Marx's thought is a holistic system of thought, various specific ideas mutuallylinked and closely related. Theory of civil society and the modernity thought, as the twoof Marx's thought, there is an intrinsic correlation integral part in the developmentprocess, reflected in three aspects.In the critical inheritance of Hegel's theory of civil society foundation, Marx putforward "the civil society is the foundation of the political state" judgement, whichmark Marx's materialist theory of civil society and modernity thought analysizing"citizen society" as the core beginning. Hegelianism is the starting point of thedevelopment of Marx though, the "doctoral thesis" and the "Rheinische Zeitung" earlyon, Marx convinced of the idealism and rationalism of Hegel, during which his theoryof civil society and modernity thought are still in infancy."Doctoral thesis" runsthrough the principle of "self-consciousness", Marx praised the theme of human rights,freedom and equality of civil society by the principle of "self-consciousness", andhighlighted the modernity of the Enlightenment."Rheinische Zeitung" early, Marx bymaintenance of a free press safeguarded the rights and interests of the laboring massesin order to celebrate the modern rationality and spirit of the Enlightenment.LateRheinische Zeitung, Marx encountered extremely distressed "material interests", hebegan to doubt their own faith of Hegel's idealism and rationalism, in order to liquidatehis idealist beliefs, he started Hegelian philosophy of law especially civil society theory,and in the critical process he proposed that the civil society is the foundation of thepolitical state which contrary Hegel's, which mark Marx materialist theory of civilsociety and modernity thought beginning. Since then, Marx continued to explorepolitical emancipation and human emancipation of civil society, which furthered thetheory of civil society and the modernity thought.Marx uesed historical materialism to in-depth analysis of the civil society, andcomprehensivly elucidated the historical materialism-based theory of civil society andmodernity thought. Since1844began to study political economy, Marx graduallypenetrated within the civil society, the use of historical materialism gradual formation of public social goods, money, production, capital and other analysis, revealed thealienation and materialization of the civil society, and the essence of the logic of capital,making the full elucidation of the historical materialism-based theory of civil societyand modernity thought. At the same time, thanks to "scientific" demonstration ofhistorical materialism and the theory of surplus value, Marx's civil society theory andmodernity thought have been further improved to reach maturity.On the basis of scientific proof of historical materialism and the theory of surplusvalue, Marx pointed out the develop the useful and discard the useless civil society andrealize the human liberation is the only way to overcome the inherent contradictions ofcivil society and solve the dilemma of modernity, that Marx's theory of civil society andmodernity thought has been further sublimation.The intrinsic associations between Marx's civil society theory and modernitythought for the Chinese modernity construction especially the socialist civil societyconstruction has an extremely important reference. In view of the civil societypromoting modern development and hindering the development of the modernity at thesame time because of its internal contradictions and defects, therefore, the currentChinese socialist modern construction, should walk out of a road of Chinesecharacteristics, through the construction of Learning-oriented Political Party, the servicetype government construction, breed social capital, strengthen civil society organizationconstruction and the construction of democracy and legal system and other measures topromote Chinese socialist civil society construction, through the system of socialistpublic ownership in the leading role, try to avoid the civil society to moderndevelopment of block.
