A Study On Marx's Critical Thought Of Power

In the traditional study of Marx's critical thought of Power is limited to political power such as state power or class struggle power,that is,he talks about power issues only when he criticizes the ruling class for oppression and exploitation of the ruled class.Therefore,the discussion or research of Marx's power thought is limited to a simple range.Actually,it only makes a very simple definition of Marx's critical thought of power.The development of Marx's philosophy is related to his improvement of the critical level of social reality,which includes not only the developmental clues of historical materialism and surplus value theory,but also contains a critique of power clues to reality of capitalism,which is synchronized with the development of Marx's philosophy of history.This clue has gone through the criticism of capitalism legal rights from the thought of early objective idealism and general materialism,by critique of capitalism political power on historical materialism in a broad sense,and then to the mature period criticizes capitalism economic power on narrow historical materialism thought.Of course,under the different periods and different historical thoughts,Marx's critical thought of power is not entirely different,but due to different dominant critique logic and different goals,and the latter stage is always in the previous stage on the basis of the formation.Article is divided into six chapters except introduction.According to the different stages of Marx's dominant philosophy critique logic,the author rethought the development of Marx's critical thought of power.The first chapter combs the historical background and theoretical origin of Marx's critical thought of power.In the 1940s,Western Europe began to develop the capitalist economy as a region where capitalism was first developed.Accompanied by economic development is the basic contradiction of capitalist society begun to emerge,originally advocated by the bourgeois illusion of freedom and equality began to appear,the power of capital began to play a role.The trend of socialism to criticize and transform capital power began to flourish.Marx's critical thought of power has found its starting point in this special historical environment.The social history of Britain,France,and Germany at that time provided historical and theoretical material for Marx's critical thought of power.The second chapter examines Marx's critical thought of power from the perspective of objective idealism.In the period of "Rheinische Zeitung,Marx's own philosophical methodology and social historical thought have not formed.He can only rely on Hegel's theory of "absolute spirit",as part of the political power struggle weapon,therefore,the critical logic of Marx's philosophy is objective idealism.Marx,with the press as the position through the participation of the real political power struggle,has been in-depth understanding the basic structure of society and the people's interests,needs and expectations.Marx seeks to change the existing social and political system,change the people's poverty and oppression,and realize the freedom of the people.The third chapter analyzes Marx's critical thought of power from the perspective of general materialism.This chapter starts from the summer of 1843,the young Marx's thoughts turn to the position of general materialism and communism.This turn is actually a unity of the three theoretical logical transformations.In "Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right" Marx first turn on the research to civil society,but has not yet in-depth study of civil society,in fact,just turned to the materialism in general.This led to Marx's critique of private ownership,which logically shifted from bourgeois democracy to philosophical communism.Then,as the logical result of the above two changes,Marx finally achieved a decisive influence on the formation of historical materialism in "Holy family".Therefore,in the development of Marx's critical thought of power,he realized the transformation of criticism from general legal right to the condition of capital power.The fourth chapter discusses Marx's critical thought of power from the perspective of historical materialism.This chapter tries to analyze the scientific connotation of Marx's critical thought of power and the transformation of the second thought through the text of this period.First of all,the author analyzes the critical logic of Marx's theory of power in the "German Ideology";Secondly,it examines how Marx can combine the historical materialism with political economy in the "The Poverty of Philosophy ",and gives a explanation about some basic problems of social and historical criticism theory;Finally,he analyzed the social and historical basis of the power that Marx demonstrated in the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" and the combination with the workers' movement.The fifth and six chapter studies Marx's critical thought of power in the narrow sense of historical materialism.This two chapters are based on Marx's"Das Kapital"and the Manuscripts,which are elaborated the capitalist economic power in the process of construction and criticism from six aspects:general commodity exchange system,capitalist commodity exchange relation,capitalist production process,circulation process,distribution process and consumption process.After Marx established the historical materialism methodology,his thought of power criticism from political power or legal criticism to why such private power produced such private relations and relations of production.The study on the relationship of production must be based on certain economic relationship,which turns to a study of economic power.
