The Relationship Between Marx’s Communication Theory And Habermas’ Communicative Rationality

In traditional interpretation of Marxist philosophy, the "association form" is a prototype of Marx’s concept of "productive relations". However, since the world integration process, communication problems have been on the agenda. In marxist philosophy, communication problems points to the main body in the relationship between material production practice. In our country, the wave of reform of opening-up and the foundation of socialist market economy system not only bring us into the world market but also change our way of communication. The development of the science and technology has made it much easier to interpersonal communication, as well as expand the exchanges among the subjects. But it also brought alienation between the people, the lack of emotion, the loss of ethics and so on. At the same time, the gap between rich and poor lead to alienation communication between different groups, unreasonable social structure association contributed to this alienation, thus cause the attention of the scholars thought of Marx’s communication theory.Deep thinking of Marx’s communication will be helpful for our deeper reflection on the present subject relationship between the unreasonable factors, and find out the ways to solve this dilemma, make the persons in a reasonable communication and realize the free and comprehensive development. Habermas on the basis of criticism on Marx’s historical materialism theory, proposed the construction of a harmonious communication between subjects. Even though they are different, but the objective is to achieve the liberation of the people, to establish an ideal society. The theories enable us to have a profound understanding in the high-speed economic development of the relationship problems which are obscured by the environment, and make the person and nature, man and society, the harmonious development of the relationship between human and itself.
