| The formation of Marx cultural thought is based upon some definite historical background and theoretical foundation. Seeing from its forming background, the macro background that Marx establishes his cultural thought fells on the emerging and rapidly developing of capitalism as well as the increasingly swarming of proletarian revolutionary movements, while the opposition between capitalist and proletariat creating a increasingly serious even irreconcilable contradiction,the cultural problem appeared and drew a public attention under that circumstance; from the theoretical reason, the researching and thinking pursued by philosophers before Marx formed a theoretical foundation for his cultural thought. Renaissance, in a great sense, unbounded the human thought and ideology, emancipating humans from the rule of feudalistic thought and theological value, and also Vico initiating the cultural theory, enlightment of Kant cultural philosophy, inspiring from Hegel cultural thought, as well as the leading role of Morgan cultural speculation, all played an important theoretical directing function in the producing of Marx cultural thought.The creation and development of Marx shows an objective real process. From the textual illustrations of Marx’s classical works, we can explore the trace of the creation, development and maturity of his cultural thought-the 1844 economics and philosophy manuscripts making a scientific illustration about the reason, essence of the creation of culture, and the value of culture,symboling the formation of Marx cultural thought;--The German Ideology making a further exploring and explaining about the creation and development of culture from the point of historical materialism, signifying the increasing maturity of Marx cultural thought;--The Communist Manifesto announcing an objective evaluation for capitalist culture, at the same time systematically illustrating the construction of "world literature",functioning as the programmatic document of Marx cultural thought;-- Capital questing the cultural problem from the point of"human",being the symbol of maturity of Marx cultural thought;--The Ethnological Notebooks mainly explaining the diversity and unity presented in the development of culture, showing the exploration about cultural problem in Marx’s later years.In this essay, it presents a macro generalization about the concrete content of Marx cultural thought from six points-the origin of culture, the essential attributes, the value and function, the organization structure, the main characteristics and its developing direction, meanwhile illustrating the theoretical features of Marx cultural thought from three dimensions-class character, scientificity and practicality.Marx cultural thought functions with significant value and status in the evolution of the holistic human cultural thoughts and the Marxism cultural theory, for the creation of Marx cultural thought pioneers a new era for the study of human culture philosophical thought,meanwhile it forms the basis for the creation and development of Marxism culture. Marx cultural thought offers a significant theoretical and practical value for our current construction of advanced socialist culture, which is to spread national culture, to treat foreign culture properly, to enhance cultural self-consciousness, to improve cultural confidence and to realize cultural self-strengthening. |
