Looking For The Life Meaning Of Human

As a unique spiritual phenomenon in the human life, the root of the faith issurvival, the existence of faith is as real as the existence of human. Man is “the beingthat must inquire and examine the conditions of existence in every moment.” Basedon the human existence to reveal the ontological foundation of faith, the interpretationof faith from the perspective of survival theory is necessary. Faith is the conscioustranscendence that the human spirit carried to the reality because of the desire to thelofty, in essence, it is the unique way people looking for the meaning of life andexploring the true meaning of existence. Based on the logical premise that the root ofthe faith is survival, according to the practice-survival thought of Marx, the paperwill study the problem of faith from the perspective of survival theory. It will explorethe relationship between faith and people’s survival and development from threeangles. It will highlight the era value of Marxism belief in search of true, free andperfect survival realm of human.The first part answers the basic problem about "what is the faith" from thestandpoint of existentialism. With the growing of human survival crisis, westernphilosophy relentless questioning "how to understand" turned to reflecting "how tosurvive". The development of survival philosophy opens up a new philosophicalparadigm, helping people break through existing crisis and confirm the value of theexistence of life. The survival philosophy focuses on exploring the life belongs to thepeople. Around this problem, the existentialists carried on their beliefs search path.Kierkegaard insisted "paradoxes" theory, Heidegger expected "this in blossom", Sartrepursued freedom of "existence precedes essence". These ideas are the reflection ofreal life that keep questioning the meaning of life, these ideas have left a preciousspiritual wealth for human civilization. However, this existential philosophy way istoo focused on the individual perceptual existence to give a full and complete care forhuman life. Marx’s practice-survival ideology regards "personal world" as the spaceof human being, concerns about people’s social class historic survival. It goes torealize the ultimate goal of human existence---the liberation of freedom, opens themore abundant living horizon. By using Marx’s practice-survival ideology, the faithis rooted in the survival of human practice; the original consciousness of faith is rooted in the survival of human consciousness, faith points to the significance ofhuman life beyond him. Faith is the cultural, spiritual, meaningful form of willexpression about human existence.The second part explores the nature of faith linking the faith and the classpresence of people. The paper takes Marx’s understanding about "the person isconscious beings" as the premise, it is based on "the existence of human", standing onthe position of the outlook of practice of Marxism, it links faith with human culture,the way to grasp the world, the integrity existence and ultimate concern fromexistential perspective. Faith is the core value of human culture. Faith providesinherent support for the moral by its inherent values. Initiative within the faith makesup for the legal rigid defects. Faith guides the development of science by its influenceon the person’s state of mind and practice. Faith gives soul to art because of itsultimate concern to human life. Faith is the highest form of human consciousness.Faith is eternal way that human holds the world. Faith makes humans break theoccurred limit in understanding and transforming world and realize conscious spiritbeyond. Faith is the highest unification of human diversity. The integrity of humanlife is a dynamic process in the practice of diversification with the development,according to the different life state, faith presents the variety of types and constitutesan organic unity system, people’s liberation and all-round development is the ultimatevalue choice. Faith is the unique human ultimate concern. Faith embodies humanspiritual care, it is rooted in the reality of human life, it is a pursuit and transcendentprocess. It is the necessary life state of human being to explore the ultimate meaningconstantly by faith.The third part puts faith in the history of human development to analysis its basicform dynamically. The paper is based on Marx’s thesis on the "world-historical humanexistence". It makes full use of the open method of this theory and discusses tightlyaround the person’s world-historical existence, it analyses the basic form of faith fromthe point of view of historical materialism in the broad view of world history. Thebasic form of the faith can be divided into primitive faith, traditional faith and modernfaith. The primitive society is the first form of the development of human societywhen the human belief can be initially formed. In this stage, people completelydepends on the nature and groups because of low productivity, the primitive faithbecame strong spiritual power that helped people confront powerful forces of natureand maintain a unified community. In the class society, rule to obey relationshipbetween people formed with the emergence of private ownership, class and nation. Faith reflected this trend of class differentiation and served the particular needs ofsociety. In the traditional class society, anthropogenic religion emerged from theoriginal natural religion and people begun a rational philosophical thinking. Religiousand philosophical beliefs cared for the meaning of human life in different ways. In themodern society, along with the material dependency-based development of humanindependence, Marxism belief, humanism belief and scientism belief developedrapidly and became the main form of modern faith.The fourth part digs the belief crisis of social historical roots by using the methodof historical materialism. Man’s real life activities is the basic premise of man’sspiritual life, principles of truth and value reflect the inevitable pursuit of human lifeactivities. The firm belief of the practice-survival human is the unity that is“believed” and “valued”. Once the balance between the truth and valuedimensionality is broken, people will be caught in the survival dilemma, crisis of faithalso can hardly be avoided. From the point of view of the subject, crisis of faith is acrisis of the subject value choice. From the point of view of the object, crisis of faithis a crisis of truth about specific object or specific content. From the view of integritysurvival of human, crisis of faith is an inherent necessity that contains turnaround. Thefeasibility way of belief reconstruction includes taking the mainstream culture as aguide, basing on the traditional belief and regarding a variety of faith as the carrier. Interms of contemporary social belief crisis in China, in order to realize the faithreconstruction, it is necessary to adhere to Marxism belief dominantly, pay attentionto the social function of the traditional belief based on the Confucian belief and creatediversity and harmonious social environment to promote the co-prosperitydevelopment of faith.The fifth part links the Marxism belief with man’s all-round development toreveal the value of Marxism belief. All Marxist doctrine can be understood as theultimate purport about "human liberation" and man’s all-round development. Marxismis a scientific theory, also a scientific belief. Marxism belief caused a great change inthe history of human belief. Standing on the height of historical materialism, Marxismregards human liberation as the highest ideal, Marxism has carried on the theoreticalexploration about the evolution of man’s all-round development, Marxism haslaunched the realistic way of realizing man’s all-round development. On the whole,Marxism is to change the world and create the highest level of human existence.Therefore, as long as the development of human freedom is not achieved and thealienation of human existence state is still there, the value of Marxism about person’s full scale development care will not go out of style. Socialism with Chinesecharacteristics is the embodiment of the practical character of Marxism belief. It is thecombination of people-oriented "ultimate ideal" and the world-wide social andhistorical "real movement" in Marxism belief. In contemporary China, thecombination between theory of Marxism in China’s approach and the reality of thesocialism with Chinese characteristics path is to create a new state of being andcivilization. It makes a contribution to the solution of the contradiction of existenceand survival crisis existing in the human society. However, there is still a considerabledistance from our ultimate goal to achieve the comprehensive development. We needto have firm confidence and patience. What we can do and should do now is to keepfirm Marxism belief and walk forward along the road to socialism with Chinesecharacteristics.
