Understanding And Construction Of A Good Life

To a certain extent,any philosophical theory is a symbol of human desire for a good Life,the same,all the ideals of human desire for good life can be expressed in a philosophical way.The ancient Greek philosophy opened up a dimension of the ideal life of mankind,and preserved a spiritual space for mankind to live more freely and more meaningfully.This paper attempts to analyze the relationship between Marx's philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy and points out that the dimension of ideal life of mankind is the inner dimension of the Communist ideology.This paper argues that,in order to promote in-depth study on the Communist theory and the Marx's philosophy,to find out the combination of Marx's philosophy and the modern people's living style and life style,to open out and realize the contemporary value and ideal of Marx's philosophy,to realize the contemporary revival of the theory of communism and Marx's philosophy,the essence of Marx's philosophical revolution should be understood as a kind of ideal of life.The aim of communism as an ideal of life lies in the combination of the reality of contemporary Chinese society,trying to create a philosophical theory which can reflect and solve the problem of Chinese nation own life in the vision of Marx's Philosophy,to be specific,it is to realize the ideal of the free development of everyone in Marx's sense on the basis of socialism with Chinese characteristics,To realize our nation own good life.Introduction: this chapter drew forth the matter of good life,pointed out that philosophy,at least from the time of ancient Greece,had already contained the pursuit of the ideal of good life.In a certain sense,all philosophical theories contain the ideal of a better life for mankind,with the change of modern western philosophy so called living world,people's understanding of "good life" has also undergone a fundamental change.Marx has long discerned the shift of philosophy to life,and in the reality of human activities,in the goal of reforming the world,completed realistic understanding of human being,human life and human history.In this sense,the special significance of Marx's philosophical revolution lies in finding the realistic basis and realizing path for the life ideal of ancient Greece.In this regard,we can consider that Marx's philosophy,especially the Communist ideology of Marx,contains the exploration for a better life for mankind.Chapter One: The dimension of life which explored by theory of philosophy and the philosophy dimension of human life are mutual entanglement,interpretation the unity of philosophy and life.The question of the good life is the mission and ideal of philosophy since ancient times.The ultimate purpose of exploring the theory of philosophy is to make the reality and the specific individual to lead a better life.At least from Socrates,philosophy has undergone a transition from the mere pursuit of wisdom to criticizing or clarifying the premise of the unconscious and unconditional,highlights a transcendent dimension,and the power of transcendence and criticism constituted a dimension of human ideal life,that is the hope that we can live a better life.The first section of this chapter describes the inchoation of good life,through the understanding of Socrates and Aristotle's good life,the author points out that the ideal of life is closely related to the mission of philosophy since ancient Greece.The second section points out that the dimension of human ideal life created by ancient Greek philosophy is a precious legacy to mankind.In the third section,the author discussed the relationship between Marx's philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy to cite the dimension of ideal life is the inner dimension of Marx's Philosophy,especially the inner dimension of communist ideology.Chapter Two: The understanding of communism as an ideal of life is not imaginary,in this chapter,though the study of Marx's works,we interpret the theory of communism from the process of conception,perfection to elucidation as the process of ceaselessly giving communism the spirit and meaning of life ideal.From Economics and Philosophy in 1844 to the German Ideology,to the Communist Manifesto,although the expression of Marx's theory of communism has changed,but the essence of Marx's theory of communism can still be unified in the meaning of life ideal.Through the investigation of the above text,the meaning of the life ideal of communism,the realistic meaning and the picture of the good life that it presents have been presented in detail.In the first section of this chapter,the original meaning of the communist ideal of life is presented through the investigation of the Economics and Philosophy in 1844,the second section probes into a practical understanding of the life ideal of communism,though the study of the German Ideology,the third section presents the realistic picture of the life ideal of communism through the investigation of the Communist manifesto.Chapter Three: Marx's communism not only expressed care on the most basic requirements of subsisting and living state of the proletariat,but,at the same time he expressed the highest ideals of finding an ideal state of life for the proletariat and realizing the free development of all people.This highest ideal contains a philosophical expression beyond the real life of mankind.Marx,on the one hand,pointed out that the inevitability of the victory of the proletarian revolution comes from the reality of the development of human material productivity,on the other hand,he also describes an ideal world of the proletariat and all mankind's ultimate liberation.The understanding of Marx's communism as a kind of ideal of life embodies the theoretical purport facing to the realistic life world of mankind is originally contained in Marx's thought.Through the analysis of the method of combination of speculative and empirical,critical and empirical,such is embodied by communism,we can give a general description of the essence and significance of the ideal of life,that is "to discover the new world in criticizing the old one".The first section of this chapter demonstrates the dual logic and dual dimensions of the life ideal of communist.The second section of this chapter summarizes the essence and significance of the life ideal of communist,which is the participation and involvement of philosophy in the historical process of human life in a special form,which is a comprehensive critique of capitalist way of life.Marx's theory of human liberation as a social revolution is a protest against inhuman life,it is the theoretical and historical expression of the reality of the ideal of human liberation,is a sense of social criticism in the historical movement.The third section of this chapter discusses the understandings of good life by western philosophers after Marx.It points out that these ideas(Honneth and Heidegger)provide a new way of understanding a good life.Chapter Four: Communism as a kind of ideal of life profoundly reveal of contemporary Chinese theory on the exploration and imagination of a good life.Mr.Zhao Tingyang has proposed the Philosophy of Tian Xia which trying to provide a peace and safe guarantee for the realization of good life of mankind.Mr.Gao Qinghai put forward Genus Philosophy facing to the present situation and future development of mankind.President Xi Jinping put forward "the Chinese dream" which is the most common and truest imagination of the Chinese nation's good life,based on the profound traditional cultural of the Chinese nation.These theories and ideas,as the exploration of the ways and methods to solve the global problems faced by the Chinese people in the vision of Marx philosophy,will provide a new possibility of thought for people to get rid of the crisis of modernity,for guiding people to the community,for achieving good life for all mankind.The first section of this chapter describes Zhao Tingyang's Philosophy of Tian Xia which provides a thought,ideological sources and theoretical preparation for a better solution of the world's problems and achieving better common life for mankind.The second section of this chapter describes the Genus Philosophy which understands the future development of mankind and society from the vision of human genus nature,as a new way of thinking,can provide some new ideas for the liberation of mankind.The third section of this chapter describes seeking the new direction of the good life in modern civilization,in the foundation of Chinese traditional culture,and in the perspective of Marx's Philosophy,also describes good life of Chinese nation's and "the Chinese dream" of the Chinese people.The point of view through the paper is that: communism,according to the most common understanding,means a perfect social formation and perfect social system,but according to such understanding,an intrinsic ideal dimension of communism is obscured.As a result,the understanding of communism as an ideal of life can cause the appearance of the hidden dimension,and also enable us to have a new philosophical thinking to think and to understand the matter of good life.Marx's communist ideal is to realize the liberation of the proletariat and mankind,fundamentally speaking,the very practical expression of the ideal of the very liberation is the proletariat's demand for good life.In this sense,Marx's philosophy,or more specifically,that Marx's communism was never far from the real world of human life.Marx's insight into the plight of the proletariat in his time fully demonstrate his theory,in particular,the theory of communism is the best and most thorough theory of the proletariat to achieve a good life.In this sense,facing of the reality of contemporary Chinese society,we should also try to create the best and most thorough philosophical theory which is able to rethink and solve the problems of our Chinese national own life in the vision of Marx's Philosophy.Specifically speaking,that is to think about how to realize the ideal of the free development of each person in the sense of Marx's Philosophy on the basis of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and realize good life of our own nation.
