With the transition from history to world history,globalization has brought about rapid economic and social development.Human society enjoys the richest material resources in human history and is also under the profoundest materialization rule.In a world ruled by materialization,human beings are qualified to possess objects only by existing as things.This is the most authentic materialization logic in reality.The critical thought of materialization is the core content of Marx’s entire critical thought.From the early critical thought of alienation to the later critical thought of materialization,the core is to criticize the shackles of the things that bind people.For Marx,his lifelong pursuit is to eliminate materialization and realize human freedom and liberation.Commodity fetishism,currency fetishism,and capital fetishism are materialization logic of "Das Kapital" to deeply analyze the materialized logic of capitalism by the logic of capital criticism.Its essence is to reveal the "relationship between people" under the cover of "relationship between things".This is the key to construct the critical logic of materialization of capitalism.In the capitalist commodity economy,the form that can truly embody things is fixed capital,but it is the circulating capital that can truly express materialization.This is the duality of materialization.In short,the image of "things" does not represent the essence of materialization,and the essence of materialization does not appear as the image of "things".However,the two are well integrated.This is the abstraction of criticism of materialization and the dialectic of "Das Kapital".Based on the textual content of Marx’s "Das Kapital",this paper studies Marx’s critical thought of materialization from the following three parts.The first part clarifies several prerequisite issues of Marx’s critical thought of materialization."Das Kapital" is the core text that contains Marx’s critical thoughts of materialization.To explain clearly the critical thought of materialization in "Das Kapital",several prerequisite issues must be clarified: the relationship between "Objectification","Alienation",and "Reification" with the criticism of materialization.These concepts are all important concepts in the critical thinking of materialization."Objectification" is manifested as materialization under specific production conditions in the economic field;"Alienation" is the early concept used by Marx to expose the facts of materialization;Both " Reification" and "materialization" are concepts used by Marx to analyze the phenomenon of materialization,but "reification" only discusses that the "relationship between pepole" is inverted into "relationship between things" from the level of social relations,and "materialization" directly reveals that "the relationship between things" hides "the relationship between people"The second part discusses the theoretical context of the critical thought of materialization in "Das Kapital".According to the theoretical context of "Das Kapital",it is pointed out that commodities are the logical basis of the critical thinking of materialization,currency is the in-depth interpretation of the critical thinking of materialization,and capital is the axis of the critical thinking of materialization.It also exposed that the subjectivity of people was replaced by "things" in the materialized world and people become vassals of "things".Based on "Das Kapital",this paper studies the critical thoughts of materialization under the capitalist production relations,and the cruel exploitation of workers under the fair appearance of materialization,explores how people and things are reversed in wage labor and exposes the fact that the social relationship between people is concealed by the relationship between things in capitalist society,and reveals the reality of human existence in the world of capital logic.The third part discusses the theoretical purport of the critical thought of materialization in "Das Kapital".Marx’s critical thought of materialization is not only to reveal the history of reality,but more importantly to present the reality of human existence in this critical way,to eliminate fetishism’s confusion and control over people through the disenchantment of fetishism at the conceptual level,to find a powerful weapon for overcoming materialization at a realistic level,to liberate the "relationship between people " from the "relationship between objects and objects",and realize the theoretical interest of comprehensive development of human liberation and freedom.
