On Alinson M.jaggar’s Theory Of Female Alienation

Alienation is a concept used to describe the relationship between subject and object.This relationship mainly refers to the object as the creation of the subject,which evolves into a force that controls the subject.Alienation is a key concept that connects Marx ’s early and late thoughts,and provides ideas for subsequent Western Marxist philosophers to criticize capital society in all aspects.The alienation theory of the predecessors was inherited critically by Marx and creatively proposed the theory of labor alienation.Marx believes that the alienation of the proletariat’s labor is mainly manifested in the following four aspects: the alienation of labor products,the alienation of production activities,the alienation of human nature,and the alienation of relations between people.Marx’s labor alienation theory profoundly reveals the proletariat’s existence under capitalist economic conditions.On this basis,it points out that the root cause of labor alienation is the existence of private ownership,and further proposes that the method of eliminating alienation is to eliminate private ownership.Marx thus demonstrated that capitalism is bound to perish and communism is bound to come.Alison M.Jaggar is one of the representatives of contemporary Western Marxism and the main representative of socialist feminism.Along with the development of the capitalist economy,the overall social situation has also undergone corresponding changes.Women ’s survival and living conditions have different expressions compared to the period of Marx ’s life.Under this new situation,Alison M.Jaggar combined Marx’s classic theory with feminist theory,used dialectical materialism and historical materialism,and put forward the theory of female alienation based on Marxist labor alienation theory On this basis,the specific manifestations of modern female alienation,the roots of alienation and the specific solutions to eliminate female alienation are discussed.According to Alison M.Jaggar,modern femalealienation is mainly manifested in: alienation of sex,alienation of motherhood,alienation of mental intelligence and alienation of femininity.Alison M.Jaggar believes that the existence of patriarchy is the essential cause of female alienation.In her view,if the patriarchy is not eliminated,even if communism is reached,women cannot achieve full liberation.Alison M.Jaggar thus proposed specific ways to eliminate female alienation,such as: achieving female reproductive freedom,carrying out labor reforms,establishing independent female organizations,and finally realizing the awakening of female subjectivity.Alison M.Jaggar’s theory of female alienation extends the dimension of Marxist theory from a gender perspective,extends Marxist theory to feminism,and makes up for the gender blind spot of Marxist theory.Alison M.Jaggar ’s female alienation theory also objectively promotes the development of feminist theory.By criticizing liberal feminism and radical feminism,it proves that socialist feminism is a more objective and practical feminism.Theory has enriched feminist theory to a certain extent.Through his analysis of the existence of capitalist women,Alison M.Jaggar criticized the distortion of human nature by contemporary capitalism and deepened his criticism of capitalism.However,it is undeniable that Alison M.Jaggar ’s inadequate analytical perspective has led to the scale limitations of his criticism of capitalism,which has led to the one-sidedness of his theory.
