Marx's Criticism Of Religion And Its Contemporary Significance

For the whole modern philosophy,criticism of religion is undoubtedly one of its main tasks.Marx's theory of religious criticism was directly influenced by the thinkers of German classical period,especially Kant's propaganda of "moralizing" God,Hegel's establishment of "humanistic" God,and the contribution of the young Hegelians,made religion returns from the sublime to the secular.Marx's religious criticism is not the core category in the ideological system.However,the academic circles' understanding of Marx's religious criticism is mostly described by the high position of "theoretical premise".This article takes Marx's religious criticism as the theoretical basis,and analyzes and grasps Marx's whole thought system and its development thread.Marx's religious criticism is not a general sense of the settlement and denial of Kant,Hegel and the young Hegelian faction,but on the one hand,with the criticism of traditional metaphysics,criticize the other side of the illusory heaven,on the other hand are criticisms that based on the realization of political criticism,economic criticism and philosophical criticism.By analyzing the criticisms of Marx,Kant,Hegel and the young Hegelian parties,we can not only clarify their logical connection to the critical thoughts of religion,but also provide us with a new paradigm to understand the Marx's ideology system.It is of practical significance to construct the spirit of contemporary belief based on Marx's religious criticism.It is embodied in the balance of rationality and belief,the internal tension of individual and society,and also pulls out from the limited life and infinite spiritual pursuit.
