On Marx’s Values And Their Contemporary Significance

Marx’s values are an important part of Marx’s theoretical system.The formation of Marx’s values can not be separated from Hegel’s dialectical thought and the value theory of classical economics.On the basis of criticizing and inheriting the two,Marx formed his own values.He critically inherited Hegel’s dialectical thinking by drawing lessons from Hegel’s abstract thinking ability,and understood value as the condensation of human labor in things.At the same time,he critically inherited Hegel’s object method and interpreted human practice as "object activity".Classical economists used intuitive methods to analyze labor value.Although they found that labor played a great role in the formation of wealth in the industrial field,they did not correctly understand the theory of labor value.Therefore,the value thought of classical economists has not reached a certain height.Marx critically inherited the value theory of classical economists and formed his own values.Marx believes that value is the condensation of human labor in things.Marx put forward that the general labor as the essence of value is the abstract product of the development of human labor to the completion form,and the development of labor to the completion form is the socialized mass production.The emergence of socialized mass production is the prerequisite and objective basis for the formation of Communist society and Communist values.By using Communist values,Marx deeply criticized capitalist society,explored the essence of commodity fetishism in capitalist society,discovered the source of alienation of capitalism and the secret of capitalist exploitation,and highlighted the superiority of Communist values.By combing and exploring the connotation and application of Marx’s values,this paper not only helps to understand Marx’s values in depth,but also provides some theoretical guidance for the construction of socialist core values in China.
