A Study Of Marx’s Critical Thought On The Logic Of Capital

The logic of capital is the internal law and inevitable trend of capital movement under the capitalist mode of production,and the critique of capital logic runs through the whole process of the development of Marx’s theory.As Marx’s first economic manuscript,the Economic Manuscripts of 1857-1858(hereinafter referred to as the "Manuscripts")is an important "station" in the critical journey of Marx’s capital logic.On the one hand,discussing the critical thought of capital logic in the manuscript is conducive to deepening the understanding of historical materialism and grasping the relationship between the critique of Marxist political economy and major issues such as the replacement of social forms and human development.On the other hand,discussing the critical thinking of capital logic in the manuscript is conducive to deepening the understanding of the connotation of capital,clarifying the status and role of capital in the development of contemporary Chinese society,and building socialism with Chinese characteristics.In the Manuscript,Marx made a threefold critique of the logic of capital,which is existential,essential,and historical.The existential critique of capital logic takes Marx’s fetishistic thought as the core to reveal the social reality of human beings being ruled by things;Through the investigation of the special mode of production of capitalism,that is,wage labor,the essential critique of capital logic exposes the illusion of freedom and equality on the surface created by capital logic,and reveals the exploitative nature of capital logic;The historical critique of capital logic analyzes the historical existence of capitalist society from the historical process of human society,showing that capital logic has its premise,plays a great role in civilization,and tends to disappear and disintegrate.Marx’s critique of the threefold dimension of capital logic is an in-depth development of the critique of political economy,and at the same time plays an important and constructive role in the course of Marx’s thought,Marx’s critical analysis of the logic of capital in the manuscript constitutes the basic way for historical materialism to face social reality,promotes the development of the social form concept of the "three-form" theory,and has a unique theoretical contribution in the development of Marx’s thought.Capital under the socialist market economic system undertakes the role of driving the agglomeration and allocation of various production factors,the historical process of reform and opening up is the process of continuously rationally using the logic of capital and releasing the vitality of the development of productive forces and promoting economic development,the triple critique of the logic of capital in the manuscript helps us grasp the essence of the logic of capital,deepen the grasp and control of capital,deeply understand the possibility and rationality of the existence of capital in socialist society,the necessity and importance of using and regulating capital in parallel,Consciously undertake the historical task of controlling and then transcending the logic of capital and building a new form of human civilization that abandons capital civilization.
