| Better life is the eternal pursuit of human society.Regardless of time and region,as long as people get rid of the pure need for survival,they will consciously seek and explore the need for a better life.The longing for and pursuit of a good life is not only a practical and feasible theoretical goal but also a practical life practice.As the core element of a good life,a good life needs to reflect the stipulation of Marx’s human nature directly or indirectly while discussing it.Based on the background of the new era,this paper starts with the internal clue of the need for a better life stored in Marx’s view of human essence,and combs out the most fundamental essential characteristics of human being reflected in labor practice,the most realistic essential characteristics of human being reflected in social relations,and the deep essential characteristics of human being reflected in human needs.Taking Marx’s view of human nature as the starting point,materialistic,practical and active representation of the need for a better life is the logical starting point and premise basis.To explore the deepening and development of the need for a better life under the goal of human’s essential value: human’s social nature plays a foundation role in the need for a better life,human’s development nature drives the need for a better life internally,and human’s social nature becomes an important guarantee for the need for a better life,which reflects the characteristics of the need for a better life consistent with Marx’s essential view of human value.The need for a better life is exactly the reality reflection of human nature under the current social and historical conditions.By facing the major social contradictions in the new era,encouraging labor and creation,and combining with the realistic demands of the people in the new era for a better material,spiritual,political,social and ecological life,it reflects that the satisfaction of the needs for a better life can promote the return of human nature,make people move towards free and conscious activities and achieve the ultimate aim of human all-round development.The formation of the need for a better life is not only a development strategy of The Times,but also a state of life in which the ultimate ideal of society is unified with reality.The satisfaction of the need for a better life cannot be separated from the support of human nature,and the realization of a better life cannot be separated from the realization of human nature.Therefore,we must be guided by Marx’s theory of human nature,combined with the current reality to explore the effective path to meet the needs of a better life.This study is beneficial to the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the realization of a better life for human beings. |
