On Lukács's View Of Reality

Marxist philosophy dedicated itself to actually remold capitalist society,and surmounting the bourgeois mode of production,so as to generate a new social reality where human will achieve true liberation and freedom in the field of social relations.The realization of the goal of this theory relies on the basis of accurately grasp the social reality,and then remold social production mode(mode of life)commence from social relations,so as to realize the free combination of social relations that is the realization of communism.Lukács' s view of reality inherits the theme of Marx's philosophical theory,and absorbing the positive elements of Hegel's view of reality at the same time,so he made a creative interpretation to theory of Marxism: First,the facts are not directly equal to the reality,the reality is the unity of nature and presence.Isolated facts should be dissolved as the links and factors in which concrete totality,the development process of social history as a whole,that is concrete totality,is the true social reality.Second,social reality is seriously concealed by the structure of reification in bourgeois society,thus generated an illusions that bourgeois-capitalist world has trans-historical character.The structures of reification are rooted in the principle of form rationalization that gradually become the dominant principle in all fields such as material production and social life at the beginning of modern times.Third,the discovery of social reality relies on the establishment of the method of totality,namely pure historic method,by which the bourgeois society will emerge as a temporary historical period.The reification process of the bourgeois society is actually the process of self-denial of the bourgeois mode of production,which will guide the human society to achieve a new stage of development,that is generate a new social reality.Fourth,the production of new reality needs to suffer a series of intermediate links,and the actual leader of this process just is the proletariat as the Identity of Subject-object of social and historical development,whose come into being depends on the independence of class consciousness.Fifth,the historical mission of the proletariat is to actually remold bourgeois social reality so that generate new social reality,the realization of this mission depends on a concrete process which could touch sensuous content of social life,and then the Communist Party just is the vanguard of this concrete process.Sixth,because of the Hegelian character of the ontological foundation,Lukács' s philosophy neglected the labor and missed the true economic foundation.As a result,he can not really or thoroughly grasp the essential dimensionality of social reality,that is the mode of production.While Lukács puts the origin of reification boil down to the principle of formal rationalization,Marx argues that it is the bourgeois mode of production that caused the reification of social relations.In fact,the principle of formal rationalization just is the produce of the bourgeois mode of production.whether grasp the essential dimensionality of social reality just is the fundamental distinction between Marx and Lukács' s view of social reality.
