Research On Marx’s Theory Of Labor Happiness And Its Realization

Labor is an ancient topic and an important category of Marx’s great concern.Marx believed that labor is the essential characteristic of human beings,which constitutes the fundamental premise of the existence and development of human society,and also provides the inexhaustible driving force for the advancement of world history.Man’s subjectivity is manifested in the process of objectified and realistic labor,in which man’s essential power is manifested.Therefore,labor is the self-confirmation and selfrealization of people.People are not passive or passive in the process of labor,but active and active.A good life is created by people through labor,people obtain lasting and deep pleasure experience in labor,that is to say,labor is happy.Marx’s theory of labor happiness provides a theoretical weapon to examine and improve the contemporary labor problems,and it is still of great significance to explore and study it today.The theory of labor happiness was born out of labor misfortune in the capitalist society.In the turbulent Industrial Revolution era,the internal contradictions of capitalism became increasingly acute,and the struggle of the working class against labor exploitation and the call for freedom and happiness kept rising.Therefore,people’s voices and appeals for happiness also increased.Based on inheriting the traditional labor thought,Marx started with the "Economic and Philosophical Manuscript of 1844",which regarded labor as the essential characteristic of humans,and discussed the phenomenon of alienated labor in capitalist society.In "The German Ideology" co-authored by Engels,he established historical materialism and affirmed the influence of labor on human existence and development.In the "Communist Manifesto",Marx built a bridge between labor and happiness,and called on the proles to bravely pick up the weapons in their hands,for labor to create the right to happiness."Das Kapital" and "Critique of the Gotha Programme" put forward labor liberation,and reiterated the premise of labor happiness.The theory of labor happiness has rich connotation.From the general sense,labor with a positive existence to meet the needs of human survival and development,to provide material security for a happy life.Labor enriches human’s social relations and reflects human’s social values.From the point of view of alienated labor,Marx believes that labor is given mandatory under the capitalist system,and the greedy nature of capital and the emergence of private property make laborers miserable and separated from happiness.From the perspective of free labor,disposable free time provides possibilities for people’s growth and development,and the liberation of labor clears away obstacles for the realization of happiness.Marx’s theory of labor happiness is scientific and has direct reality.The realization of labor happiness is a dynamic process.In the stage of human dependence,workers belong to the community without a clear social division of labor,which is greatly restricted by nature.In the stage of dependence on things,the emergence of machines will liberate workers from nature,but they are ruled by "things" and gradually lose themselves.In the stage of free personality,the laborer’s common possession of the means of production makes labor return to the essence of man.Therefore,the realization of labor happiness is the unity of reality,dialectical and historic.Nowadays,although labor has a new form,but human labor is still the key to open the door of happiness.Marx’s discussion on labor and happiness laid the foundation of Marxist view of labor.At the same time,this theory also provides theoretical reference for establishing the socialist labor system,and reveals the ground for the realization of a better life.Under the guidance of Marx’s Theory of labor happiness,we should proceed from the concrete reality,advocate the positive working spirit,perfect the fair and effective labor system,and build a healthy and harmonious labor relationship.
