The article is based on Max and Engels'first collaboration book——The Holy Family as the research material. In order to lay the foundations of grasping Marxist ethics thought in the general and provide theoretical direction for reality moral construction, I have unscrambled the whole text and explored the ethics thought it presents in depth. In the prolegomena, first it analyzes the writing background of The Holy Family, then it has a briefly pectination about the contents of the book; at last it analyzes its historical position in the works of Marx, especially the status of the ethics thoughts it contains in the whole ethics thoughts of Marx.The first chapter of the thesis narrates the venation of the development of Marxist ethics thought. It(?) follows along the clue:from the impacts of enlightenment thoughts on Marxist ethic thoughts, to ethic turn caused by the Marx's concern over the problem of realistic interests, and then to the analysis of the social ethical entity by Marx, finally to the establishment of personal free and all-round development goal of the ultimate value. We not only can clearly know the position of The Holy Family in the development route of Marx's ethics, but also can pursue its developing path and seize the ethic theme that Marx cared for. The second chapter is the main body of the article, whose main content is to analyze the ethics themes(?) The Holy Family contains. The Holy Family is an argument work in which Max and Engels constructed new philosophy through the criticizing of the young Hegel parties' speculative philosophy. Thus, the second chapter of this paper is around the two clues 'the criticism of abstract moral philosophy' and 'the establishment of the basis of reality interests'. We first analyze Marx's criticism on 'self-consciousness speculative philosophy''moral redeemed theory and religious doctrine','abstract people' moral subject and so on; then analyze Marx and Engels' ethical thinking and views during the process of criticism. In The Holy Family, Marx criticizes the moral redeemed theory of abstract notion proposaled by self-consciousness philosophy and holds the pinion of that moral should build on the basis of material. Marx thinks the liberation of human beings should not be 'the pure ideological movement of brains' but 'the realistic person's changing the realistic situation'. He points out that the working class is practical and engaged in practical power that they bear the mission of creating history and promoting the development of history.The main content of the third chapter is the historical significance of the ethics thought in The Holy Family and its enlightenment of today's moral construction. In the early start, it analyzes the historical significance of The Holy Family in thought connection of Marx and Engels'works from the perspective of inheriting the past and usher the future in thought:the conclusion of the Marxist ethics thought and influence on the further development of thoughts. Through exploration, the paper finds some concepts appeared in The Holy Family for the first time become the themes that Marx concerned about all his life. Then the chapter analyzes the real value of ethics thought in The Holy Family especially the enlightenment sense of Marx's the unique way of thinking and perspective of his study on today's moral study and construction. The perspective of Marx's thinking way of ethics problem is from realistic person and comprehensive analysis of people's problems through specific and relative social reality and historical background. Marx fights against viewing people as abstract and isolated individuals and proposal analyzing people in real social relationship. The way of thinking and the exploration of saving problems are worthy of our learning, which also should be our behavior principles of analyzing today's moral problems and handling moral conflicts. To care for people's problems, one must pay attention to people in social relationship and realistic interests; to care for moral construction, one must interest basis of moral and moral practice.
