Abstract:

This paper makes an analysis of two major misunderstandings of Marx' theory of social development law.One is an analysis of the dogmatic formula of "five society formations" which has a misunderstanding of Marx' theory of social development law, restoring the Marxist truth about the dialectical union of law-governing social development and particularity of developmental paths.The other is an exploration of motives of Marx' concern about the oriental issue in his late years through an analysis of some disputes on this point, pointing out that the theory of the oriental social development road implies a thought of the dialectical union of general and specific laws of historical development.

Key words: Marx, theory of social development law, misunderstanding
