Alienation theory plays a significant role in Marx's whole ideological system,interacting with all aspects of his theory.With its own forming process containing historical logic,Alienation theory can not be separated from other parts of the theory.Therefore,it is essential for those who prefer to have a comprehensive understanding of Marx's whole ideological system to pay attention to the historical logic in the Alienation theory.At the very beginning of this article,it introduces the viewpoint of predecessors and states the influence on Marx Alienation theory exerted.Then,in order to present a original Alienation theory of Marx within clear historical logic,it do a research about the texts concerning Alienation theory written by Marx in different historical periods.It was in Marx's article of PHD that he proposed the thought of self-alienation initially,which was regarded as the germination of self-alienation.Marx put forward the main body of alienation is the essence and the phenomenon itself are the result of the alienation of essence and self-alienation.Meanwhile,Marx considered religion as the result of the self-alienation,regarding man's sense of self as the supreme deity.As a result,Marx gradually turned his research about alienation to the individuals with practical meaning.Observing the reality of Germany,Marx realized the conflict between Hegel's opinion of nations and reality,putting forward that the separation of civil society and the state is the prominent manifestation of political alienation after carrying on a detailed investigation on Hegel's law philosophy theory.With the constant study of social reality,Marx found the method to cope with the problems of political alienation,that is "to realize the true democracy"----let people,instead of authorities,construct the state institutions according to their own real needs.Marx were also aware of interaction between the religious alienation and the reality of alienation,finding that the religious alienation was derived from the division of the secular and the alienation of the society,pointing out that overcoming the religious alienation and political alienation needs human liberation.Marx thoroughly studied the national economics related with labor,capital and so on,and learnt the useful ideology about economic alienation of predecessors.With great effort,he analyzed the relations between alienation and labor,putting forward the four forms of labor alienation which give a further understand of class relations and the nature of private ownership.With Marx's alienation theory gradually taking shape,he,through his further analysis,concluded that alienation no longer existed in the form of communicative alienation of exchange,such as production,consumption and monetary rather than single alienated labor.After putting alienation into production and reproduction,Marx found that productivity does not belong to the individual itself,but to the power of private ownership.He points out that it is inevitable to achieve the social division of labor due to the ultimate consequence of alienation.In Marx's later life,he still devoted himself in studying the alienation in bourgeois society,putting forward that any production as well as the relationship resulting from production,is materialized Since alienation is the product of history,so alienation will eventually be sublated in the historical process.This article presents the historically logical forming of Marx's alienation theory.It is also useful to study today's society where there still exist problems of alienation.and provides complementary theory for human liberation.
