materialism and the surplus theory,and established his theory about man,also referred to as scientific humanism.Scientific humanism and historical materialism are consistent with each other.They are two inter-related and inseparable aspects of Marxist philosophy.Therefore,we should stick to the unity of the two and,in practice,combine the economic and social development with human development.We should also adhere to the people-oriented scientific concept of development.
