| Communication is the basis for enhancing social ties and promoting social development.It plays an irreplaceable role in the evolution of human society.However,in the capitalist society,there has always been the problem of alienation of communication,and both the subject and relationship of communication have appeared the phenomenon of materialization.Marx’s communication alienation theory means that the subject of communication is affected by the materialized communication media and means so that one party’s reasonable freedom and power cannot be satisfied and guaranteed,and then the subject of communication presents a state of opposition and conflict.The normal communication relationship is free and equal,while the alienation of money,the generation and development of credit industry etc.,make the alienation between the subject of communication to appear and gradually increase.The way to discard the alienation of communication is to abolish the system of private property,eliminate the rule of things over people,realize the comprehensive and free development of people on the basis of highly developed social productive forces,and finally realize communism.The formation of Marx’s alienation theory of communication has its specific historical background and ideological origin.From the perspective of the historical background,the capitalist productivity was unprecedentedly developed during the first industrial revolution,and the conflict of interests and contradictions between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat became increasingly sharp and intensified,which provided realistic conditions for Marx to think about the alienation of communication.From the perspective of ideological origin,Engels’ theory on the category of political economy,James muller’s theory of political economy with strong class nature and vulgarization,and the alienation thought of classical philosophers prompted Marx to start dialectical analysis and study of political economy problems in capitalist society.The development course of Marx’s theory of alienation of communication is mainly reflected in classic works such as the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844 and Comments on Mill.The Manuscript of Economics and Philosophy in 1844 is the embryonic chapter of the theory of communicative alienation.The dissimilation of human beings has paved the way for the theory of alienation of communication.The important discussion about exchange and consumption in Mill’s Commentary enriches the theory of alienation of communication.German Ideology and Economic Manuscript of 1857-1858 further developed the theory of alienation of communication.From the historical inevitability of alienation of communication and the dialectical negation of alienation of communication,it can be seen that Marx’s theory of alienation of communication has become more scientific.Marx’s alienation theory of communication is an important theoretical exploration of innovation and foresight in Marx’s research on alienation theory.This theory not only has profound theoretical significance in enriching marxist alienation theory and promoting the formation and development of historical materialism,but also has practical significance in revealing the internal contradictions of capitalist society and guiding the construction of harmonious communication environment. |
