This paper back to the historical the source of modernity,on the basis of in the Sum the views of major theorists not only to re-examine the nature of the discourse of modernity implication,and combined with the history of the formation of historical materialism,in context of historical materialism in the field of vision or language Habitat,critical the discourse of modernity Not only from Meaning but also its basis get to understand it.Thus,also pointed out the different nature between Marx's Critical theory of capitalist society and the modern theoryAs to modernity theory,the rational was served as its essence,stems from the modern enlightenment,then we return to the discourse of modernity at the source,from the era of the historic transformation to explore rational meaning for the formation and development of modern society,thus,not only to identify the essential characteristics of discourse of modernity,and sum up the historic relationship between it and Marx.in fact,Marx don't refer concept of "modernity" and set out clearly its problems.However, there is a profound "Modernity" Meaning in the early Marxist thought;Marx not only Enlightened by thought and discourse of " Modernity ",but also use its to engage critical rationalism of feudal despotism and humanist criticism of modern capital.Set up the system of discourse of modernity - the modernity of rational discourse logic and humanism of the modern discourse logic However,in the creation of the process of historical materialism,Marx not only completely Correct Marx's belief in his own philosophy,and completely abandon the "discourse of modernity" thus,in the context of historical materialism is not only form its own unique social critical theory,and carried out comprehensive study and critical of historical materialism to modern capitalist society,thus not only thoroughly destroyed the theory of metaphysics that the "modernity" based on from philosophy,but completely destroyed its sanctity from the reality.Since "the discourse of modernity",as a means of identification about modern capitalist society are rooted in the reality of capitalism.If there is no criticism of the social reality to capitalism,the thorough deconstruction to "discourse of modernity" is impossible.Thus,Marx's "discourse of modernity" is not only criticism of a theory,but also criticism of a reality.So,in Marx's perspective,the modern society is not the formation and development of modern society is not the rational process which guided or controlled by the spirit but is the inevitable process of the replacement of old and new modes of production.But he also believes that the essential feature of modern society lays in the logic of capital,which,due to constraints of the basic contradictions of capitalism,the modern society is not the universal,eternal,justice of the Kingdom. Thus,the values of modernity Is false,it is the bourgeois ideology that reflect economic and political interests of the bourgeoisie.In this regard,Marx believed that only when the revolutionary practice of the reality of capitalist society criticism fundamentally change the way of the existence of human society in order to not only solve the various contradictions and crises of the capitalist society,but fundamentally beyond the cultural values of capital modernity,and to overcome their falsity.Thus,with the end of a modern capitalist society,not only the various "Modernity" discourse including post-modern discourse will be declared the end,but also the various contradictions and crises of capitalism "modernity" of to be resolved,.In short,although there was the period of modern discourse in the course of Marxism in his thought However,with the creation of historical materialism,Marx not only to completely abandon the modernity discourse,and completely destroyed destroy the sacred.Therefore,Marxism has not critic and gone beyond a kind of theory of modernity and then founded a new theory of modernity.In contrast,because of his critical theory of capitalist society has always based on its philosophical foundation of historical materialism,thus,it will not be overtaken by a variety of modernity theory, including the post-modern theory,and it is not end as modern capitalist society end,it is new,scientific and strong discourse system of the era,and its presence is objective and "natural." This paper is divided into five parts.The first part reviews the basic problems of modernity discourse and designates its essence.The second part indicates the history relationship of Marxism and it,so as to further indicate Marx's rational modernity discourse and humanism modernity discourse;the third part indicate the creation of historical materialism and its meaning of critical of modernity discourse;The fourth part is A comprehensive exposition of Marx's critical theory on the capitalist society,the generated logic of modern society,the nature of identity and historical limitations,and pointed out that the class nature of modern discourse and the path beyond capitalist modernity;Partâ…¤outlines the meaning of Critique of Modernity words in historical materialism;...
