Abstract: In his works On Capital,Karl Marx put forward the proposition of political economy,“what the more developed countries show to the less developed ones is only the future of the latter.” This proposition contains economic philosophy content,and the generalized expression can been seen as the linear evolutionary logic of social history.In Marx's text,this logic exists in four contexts:the original context,the general theoretical context,the context of the specific social historical situation in the East,and the context of the specific social historical situation in Russia.The logical patterns vary in different contexts,which is interpreted by the later scholars as the trend of diversification,but all contexts are not attached equal importance to,for instance,the external force theory in the context of the specific social historical situation in the East is ignored,and some contents like the exceptionalism of agricultural communes in the context of specific social and historical situations in Russia are interpreted subjectively.This theoretical situation raises questions for Marxist researchers:Is the linear evolution logic of social history universally applicable in the context of general theory?What is the relationship between the theory of external forces in the context of specific social and historical situations in the East and the linear evolution logic of social history in the general theoretical context?Is the exceptionalism in the context of a particular social and historical situation in Russia the basic position of Marx?If so,how does this position conflict with the linear evolutionary logic of social history in the context of general theory?In order to maintain the purity of the linear evolution logic of social history in the general theoretical context,the context problem has become the objective that deserves attention and studying at the ideological level,so it is of great value to study the linear evolution of Marx's original social history in different contexts.

Key words: the linear evolutionary logic of social history, context of specific social and historical situations in the East, context of a particular social and historical situation in Russia
