"The problem of man" is the core of Foucault's philosophy.To some extent,it is true that all Foucault's analyses(both archaeological and genealogical)revolve around the "human problem".Foucault himself has clearly stated that all philosophical questions can be boiled down to the question of "what is a man?" In subject and power,Foucault wrote: "all the most certain philosophical questions are probably the questions of the present,that is,what we are at this moment.He once stressed: "not power,but the subject,is the general theme of my research." Foucault,however,is known for more than his focus on the human problem."The problem of man" is the core of Foucault's philosophy.To some extent,it is true that all Foucault's analyses(both archaeological and genealogical)revolve around the "human problem".Foucault himself has explicitly stated that all philosophical questions can be reduced to the question of "what is a man?" Foucault wrote in subject and power: "perhaps the most certain philosophical question is the question of the present,the question of what we are at this moment."It can be said that throughout the history of philosophy,almost all the major topics of thinkers are related to people,and the starting point of marxism is also people.Marxism is about the theory of human liberation,is the highest,the most thorough humanitarian.What makes Foucault different is that he criticizes the human-centered theory of traditional humanism from the perspective of post-modernism,deconstructs and deconstructs the subject,and then comes to the conclusion of "human death",which becomes the backbone of post-humanism.This paper will use five chapters to discuss Foucault's post-humanitarian thought from the perspective of marxist theory.Chapter one,introduction.This paper discusses the basis and significance of the topic selection,clarifies the writing direction and train of thought of this article,finds out the suitable research method,and states the innovation points and shortcomings of this article through consulting and thinking about relevant materials at home and abroad.Chapter two: the historical evolution of humanitarian thought.The humanitarian thought is sorted out in the order of the time when the relevant schools of humanitarian thought came into being,which is mainly divided into the humanitarian thought since modern times and the humanitarian thought since modern times.Chapter three: the emergence of Foucault's post-humanitarian thought.Firstly,it states the social and historical conditions and philosophical theoretical environment for the emergence of Foucault's post-humanitarian thought.Secondly,it tries to study the influence of the relevant theories of Nietzsche,Sartre and Marx on the post-Foucault's humanitarian thought.Chapter four,the theoretical connotation of Foucault's post-humanism thought.It is mainly divided into two aspects: the elaboration of "the death of man" and the crusade against various theories of human nature.In this chapter,Foucault's later humanitarian thought will be analyzed by corresponding to the original works.The fifth chapter,after Foucault's humanitarian thought comments.This paper compares Foucault's post-humanitarian thought with marxist humanitarian thought and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of his post-humanitarian thought from the perspective of marxism.Chapter six,conclusion.This paper summarizes the main points of the whole thesis and gives a brief summary of Foucault's overall thought and theory.
