The Internal Logic and Implications of Uno Economics Integrating the Critique of Political Economy and Historical Materialism
GUO Menghua;
Abstract:
The integration of the critique of political economy and historical materialism has been an important theoretical issue in Marxist scholarship. Kozo Uno's three-stage(sandankairon)theory attempts to provide an answer to this question. He separates economics from the materialist conception of history, treating economics as an external economic foundation to provide scientific justification for the materialist conception of history. With this understanding, he separates value from use-value at the level of the principles of economics, reconstructs the logic of capital—that is, revealing its intrinsic logic through the affirmative dialectic of capital—and thereby progressively substantiating the materialist conception of history. The outcome of this theoretical framework is that Uno's economics is materialist yet ahistorical, and historical yet lacking materialism. Its essence lies in the dismemberment of historical materialism within the critique of political economy. This demonstrates that the intrinsic integration of the critique of political economy with historical materialism must first entail the demonstration of historical materialism as an indivisible whole within the critique of political economy. That is to say, within the logic of capital, materialism and historical dialectics must be united as one. Only thus can the intrinsic critique of capital possess not only a social foundation but also the social impetus for the historical negation of capital.

- (1)宇野的三阶段论包括原理论、阶段论和现状分析三部分:原理论是三阶段论中第一阶段的理论。它是关于资本主义发展一般规律的理论,是对资本逻辑的分析,在宇野笔下表现为纯粹资本主义,作为经济学原理,是对资本主义现状进行分析的一般基准。阶段论是三阶段论中第二阶段的理论,是关于资本主义历史发展阶段的理论。它不处于原理论的逻辑延长线上,而是对各阶段代表性资本主义国家的发展进行的理论抽象,是对资本主义现状进行分析的中介。现状分析是三阶段论中第三阶段的理论。它在原理论的基础上,以阶段论为中介进行现状分析。宇野的理论体系的建构主要表现在原理论和阶段论层面。
