ABSTRACT

The theory of world history profoundly reveals the historical process and inherent laws of human society's transition from fragmentation to integration, constituting an important component of Marx's materialist conception of history. On the basis of critically inheriting predecessors' ideas, Marx creatively constructed the theory of world history. This theory encompasses rich content, including the concept of "world history," the agents of its formation, the fundamental driving forces, and its value orientation. Marx's theory of world history provides significant theoretical guidance for understanding the "people-centered" development philosophy and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
