Labor is an important issue for Marx to solve the mystery of modernity.Labor is the most fundamental category in the historical development of human society.Labor is a concept with very modern significance.It is a problem that people have to face and think about every day in modern life.It is also closely related to everyone's life.But such a well-known thing is not simple at all.Even many people who are busy in it cannot really understand the essence and real meaning of labor,and even show their rejection of labor.When philosophers before Marx discovered labor,they had their own unique views on the understanding of labor.For example,ancient Greek philosophers believed that labor was a miserable activity that people escaped,classical economists believe that labor is the source of wealth creation,while Hegel raises the concept of labor to a philosophical level,regards labor as the essence of human beings,and considers labor as an abstract spiritual work.Marx intervened in the issue of labor in the book “Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844”.Marx still has the relics of Hegel.He tried to transcend Hegel on the basis of Hegel and believed that labor is the abstract essence of human beings,affirming the meaning of labor ontology,but the way human existence has not yet begun.Until in “Das Kapital”,Marx discovered that in the sense of historical materialism,he understood the subject of labor by understanding the way people exist.Therefore,So in this sense,it is meaningful to understand that Das Capital has found the problem of labor,this article discusses from the following four parts:First,through the analysis of abstract labor and specific labor in “Das Kapital”,it is found that modern society is constructed by labor,and the theoretical dilemma combined with the opposition of labor duality reflects that labor is a miserable activity in the logic of modern society.Secondly,based on abstract labor,the complex relationship among commodities,money and capital is analyzed.In capitalist society,abstract labor which creates exchange value becomes the essence of labor and labor itself becomes capital.Thirdly,on the basis of specific labor,this paper analyses the reality,historicity and sociality of labor,and reveals the truth of the development of human history through the logical advancement of multi-sensibility,practice and history.Finally,Marx believed that labor should be an ideal way of existence,based on dual labor,through demonstrating the construction of ideal labor by social historicity,practical constructiveness and unified dialectics,to realize the free and all-round development of human beings.Therefore,in the modern society,labor is afraid of avoiding,and the criticism of Capital is also our understanding of the economy of labor.What Marx wants to do is to correct people's concept of labor.He believes that in the true sense,labor is something we must voluntarily and consciously do from the inner sense.Therefore,our return to the humanization of labor is exactly what we are pursuing.The essence of making labor a human is through the reality of this paper.
