Human beings are the fundaments of social existence and the purpose of social development.Among many others,the social division of labor with its factitious and organizational feature is a vital factor that could influence modern people?s existence and development.Therefore,the theory and practice of division of labor must be consistent with human nature and serve human existence and development.As a form of human social existence,the division of labor includes the division,coordination,social development,social anticipation and decision,permeating aspects of human life and forming up human existence and development.Observation of the different forms of existence and development of division of labor is an important dimension and criterion in judging social modernity;and probing of social human existence and development is the rational analysis of the reasonability of division of labor.Based on the development and evolution of division of labor,this thesis compares capitalist initiative division of labor with the Chinese half-conscious socialist division of labor to study the rationality and feasibility of Marxist theories in contributing to human free and overall development.We then evaluate the rational direction of development of the modern society as the gauge of modernity so as to facilitate the division of labor under the contemporary socialist practice with Chinese characteristics.Human existence and development,especially the relationship between division of labor and human free and overall development is the pursuit of value and essence of Marxism.However,this topic was treated as the key features of the ideal future society,the studies of which being limited to theoretical discussion,and the study perspective confined in the logical argumentation of human overall development.Some discussions even hold that current China lacks the conditions to adopt the ideal social division.Consequently the study of the Chinese free and overall development has been neglected or evaded.Facing the alienation of human life caused by existent social relations,we regard it necessary to study division of labor from the perspectives of its evolution and the practice of human existence and development.Applying Marxism,in this study we probe into dimensions of division of labor from the perspective of socialist half-conscious division of labor with Chinese characteristics,aiming at providing Chinese solutions to relevant problems.Basic structure and major contents of this study include:1.Preamble: including the background of the study,the dilemma of human existence and development brought by modern capitalist division of labor,significance of the study,review of relevant literature,approach and methodology of the present study,etc.2.Review of Western and Marxist studies on division of labor.This chapter deals with the definition of such concepts as division of labor,human existence and development,and so on;analyzes the positive and negative functions of division of labor on human existence and development;points out the confusion of division of labor versus social division of labor(in Marxism,there are social versus productive division of labor,disclosing the disasters that capitalist initiative division of labor brings to human society in the verification of evolution of societal transformation);clarifies key concepts and the theoretical and practical significance of the present study.Also reviewed in this chapter is the chronological development of Marxist theories on division of labor and human existence and development,including the influence of previous thoughts in this field,Marx?s criticisms on them and his own theories.On such bases,we further discussed Sinicized Marxist thoughts on division of labor,bringing forward the prospects of Chinese socialism in both theory and practice,history and logic.The chapter sets a solid theoretical foundation for further analysis on the differences as well as similarities,challenges as well as chances,problems as well as solutions between capitalist initiatives versus socialist half-conscious division of labor.3.Dilemma in and motivations to human existence and development under capitalist initiative division of labor.This chapter focusses on the influence of capitalist initiative division of labor on human existence and development: starting from the four characteristics of capitalist initiative division of labor,then analyzing the five aspects of dilemma it causes to human existence and development,ending in the causes to the dilemma.The whole chapter offers comparable referents to further discussions in the following chapters.4.Socialist half-conscious division of labor and human existence and development.This chapter focusses on the influence of socialist half-conscious division of labor on human existence and development: starting from the differences between capitalist initiative division of labor and socialist half-conscious division of labor,it analyzes the rationality of the current socialist half-conscious division of labor,and probes into the improvement and possible chances that socialist half-conscious division of labor brings to human existence and development.It finally compares the status and chances of improving human existence and development of the capitalist and socialist division of labor.Apart from that,it further studies the problem and challenges faced by the current socialist half-conscious division of labor and human existence and development.Starting from the perspective of division of labor,it elaborates problems such as passive labor division in international arena,subordinate division of labor,insufficient transferability of labor division,with special focus on how to realize the self-conscious elements into practice without overstepping certain stages.Then from human existence and development point of view,it sums up problems in five aspects and challenges in four aspects,which would help to solve the current problems of human existence and development,and offers reference to the improvement of socialist half-conscious division of labor.5.Chances and strategies in improving human existence and creating development.This chapter discusses the approaches to human free and overall development in current China,proposing five aspects of improving human existence and development,three aspects in creating chances of human development,four aspects of improving division of labor,and two aspects of improving the individual?s social interaction.Based on the perspective of developing social productivity and providing rich material supply,we propose such approaches and methods with Chinese characteristics in improving human free and overall development.6.Prospects of human free and overall development from the perspective of communist division of labor.Targeting at communist human free and overall development,we need to fulfill the comparative studies between initiative and half-conscious division of labor.The thesis starts from Marxist theory of division of labor,elaborates materialist approach to elimination of division of labor to the realization of human emancipation.First,it prospects division of labor and human free individuality development,discusses the inter-dependence between the two aspects and the necessary conditions;and then it prospects the enhancement of human overall emancipation through conscious division of labor;and on the assumption of realization of human free and overall development in pushing forward human emancipation,we propose that the complete development of social productivity should be the foundation of the realization of human emancipation in conscious division of labor.Finally,by comparing capitalist versus socialist division of labor and human existence and development,the thesis generates five conclusions.
