The critique of modernity life concept,is in the background of modernity as a field problems,and in order to life concept as the breakthrough point of the problem,to do the different levels of study on this question,then use the marxist theory as a weapon of criticism,for analysing the fundamental problem of modern life and seeking the solution.On the one hand,the life of modernity is characterized by affecting the life of the micro political power,on the other hand,constituting the inheritance of the history cultural gene.To understand the life world of modernity,the article begins with a historical change of outlook of social modernity,from the capitalist economy,the consumer society and the aesthetic tendency,to examine the life of modern society and find the modern life concept of the origin,trend and internal tension.It can be seen,on the one hand,the life of modernity shows the rich material wealth which the rational spirit,capitalism and industrial made,the fast and efficient pace of life,the actual situation and white space form,the urban character of the personality and the modern peculiar aesthetic fashion.On the one hand,with the rich resources and convenient life,life has also a lot of problems.Briefly,the highly developed material achievements,and is increasingly significant spiritual crisis split between each other,to be the inner symptoms of constitute the modern life.They are not only a total of two tenses of historical events,and there are states of the logical link.First of all,the modern society begins the disenchantment of the world,it is on one hand lead to rising of subject consciousness,and the booming modern spirit trend and the industrial civilization;on the one hand,lead to losing of subjective consciousness by controlling others.Secondly,modern society is built on dissecting the bureaucratic society organizations rely on the principle of rational operations,this kind of organization form can guarantee the work efficiency and cost of output ratio,but can not guarantee subject as a kind of existence spiritual and moral code.So In fact,the living crisis of modernity due to the limitations of enlightenment.Enlightenment is the search for knowledge,but the essence of which is the control of the material world and people,it can not only bring the developed modern civilization,but also lead to control of the otherness and the neglect of ethics,the become a discourse of power.The purpose of this paper is to examine the inner contradictions of modernity itself,to discover the life the crux of modernity,by critical analysis of it,to explore the returning of all natural life.Criticism of the modern life,first of all,is a kind of subject consciousness,because the members of modern life is the modern people,the modern life view of the crisis is also a field of the subject consciousness of crisis under the modernity,it means the modern people's survival crisis,so the subject consciousness of modernity criticism need in the first place.Then,to make a criticism of social structure of modern life,because society is the sum total of social relations with people and the space of modern life,so social structure is different which at various stages of the modernity process of the development of capitalism,with the coming of post-industrial era,Marxist theory is still of critical theory and reality significance is the key of the need to investigate.What's more,we need to carry out the ideological level of modern life,because of ideology is refers to a period of culture,ethics,religion,art characteristics of the times and other kinds of abstract spirit,and survival crisis in the end is the modern culture in modern society is the crisis of modern spirit lost,thus ideological criticism is criticism of the capital culture world,and the core of the concept of modernity criticism.Life experience of capitalist modernity has experienced a process from open to closed,"Open" embodied in the frame of culture internal can fester and tolerance against content,and the integration of "Close" is embodied in the opposite,it means the disappearance of the negative and critical power.This is a gradual process,because western radical is originated in the capitalist society itself just capitalism theory framework of internal blenders,thus it for lack of life the crux of capitalist modernity criticism of Marx's theory of historical materialism and revolutionary thoroughness.In terms of subject consciousness,with the development of modernization,modern science and technology,modern achievements such as bureaucratic organization gradually are alienated for modern people,to make the subject consciousness into ontology lack of security,from Schopenhauer,Nietzsche to Baudelaire,Simmel,then to the modernism and postmodernism after 20 th century,the western social thinkers and artists are trying to care the lost subjective consciousness,but they are only in the theoretical deduction or emotional catharsis;Marx's theory of historical materialism is superior to the theory of thought and literature and art performance,it from the reality of social history,and points out that the capitalist modernity and the subject is the fundamental cause of the alienation relationship between exploitation of class society nature and dehumanization of capital logic object.In terms of social structure,represented by Daniel Bell of the western scholars think that Marx based on productivity and production relations class architectures are no longer suitable for entering the industrial society after the developed capitalist countries,in the post-industrial society,the dominant social economic form from the productive economy to a service economy;professional distribution of professional and technical personnel class society has become the dominant class,and jumps out of the marxist predictions on two big class divisions;theoretical knowledge in a central position,and become the main source of social innovation and policy making;from this and come up with the future direction,is the technology of control and evaluation.Thus may prevent technology with neglecting the moral alienation.This theory tends to fully reflect the developed capitalist countries the intellectuals weak in the theory of social structure,because the psychological reason is fear of class struggle in Stable wealthy capitalist society,and its social reason lies in the developed industrial society itself weakened class conflict,as a result of internal control.If we want to make a thorough critique of modernity for the capitalist social structure,must have to adhere to marxist productivity decision production relations,the economic base determines the superstructure of historical materialism,then to avoid a laborer is in tight social organization procedures and the bourgeoisie create comfortable life picture of destruction,and even forget their own class attribute and the actual status of the exploitation,and still keep the faith and pursuit of freedom liberation.In terms of ideology,modern society is not only a political and economic system,but also a type of experience about cultural life,the modern life based on bringing rules on the rationality,but it caused by social change and cultural change violently broke the old order and whole consciousness of life,to encourage people to the social environment of induction force into confusion and perplexity,disjointed moral and ethical code and the cultural tradition,so within the modern capitalist society caused anger with orthodox order to attack and destroy the subversion of the ideological trend,namely the modernist cultural zeitgeist.It as a capitalist society within a opposition,is capitalism in the field of aesthetics and art,modern self-consciousness for traditional bourgeois values and world view,is to use novel bizarrely for self expression do any praise.But due to the lack of theoretical basis,ethical and social responsibility,and devotion to form of trendy,it combined with commodity consumption gradually,become fashionable elements in their sales approach.This process essentially means that modern capitalism society internal opposition is a consumer society to neutralize assimilation.From rationalism to modernism and consumer culture,this is a process which embodies the cultural logic of capitalism's own evolution mechanism,if we want to also criticizes the capitalist ideology,must be based on the foundation of marxist political economics,through a concrete analysis of capitalist social economic order,to the logic of capitalism,out of the dependence of the object on the basis of the independence of the people,then to the person's overall liberation.Therefore,this article structure to take the form of its excellent,from shallow to deep,from phenomenon to essence,can thoroughly completed step by step from the deconstruction to the reconstruction of the critical path,based on the investigation to the life view of the social and historical change of modernity,the modernity in the vision of the life world analysis and critique of modernity's way of life,showing that Marx's historical materialism for accurate understanding the modern's life experience,analyze problems and solve the problem of life is of great significance.Marx's criticism of modernity in a capitalist society under analysis and there is a parallel of the two paths,one is the path of the critique of political economy,it is the foundation of marxist theory,the other is the path of the cultural criticism,this is the theory of the marxism theory to plump material,which can not be ignored.Only accurate understanding of modern culture and the political economy of highly accurate analysis,in order to achieve the life view of accurate understanding and strong criticism of modernity,then to the pursuit of true goal in life.
