The Research Of Thought About People And Its Contemporary Value In Marx's Classic Works

Marx's thought is broad and profound,which also contains a wealth of ideas about people.The thought about people is manifested in three aspects: the essence of people,the comprehensive development of people and the freedom of people.With the enrichment in knowledge and the gradual deepening in the investigation of social practice,the development of each aspect has experienced a complete process from the rudiment to maturity.Marx believes that people's essence is naturalness,sociality and practicalness unity;people's comprehensive development is realized in the process of practice activities and in the community.Communism is the way to realize people's comprehensive development;establishing the public ownership,educating and training people are the means.The ideological and spiritual freedom are the representations of people's freedom,which can be realized in practice activities.Communism is the fundamental way to realize people's freedom and individual freedom is the condition of the whole social freedom.Only in Communist society can people's free personality be realized.There is a close relationship between the three aspects of Marx's thought about people: the comprehensive development of people and the freedom of people are expressions of people's essence;the comprehensive development of people and the freedom of people are mutually reinforcing and promoting each other.The starting point of Marx's materialist conception of history is the realistic person.Marx's thought about people and its historical materialism are in a dialectical relationship.From the static perspective,the two have the same content,which is from the realistic person;From the dynamic perspective,they interweave and promote each other in the process of development.Marx's thought about people still has its value in the contemporary era.Its value mainly lies in three dimensions:theory,concept and strategic value.From the theoretical value dimension,Marx's thought about people provides a theoretical basis for Marx's human science;in addition,it also further enriches the “people-oriented” theory and the thought of people's livelihood theory.From the concept value dimension,Marx's thought about people is of great significance for us to comprehend the socialist core values,thus exhibiting its guiding significance.From the strategic value dimension,its guiding role mainly embodies in four aspects.Firstly,on the economic level,it can promote the healthy development of economy by strengthening the training of professional talents;Secondly,on the political level,it can promote the construction of democratic politics by the form of law to give citizens political freedom;Thirdly,on the cultural level,it can promote cultural prosperity by paying attention to people's spiritual development needs;Fourthly,on the level of social construction,it is conducive to build a harmonious society by paying attention to people's livelihood.In short,Marx's thought about people is still of great significance,and will continue to play a greater value in the great practice of socialist modernization.
