恩格斯对英国“济贫法”的辩证批判及意义研究
Engels’ Dialectical Criticism and Significance Study of The British Poor Law

英国“济贫法”是指英国为救济贫困者所颁布的法律，根据“济贫法”的发展历程，可以将其分为旧济贫法时代和新济贫法时代。恩格斯在对英国“济贫法”理论研究中，既肯定了它的历史进步性，同时又根据亲身观察和可靠材料对“新济贫法”的理论基础、实施目的和救济原则等展开了较为全面的批判。梳理恩格斯对英国“济贫法”的论述，既有利于了解恩格斯对英国“济贫法”扬弃的历史意义，也对完善我国社会救助体系具有重要的理论意义和现实启示。
The British Poor Law refers to the laws promulgated by the United Kingdom for the relief of the poor. According to the development course of “The Poor Law”, it can be divided into the old The Poor Law era and the new The Poor Law era. Engels not only affirmed its historical progress in the study of the English “The Poor Law” theory, but also launched a more comprehensive criticism of the theoretical basis, implementation purpose and relief principles of the new “The Poor Law” based on his person-al observation and reliable materials. Summary of Engels’s elaboration on The British Poor Law is not only conducive to understanding the historical significance of Engels’s sublation of The Poor Law in Britain, but also has important theoretical significance and practical enlightenment to perfect our country’s social assistance system.
