Study On Young Marx’s Religious Concept

This thesis takes the young Marx’s view of religion as the research subject.Through analyzing the religious thoughts of different periods,it is concluded that the religious view of young Marx is not equal to the religious view of marxism.The critique of religion is a clue that runs through the young Marx’s view of religion and has a great influence on Marx’s thought.Although the young Marx’s religious thought is not the most important content of Marx’s ideological system,Marx’s thought actually began with a religious critique."Criticism of religion is the premise of all other critiques." In order to understand Marx more comprehensively and deeply,In thinking,we must understand and clarify his attitude toward religion.From this perspective,it is very necessary to study the concept of religion of young Marx.The young Marx was not a natural Marxist.His religious view experienced the idealist religious view under the influence of the youth Hegelian self-concept,the materialist religious view under the influence of Feuerbach’s humanism,and the historical materialist religious view formed during the formation of historical materialism was such a complex and ever-changing process.The idealist conception of religion influenced by the self-consciousness of the youth Hegelian school reflects the rational thinking of the young Marx on religion.The materialist religious view under the influence of Feuerbach’s humanism embodies the young Marx’s realistic thinking on religion.The historical materialist religious view during the formation of historical materialism embodies the historical thinking of the young Marx on religion.These three periods embody the development of the young Marxist religious thought.From self-consciousness of humanism to historical materialism,it not only reflects the continuous development of the young Marx’s understanding of religion,but also reflects his constant deepening of the theory of religion.Judging from the concrete evolution of young Marxist religious thoughts,he has different views on religion in each period,and each period has different understandings of the origin,essence,function,and extinction of religion.In the process of young Marx continuing to discard and transcend the religious ideology of others,we need to discern the individual Marxist religious view and Marxist religious view,and we must not simply equate the young Marx’s religious view with a scientific and thorough Marxist religious view.Studying the evolution of the young Marxist religious view not only helps us to examine our country’s religious cause in a more active and rational manner,but also helps promote the healthy development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
