Doctrine of Marxism on the driving forces and laws of development of things. Development is the basic category of materialist dialectics, a category that further reveals the motives, laws and trend of development of the motion and change of things on the basis of their motion and change, a change forward, both revolutionary and evolutionary. The outlook on development is the knowledge and evaluation of development made by the subject, the theoretical summation of the basic connotation and forms of development, as well as the pursuit for rationality of development. The outlook on development has different connotations and forms in different periods of history due to the constraints of the level of social development and scientific development in that historical period. The innovation of the Marxist outlook on development is that it has assimilated the intellectual achievements on development in history based on new social practice and discoveries in natural sciences, especially critically inherited the reasonable ideas contained in Hegelian dialectics and founded the Marxist outlook on development. It did not stop at the conception of nature, and extended the dialectical materialist thought on development to the sphere of the history of society, and explained the dialectics of history, and revealed the essence, the driving forces of development and the laws of motion of human social life. . .
