Abstract

Ocean is known as the cradle of human civilization. In the history of mankind, progress of the human society cannot be separated from the ocean. Marx and Engels had creatively expounded on their understanding of ocean from the perspective of world history. This paper starts from the development history, particularly the formation conditions and major connotations of capitalist society, combines the objective understanding of Marx and Engels about development of the human society, and expounds on development, evolution and essential attributes of their ocean concept. Meanwhile, the relationship between ocean development and a country’s rise and wall is explored, considering the development history of the capitalist society. It is hoped that findings of this paper can provide potential insight into theoretical research of China’s implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country via ocean development.
