Evolution Of Marx’s Ideological Theory And Its Contemporary Enlightenment

Before the concept of ideology was born,people had been in a society where ideology played an important role.From the "cave metaphor" and "idealism" of Plato in ancient Greece to the discussion of "cognition falsehood" by British empiricists,and then to the thorough sensationalism of French Enlightenment scholars,philosophers have already begun to discuss people’s understanding and knowledge acquired by people.After French philosopher Tracy founded the concept of "ideology" in the early 19 th century,ideology gradually became an independent theory that attracted more and more scholars’ attention.Although the Spiritual Phenomenology of Hegel,the German thinker and Feuerbach’s religious criticism theory,although they do not use the concept of ideology,their thinking about ideology has important significance in the history of ideological theory development.Only their idealistic tendency and materialism of separation from practice make people’s understanding of ideology out of the real world.The first industrial revolution since the 1940 s and the great changes in the real world and the field of ideology have deeply influenced Marx.He found the irreconcilable social contradictions in capitalist society,found the conservative weakness of German bourgeoisie,and found that the workers’ revolution needed scientific theory guidance.On this basis,Marx established the materialist view of history,and the scientific ideology theory has gradually formed.Looking at the main research direction of Marx’s theory in different historical periods and the main works in different periods,we can find that Marx’s ideological theory has an evolution process.This process can be divided into four stages,namely,the stage of philosophical criticism,which criticizes the German Ideology represented by Hegel’s philosophy;the stage of theory formation,which constructs its own ideological theory on the basis of the previous criticism,and makes a relatively concentrated discussion on ideological issues;the stage of political economy criticism,which focuses on the bourgeois politics The stage of governance economics,criticizing bourgeois economic ideology and "fetishism" concept;the stage of retrospection and prospect,namely,the stage of retrospection of the ideological problems of ancient society and the stage of prospect of the ideological characteristics of Communist society.The article analyzes the evolution of Marxist ideology theory,and finds that the evolution of Marxist ideology theory is regular and logical,and has distinct evolution characteristics.The evolution of Marxist ideology theory has a clear logical logic in theory logic,historical logic,value logic and practical logic.This evolution is closely around the theme of "real people" material production practice,pointing to the elimination of ideology and the end of ideology extinction,and adheres to the unified method of theory and practice in the evolution.In today’s increasingly fierce struggle in the field of ideology,combing the evolution of Marx’s ideological theory and summarizing the logic and characteristics of the evolution of the theory are of great significance to correctly understand and understand the issues related to ideology and promote ideological work in the new era.
