马克思生产力五因素论的逻辑闭环——从《资本论》第一卷第一章到第四篇

The Logical Closed Loop of Marx’s Five-Factor Theory of Productive Forces—From Chapter One to Part Four of “Capital”, Volume I

摘要: 《资本论》第一卷第一章所提出的决定劳动生产力的五个因素，长期以来被学界视为商品价值量分析的理论注脚，未予深入研究。本文以文本贯通为方法，考察五因素论从第一章到第四篇“相对剩余价值的生产”的逻辑演进。五因素论并非孤立的枚举性论断，而是贯穿于协作、分工和工场手工业、机器和大工业三章的系统性分析框架中。在相对剩余价值的展开中，五因素逐次逐层叠加、不断深化，构成了完整的逻辑展开过程。在此基础上，借助历史唯物主义与政治经济学的层次区分，将五因素论从“决定劳动生产力”的政治经济学命题提升为“生产力发展要素”的唯物史观范畴，揭示了“决定”概念所蕴含的规定与限定的辩证内涵。这一提升不仅是对生产力多要素论的继承与推进，也为理解新质生产力提供了理论参照。

Abstract: The five factors determining labor productivity proposed in the first chapter of Volume I of “Capital” have long been regarded in academic circles as theoretical footnotes for analyzing commodity value, without in-depth study. This paper adopts a textual integration approach to examine the logical evolution of the five-factor theory from Chapter I to the fourth section on “The Production of Relative Surplus Value.” The five-factor theory is not an isolated enumerative assertion but rather a systematic analytical framework spanning the three chapters on cooperation, division of labor and factory handicraft, and machinery and large-scale industry. In the unfolding of relative surplus value, the five factors progressively and hierarchically accumulate, deepening continuously to form a complete logical progression. Building on this, by leveraging the hierarchical distinction between historical materialism and political economy, the five-factor theory is elevated from the political-economic proposition of “determining labor productivity” to the materialist-historical category of “factors of productivity development,” revealing the dialectical connotations of stipulation and limitation inherent in the concept of “determination.” This elevation not only inherits and advances the multi-factor theory of productivity but also provides a theoretical reference for understanding new qualitative productivity.
