DIALECTICAL MATRIALISM，is the philosophical theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (qq.v.) and adopted as the official philosophy of the Soviet Union.

辩证唯物主义是由卡尔·马克思和弗里德里希·恩格斯发展的哲学理论，并被苏联采纳为官方哲学。

Marx formulated his theory of dialectical materialism by combining the traditional view of a universe composed solely of matter with the dialectic of G. W. F. Hegel (q.v.). Marx’s analysis of capitalism, which asserts that economic forces are in the last analysis the determining ones in history, is the supreme example of his use of the dialectical method. See also MARXISM.

马克思将完全由物质构成的传统宇宙观与G. W. F. 黑格尔的辩证法相结合，阐述了他的辩证唯物主义理论。马克思对资本主义的分析断言，经济力量归根到底是历史上决定性的力量，该断言是他运用辩证方法最杰出的例子。也可参阅马克思主义词条。
