Research On The Relationship Between Interests And Ideological And Political Education And The Value Of The Times

The vitality of Marxist theory lies in its reliance on practical problems and its continuous enrichment and development with the development of the times,in order to play its guiding role in practical activities.When Marx expounded his philosophy theory,Political economy and Scientific socialism theory,the issue of "interests" became a very important clue to reveal the essence of human beings and the driving force of the continuous development of social history.It can be said that the exploration of the principles and problems of interests has become an important theoretical cornerstone for Marx to construct the world outlook and methodology of Dialectical materialism and Historical materialism.The issue of "interests" in classical literature is closely related to ideological and political education.Its basic principle is an important principle of Historical materialism,that is,social existence determines social consciousness,and economic foundation determines superstructure.The issue of "interests" is undoubtedly the core issue of economic foundation,as Marx pointed out: thinking without interests will make a fool of itself.As a superstructure construction behavior to defend national ideology,ideological and political education is inevitably subject to the issue of "interests" in the economic foundation.Therefore,if ideological and political education is carried out without considering the issue of "interests",it will undoubtedly lack the support of economic foundation,and even become a "rootless tree,passive water".In classic Marxist texts,there is a two-way interactive relationship between "interests" and ideological and political education,that is,not only does the economic foundation determine the superstructure,but the superstructure also acts on the economic foundation in turn.Therefore,the two-way interactive relationship between "interests" and ideological and political education is manifested as: on the one hand,"interests" play a decisive and fundamental role in ideological and political education;On the other hand,ideological and political education,in turn,has a normative and guiding role in "interests",and the interaction between the two constitutes the basic structure for carrying out ideological and political education and improving its effectiveness.The relationship between "interests" and ideological and political education is not only a major issue of Marxist theory,but also a major theoretical and practical issue that philosophers are most concerned about in Chinese traditional culture and Western philosophy.In traditional Chinese culture,there have been discussions on the issues and relationships of "righteousness" and "profit",such as Confucius’ proposal of "a gentleman’s love for wealth is justified",Mencius’ proposal of "fish and bear’s paws cannot have both",and "sacrificing life for righteousness",all of which express the direct impact of "profit" on human "values".In the historical process of the development of western society,the issue of "interests" is its main concern,especially the relationship between "interests","capital" and "wealth",which has been intensively analyzed by western classical Political economy.On the basis of analyzing the benefit theory of western Classical economics and combining with the realistic socio-economic Relations of production,Marx formed his Historical materialism benefit view,thus providing a rich theoretical basis for the internal relationship between "benefit" and ideological and political education.The concept of "interest" in Marxist classic texts contains multiple contents,including both the "material needs" related to material production activities,the "spiritual pursuit" of knowledge and science,and the "political needs" to meet one’s own rights.Whether it is individuals in society or society as a whole,everything they strive for is related to "interests".It can be seen that the issue of "interests" has always been a practical and decisive factor in all social life.The classic literature also fully presents the multiple connotations of ideological and political education.With the development of history and Class consciousness,ideological and political education has gone through the process of production,development and perfection.Its essence is to mobilize the people to actively participate in the cause of revolution and reconciliation aimed at communism.The people are the creators of history,and ideological and political education is directly related to the material life and interests of the people.Therefore,the subject of ideological and political education is the people.The satisfaction of social material interests,the ultimate realization of the ideal of free and comprehensive development of people,and the realization of free liberation are the spiritual power of ideological and political education to mobilize the people to understand and change the world.Interest and ideological and political education share a common mass foundation and value orientation,and interact with each other in practice,history,and society.Firstly,interests play a fundamental role in ideological and political education.Ideological and political education requires social members to meet the requirements of social development,to reflect the political purpose of the Ruling class,and to require the educated to acquire the corresponding knowledge,skills and moral qualities.Interests exert influence on ideological and political education from these aspects,establish ideological premise,clarify political attributes,and guide educational practice.Secondly,ideological and political education has a normative effect on interests.As an important tool for promoting ideology,ideological and political education can reflect the ideological and political relationships of a certain class,awaken the interests and demands of the masses,promote social development,and narrow the social interest gap,promote interest fairness,maintain social harmony through value guidance functions.At the same time,it can stabilize the relationship between interest subjects,promote the realization of interests,and promote the completion of interest goals through regulation.Correctly understanding the connotation and relationship between "interests" and ideological and political education,standing in the context of the new era and from the perspective of the discipline of ideological and political education,helps to improve the method system of ideological and political education,expand its content,and clarify its value orientation.It has practical significance for the construction of the theoretical system of ideological and political education,and also provides a path basis for the Party and the country to regard ideological and political work as the lifeline of all work.
