The Historical Evolution And Theoretical Reflection Of Social Division Of Labor

In order to deepen people's awareness and understanding about the social division of laborand the law of its development,based on the unity of history and logic,beginning with the basicconcept of the social division of labor,the paper mainly,gradually and profoundly explores andstudies the historical process,the nature,type,root causes,the status and role in the developmentprocess of human history and the objective evolution laws of the social division of labor,theconnotation and implement process of Marx's"the elimination of the division of labor"thesis andthe social division of labor in the perspective of the socialist harmonious society,etc..This article holds that the social division of labor is the human labor form of social existence;it has gone through a development process from simple to complex,from macro to micro andfrom junior to senior.The development of social division of labor,on one hand,registers as theimprovement of social labor refinement and the degree of specialization,on the other hand,itmanifests the replacement of the social division of labor in different forms of ownership.Theformer is an objective trend in the interaction between the social division of labor and productivity,the latter is characterization in stages of the social division of labor in different forms ofownership and distribution.Therefore,the social division of labor not only reflects the relationshipbetween man and nature;but also reflects the relationship between man and man,and also therelationship of contradictions movement between man and man and between man and nature,it isthe direct production embodiment.From the relationship between the social division of labor and productivity,the developmentof social division of labor depends on the development level of productive forces,and to someextent to promote the development of productive forces,but under the system of privateownership of the means of production the social division of labor is essentially a spontaneousdivision of labor,and it will become the resistance force of social development.From therelationship of the social division of labor and relation of production,the social division of labor isa direct manifestation of the relations of production,in different forms of ownership the socialdivision of labor is bound to have different social status and social role,and under the system ofcapitalist private ownership of the means of production the social division of labor will makeworkers lose more and more independence,become more and more unilateralism and then getlopsided development.Social division of labor is a unity of productivity labor division and social labor division.productivity labor division,which is caused by meeting the need of production,is a kind ofprofessional and specialized labor,it can inevitably improve labor efficiency,and it has acontinuous refinement and differentiation trend of historical development;social labor divisionrefers to the identity and social status differences which were showed during the workers engagedin specialized,professional work under the specific ownership and distribution,it is not only aintensive performance of social inequities and injustices,but also further exacerbate socialinequity and injustice phenomenon,the demise of the social labor division is the inevitable trendof social development.Scientific and reasonable division of labor is the best combination ofefficiency and fairness,and is also the unity of tool ration and value ration between the productivelabor division and social labor division.It is in the process of pursuing scientific and reasonabledivision of labor that human beings continually push social division of labor move forward. "Old-style division of labor"refers specifically to a kind of typical social labor divisionwhich caused all the inequality of human society and impeded human freedom and all-rounddevelopment in private ownership system,it is the direct object of Marx's"eliminating thedivision of labor".Despite the"eliminating the division of labor"is the inevitable trend ofhistorical development,but"old-style division of labor"can not be merely eliminated by people'ssubjective will or imagination,eliminating"old-style division of labor"need not only to havecertain realistic conditions,but also go through a long process of development.It can not onlyshorten the historical process of"eliminating the division of labor",but also further promote thefreedom and all-round development of human beings that human beings can do things inaccordance with the laws of the social division of labor and its development and make fully use ofpeople's initiative during human beings' own social practice.The complexity and diversity of the social division of labor is the typical characteristics ofcontemporary society,the relationship of interests is the core and the essence of the relationship oflabor division,the harmonious labor division is the foundation of social harmony.Socialisticharmonious social division of labor,which adhere to the principle of maximizing the use ofresource,developing the production relation harmoniously and making people free and all-rounddeveloped,is a kind of scientific and rational division of labor which can realize harmony betweenpeople and nature and between man and man..It requires the unity of humane care and thescientific spirit,the unity of fairness and efficiency and the unity of t ideal and reality.Socialisticharmonious social division of labor not only conforms to the objective laws of development ofsocial division of labor,but also meets the practices needs of socialist market economydevelopment,and it is the essential requirement of the scientific concept of development.Adhering to people-oriented and scientific development,depending on the basic nationalconditions,adhere to,strengthening institutional innovation and actively integrating into theglobal trend is the basic path of building a socialistic social harmonious division of labor.It is themain measures of building socialistic harmonious social division of labor that our governmentadjusts and optimizes industrial structure,promotes the market developed soundly,upgrades thelevel of agricultural specialization,coordinates the relations between the employer and theemployee and between the cadre and the mass,narrows the regional gap and the gap between therich and the poor,eliminates the urban-rural dual structure and promotes social development ofjustice and impartiality.Currently,the interest relation of our society is complex in our country,and the old and unreasonable international division of labor still exists and influences our world,and so on.These factors determine that building socialistic harmonious social division of laborwill be a long process of development.
