Research Of Marx’s Thought On Happiness Of The People

Happiness has always been a universal pursuit and a desirable vision for all humanity.The Communist Party of China has always aimed to seek happiness for the people as its value pursuit.With the entry of socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era,new and higher requirements have been proposed to achieve the happiness of the people.On the one hand,it requires us to make more visible and substantive progress in practice,on the other hand,it also requires us to further explore the theoretical connotation of the happiness of the people.The concept of the happiness of the people in the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics not only comes from the development history of human happiness,but also mainly derives from the Marxist theory of happiness,especially Marx’s thought on happiness of the people,which originated from a deep interpretation and development of Marx’s theory.Marx’s thought on the happiness of the people seeks to achieve the happiness of the people based on the reality of the pursuit of happiness by all humanity,especially the proletariat and the working people,and in the historical laws of human social development.Through in-depth observation and analysis of the living conditions of the working class in capitalist society and a rational criticism of the operating mechanism and internal contradictions of the capitalist system,Marx revealed the laws and trends of human social development.Marx’s thought on the happiness of the people is a guide for the proletariat to achieve happiness.For the first time,Marx examined and investigated the issue of happiness from the perspective of the people,and based on the fact of the alienation of people in capitalist society and the lack of happiness among workers,he proposed the ideal of achieving universal happiness through the free and comprehensive development of individuals,and scientifically depicted the beautiful picture of the full realization of happiness of the people in communist society.In-depth study and systematic interpretation of Marx’s thought on happiness of the people provide theoretical support for the realization of the common happiness of the people under the background of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,and have important theoretical value and practical significance.This article takes the formation and development of Marx’s thought on happiness of the people as the main line,and explores the historical background,theoretical origin,basic content,contemporary inheritance and development,and the value and significance of the times of the thought on happiness of the people,through a research method that unifies history and logic,and combines theory with practice.The article systematically and deeply analyzes and sorts out the idea of happiness of the people in Marx’s classic texts.Firstly,the historical background and theoretical origins of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people are explored.On the one hand,explore the historical context on the formation of Marx’s thought of happiness of the people from the historical background,with the rapid development of capitalist productive forces and the establishment of capitalist systems,leading to the extreme deterioration of the living conditions of the working people who were completely transformed into the proletariat.The increasing contradictions between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie became increasingly evident.Marx was attentive to the living conditions of the proletariat and the development of the workers’ movement,and their awakening process and pursuit of a happy life provided a practical basis for the formation of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people.On the other hand,the theoretical background of the formation of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people is traced back to various sources such as the ancient Greek philosophy of happiness,the medieval scholastic philosophy of happiness,the utopian socialist philosophy of happiness,and the philosophy of happiness of German classical philosophers.Secondly,the historical evolution of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people is comprehensively analyzed and examined.By employing a research method that combines history and logic,the four stages of the germinal period,preliminary establishment,mature establishment,and deepening development of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people are analyzed and discussed,with Marx’s works in different historical periods being the main basis and theoretical foundation.The core viewpoints and major arguments of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people are extracted and summarized,revealing the consistency between the development of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people and the progress of human society and history.Thirdly,the basic content of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people is systematically explored.The connotations of the people and the essence of happiness in the context of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people are analyzed,and it is established that the subject of happiness of the people is the people,the real individuals in real life,and that the essence of happiness is the comprehensive possession of human nature.Happiness of the people is a dialectical and practical generation and a historical category.In the discourse system of Marx’s thought of happiness,the essence of happiness means happiness of the people.From the subjective conditions,objective conditions,practical paths,ideal prospects,and ultimate goals of realizing happiness of the people,Marx’s scientific construction of happiness of the people and his comprehensive revelation of the forms of realizing happiness of the people are expounded,and the basic features of Marx’s concept of happiness of the people are summarized,including its unity and emphasis on both class and people,science and practice,material and spiritual happiness,and individual and social happiness.Fourthly,study on the inheritance and development of Marx’s ideas on happiness of the people in contemporary China.With the process of Marxist sinicization and modernization,Marx’s thought on happiness of the people have deeply influenced the pursuit and practice of the Chinese Communist Party in its long-term revolutionary and construction processes.Starting from the struggle and value logic of achieving happiness of the people in Chinese socialism with Chinese characteristics,this point discusses the theoretical explorations and practical process of the Chinese Communist Party for the happiness of the people during the New Democratic Revolution,socialist revolution and construction,the reform and opening up,and socialist modernization periods,up until the entry of Chinese socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era.Fifthly,discussion on the value and significance of Marx’s thought on happiness of the people in contemporary times.Marx’s ideas on happiness of the people provide a value guide and spiritual impetus for achieving happiness of the people in contemporary times,and the development of Marx’s thought on happiness of the people in contemporary times also requires sinicization and modernization,further strengthen the mass foundation of the theory,enhancing the international discourse power and international dissemination power on the concept of happiness of the people,and providing Chinese solutions for the realization of human happiness.
