The Theory of Means of Material Production and the Modern Societies
Abstract
The above article belongs to the series of treatises aiminig at attributing such
a form to categories and propositions of the historical materialism to make them
become not only a mean of theoretical reflection on the m o d e r n societies but
also a premise of field-empirical, sociological and economic research.
The first part of the article is an attempt of the new interpretation of the
proposition inherent in the historical materialism i.e. of "defining" a society as
a whole (formation of a society) by its economic structure. Five basic processes,
through which the "definition" of the social formation by its economy is carried
into effect, are quoted there, as well as five theoretical and methodological functions
performed by the respective sub-theories of the theory of the economic
structure in examining economy ais a whole and a society as a whole.
The arguments presented in the second part of the article are in favor of
a proposition that the understanding of the part played by economy in the formation
of a society advocated by the historical materialism is still not obsolete but it can also help to disclose that a majority of categories presently applied in the
analysis of interactions between economy and non-economical structures is biased
with the theoretical archaism and the Robinsonian approach. All the categories
of the theory of means of material production analyzed in the article are serving
to criticize and positively overcome the above mentioned bias; these are: "material
labor", "objects of labor", "direct and indirect means of the material labor",
"mental means of the material production", typology of conditioning processes
presented within the structure of means of material production. The following
concepts are considered to bear the traits of the theoretical archaism and the
Robinsonian approach: "manual labor", "mental work", "instruments of labor", as
well as other concepts identifying the means of production with a set of material
objects and the powers of production with the means of production.
