On Marx's Concept Of "Life"

The concept of "life" is a unique perspective of our understanding of Marxist philosophy.In Marx's philosophy,the concept of "life" occupies the core position,which runs through the Marxist philosophical system.It is an important ontological category for Marxist philosophy beyond the metaphysics of science and achieve the philosophical revolution,which highlighting the unique philosophy of life of Marx's philosophy Theoretical quality.This article attempts to explore Marx's "life" concept from six aspects.First,pursuit the source of "life"and ask the historical origins of Marx's life concept along the development of western philosophy.Highlight the uniqueness of Marx's life through combing the "life" in the history of the western philosophy of the different stages of fate.The close relationship between philosophy and life can be traced back to the ancient Greek period.Experienced the original religious life,simple natural life,speculative rational life,people have a preliminary understanding for nature and human beings.Thinking and reflection of life has become the earliest and most important direct source of Marx's concept of "life".However,in the development process of Western philosophy,they gradually get out of the "life" foundation,deviated from the reality track of "life".Philosophy began to stay away from "life",and even forgotten and abandoned the "life",until contemporary philosophy return"Life" and focus it as a philosophical focus,then philosophy re-enter life.However,the modern Western philosophers return to the irrational life and the daily life which is only a certain aspect of life.In essence,it is still a spiritual life which out of the material reality and dispelling the perceptual existence.Only the Marxist philosophy get into the emotional life and achieve the return of life horizon.Second,along the development of Marx's philosophy,back to the era of Marx,through Marx's writings,combing the change,develop and improve process of Marx's life.The meaning of Marx 's concept of "life" is gradually changing with the development of Marx's philosophy.It is developed and perfected in the course of Marx's step-by-step theory exploration."Doctoral thesis" is the earliest product of young Marx's face of life.During this period,individual freedom constitutes the center of Marx's "life" concept.In the Hegel Criticism,he profoundly criticized the traditional religious life and the real life under the feudal autocratic system in Germany,and established the goal of realizing human liberation as the ultimate goal of all criticism and the ultimate goal of real life.At this stage,although Marx has the germination of the concept of life,but the understanding of "life" is still confined to the traditional philosophy of the cage.In the period of "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844" and "Holy Family",Marx began to analyze the real life of capitalism in a comprehensive and in-depth way,and truly realized the realistic turning of the concept of "life".In the "manuscript",he in-depth analysis of the capitalist society alienated life phenomenon.In the "sacred family",Marx turned his attention to the material production as a birthplace of history,began to pay attention to the social status and real life of the proletariat from the perspective of human societyhistory.Subsequently,Marx from different levels and aspects to further deepen and develop the "life" concept.In 1845,"Feuerbach's Outline",Marx further enriched the concept of "life" from the point of view of practice,and understood "life" as the objective practice of human beings who were in a certain social relationship.In the"German ideology",Marx confirms that people's most fundamental practice is the production activities,and further the material production activities as "life" basis and center.In the "Communist Manifesto",Marx stood at the height of historical materialism,through the analysis of the development trend of the whole human history,for human freedom and comprehensive development of the basic ideas and specific implementation path."Capital",Marx from the economic point of view of the capitalist social form of a scientific analysis,exposing the capitalist social life of the material nature.From Marx's classic writings,we can see that "life" is not only the starting point and destination of Marx's philosophy,but also runs through Marx's whole course of thought,and is always the theoretical theme and value of Marx's philosophy.Thirdly,how to realize the concept of Marx's "life" is to realize the complete subversion and comprehensive transcendence of traditional philosophy.Looking back at history,Western traditional philosophy is above the real life,or hovering outside of real life,never face "life" itself,really into the "life",in-depth grasp of "life",revealing "life" Nature.They either escape real life,seek spiritual solace in the spiritual world,or indulge in abstract life,capture real-life projections in conscious minds,or live in a certain level of life,isolate life,one-sided,or stay on the surface of life,Ignoring the life of the multi-dimensional and three-dimensional,has always been unable to achieve through the practice of human survival of the reality of human care,grasp the ultimate fate of mankind.And from the traditional philosophy of the West,Marx's "life" concept to achieve from the escape to live life,from abstract life to real life,from isolated life to full life,from the plane life to three-dimensional life,from life to change life change.Through the concept of "life",Marx realized the traditional philosophy in the theoretical direction,based on the foundation,research vision,construction of the picture and the ultimate goal of the traditional philosophy of the complete subversion and beyond.Fourth,in-depth analysis of Marx's "life" concept of the basic content.First of all,production as the basis for the existence and development of human history,is the"life" the most basic requirements.In a sense,when productive forces develop to a certain extent,into the communist stage,production is fully integrated into life,production is equal to life.Second,the production is only the basic form of practical activities,the full implementation of practical activities constitute the people of all"life",so practice is the "life" of the essence.Practice or people rich real life,transformation of real life,shaping the ideal way of life.Once again,daily life and non-daily life constitute the whole content of "life",is a real life rich content and a variety of levels of comprehensive display,Marx constructed real life world,it is practice-based daily life and non-daily life The unity.Finally,the core of the concept of life is that Marx's realistic human activity is the core of the interpretation of life,the whole sensibility of the world and human history as a realistic individual through emotional activities to create the product,and ultimately how to achieve human liberation To obtain the free development as the value of life,aim to construct a unique Marxist view of life,Fifth,from the ontological dimension to establish the "life" concept in the position of Marxist philosophy.Marx returned to the real world of life,with "human perceptual survival activities" as the basis of human existence,human real life as the ideological theme,human life value and survival meaning as the ultimate concern,will have open,The concept of "life" in the future,and the possibility of "life" as the ontology of Marxist philosophy,completely surpassed the traditional philosophical ontology,and truly assumed the task of understanding and transforming the world.A deep concern about the value of life and survival of life ontology.Sixth,clarify the importance of life concept to Marxist philosophy and practice the contemporary value of Marxist view of life.The concept of "life" laid a deep foundation for the establishment of historical materialism,which is an important symbol of Marx's realization of its philosophical view.Through the concept of "life",Marx established.the.dominant position of man,clarified the central position of production practice,expounded the possibility of human freedom and liberation,demonstrated the infinite care of human real life situation,but also for people's real life Practice and change.Marxist philosophy itself is a philosophy of life for the future life,always concerned about the real life of Marxist philosophy is to maintain a lasting vitality of the key lies.With the development of human society and the advance of history,people inevitably encounter a series of survival problems and life contradictions,all this makes people's lives into a dilemma,triggering a serious crisis of survival.In the face of the present situation of life,we should dig out Marx's theoretical resources about "life",examine the daily life dilemma in the face of the times,and strive to practice the Marxist view of life:develop production to improve life and improve Spiritual life,care for daily life,eliminate alienation of life,advocate green life,the only way to guide people to get rid of ecological homes,spiritual homes and social homes of the plight,to resolve the survival crisis,optimize the living conditions,and ultimately achieve an ideal life.
