传统生产力定义有三个缺陷:第一,没有表明人类发展生产力的目的;第二,没有表明生产力的可持续发展性;第三,没有将非物质生产力涵盖在内。本文认为生产力应定义为人类基于自身生存和发展的需要,自觉认识、改造客观世界,创造、生产满足人类相应需要的物质产品和非物质产品的能力。 The definition of traditional productive forces has three defects: first, it does not indicate the purpose of human development of productive forces; second, it does not indicate the sustainable development of productive forces; third, it does not include the non-material productive forces. This paper argues that productivity should be defined as the ability of human beings to consciously recognize and transform the objective world to create and produce the physical and non-physical products that meet the corresponding needs of human beings based on their own needs for survival and development.
