Development And Alienation

The Materialized thought is Lukacs' continuation and development of Marxism . To a large extent, it demonstrates his remarkable theories creativity and firm stand of proletarian revolution. Marx's Alienation of historical materialism think alienation is that the results of people's activity is opposed to people,people fail to control this power ,instead, they are controlled by this power. The destination of Marx's Alienation theory primarily focuses on the social economic areas of Capitalism. His criticism to alienation points to the economic exploitation and political oppression of capitalism. So, his theory of ideology pays more attention to revealing the social system roots of ideology falsity from the stand-point of historical materialism. Marx advocated the proletariat launching violent revolution to overthrow the exchange system of Capitalism practically and eliminate alienation.The Materialization of Lukacs is the condition that the natures of man conflicts with their existence, people change from subject to object, the activity of people and its structure and products change into a self- discipline power ruling over and controlling people in turn. In that condition, people become servant of things, and human relations represent the relationship between things. On the basis of this concept, Lukacs, whose critical spirit is in agreement with Marx, elaborated his critique of the politic, culture, science and philosophy in capitalist society. His unique Materialized Ideology provides new resources for the research of the future generation on Alienation and Ideology. Specifically speaking, Lukacs thought that the generalization of capitalist materi- alization impels the formation of the bureaucratic system in political field, penetrates human mind in cultural dimensions, forming the non- critical materialized consciousness. It also brings about one- sidedness of bourgeois science and philosophy, and rigidity of history and science. In his Ideology, Lukacs pointed out that materialized consciousness, the representation of bourgeois ideology, plunge the bourgeoisie and the proletariat both into fact worship, they failing to grasp the true nature of general history. To eliminate alienation, we should establish the class consciousness of the proletariat consciously. Lukacs' Materialized Ideology, understanding ideology in terms of conception of society and history, provides bran-new perspective for the research on Ideology.But, from the meaning of Lukacs' materialization, we can find that his Materialized thought is essentially a kind of conception of humanism. He believed that in human civilization there is conflict between two spirits all along, the conflict between humanism which thinks human subjectivity as the core and the scientific spirit characterized with rational mechanization and the principle of computability. With the abroad application of science and technology, and the increasing development of instrumental rationality, human subjectivity is destroyed under certain conditions. Man is becoming computable and abstract atom, losing their status and dignity to be human. Because of that, Lukacs also took a critical attitude towards science and technology. He even thought that the materialized state of human attributes to the development of science and technology, and that human is enslaved by productive forces on the whole. In the way of sublating materialization, Lukacs resorted to the awakening and maturity of the class consciousness of the proletariat. All of that obviously manifest Lukacs' speculative logic of philosophy, which is similar to Marx's Labor Alienation in"Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844". They are both out of the social and historical roots of materialization and alienation, ignoring the material foundation of eliminating materialization and alienation. But Marx discarded this Alienation of humanism after 1845. He then turned to explain the historic and temporary nature of alienation from the actual process of social life of human. He pointed out that the roots of alienation are division of labor and private ownership. To sublate alienation, we should first develop the productive forces vigorously to create abundant material basis, depend on the proletariat breaking up the state apparatus of the bourgeoisie through violent revolution, seizing state power, and socialist public ownership replacing it. Owing to his anti-science tendency, Lukacs was out of the practice line of historical materialism, slide to messianic utopia, and was ultimately involved in idealist interpret- tation of history of humanism.
