As the practical subject of initiative,human beings create the human society and the human history.And they are undertaking the society's material and spiritual production.Thus,the whole of the practical activities of human beings are aiming to satisfy themselves,and to realize the development of liberty and entirety of human beings.However,with the development of the social productivity,the social productive relations are based on forms of ownership which relies on the relationship of taking possession of the private property,and which embodies the spontaneous division of labor.During the period of natural economy,the relationship of human beings' dependence had been occupying the dominant position,and human beings' material and spiritual activities could only within the confines of the specific community which belongs to the class of privilege who had occupied the dominant position in the social substance and spirit.During the period of the relationship of material dependence of commercial economy,practical persons and the relationship between persons and persons have completely controlled by the power of alienation which comes from substance.Then,human beings' liberation must not end up with the liberation of religion and politics,but wipe out the ownership of capitalism which has been based on the private ownership in the inner of social production thoroughly.Due to the practical theory,Marx has found out that we must develop productivity energetically,wipe out the division of labor,wipe out private ownership,and wipe out alienation,to realize the development of lierty and entirety of human beings.The problem of alienation has taken place for a long time,and philosophers have had their specific thoughts about the problem of “alienation” in different historic stages.This paper would have centred on Marx's thought on alienation through three aspects,which includes the origin of Marx's thought on alienation,the connotation of Marx's thought on alienation and the later transformation of Marx's thought on alienation to express the discussion.Among the study of different thoughts on alienation,classical German philosophers includes Johann Gottlieb Fichte,Hegel and their inheritors have attempted to sublate alienation from the critical thinking in the exercise of rational thinking,and Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach has attempted to sublate alienation from the abstract nastic intuition.Marx's thought on alienation has started from the reality of the irreality of human beings' existence in their practical activities.Then,Marx has found out the essence of private ownership of social production of capitalism.Thus,Marx has put his thought on alienation into communication's relationship of the inner of social production scientifically which has been built on the essence of private ownership of social production of capitalism.After Marx's thought on alienation,Lukacs,Sartre and Jean Baudrillard have started their explanation and criticism on generalization of alienation's phenomenon in persons' existent activities.And,they have emphasized to realize the uniformity of subject and object of persons through the return of subjectivity of persons.With researching and thinking about Marx's thought on alienation in historic tense and parallel tense,we are not only able to know about the scientificity and criticalness and revolutionary characteristics of Marx's thought on alienation roundly and deeply,but also could touch the inner of social production deeply and scientifically to research the origin of “alienation” to concern about the problem of human beings' liberation.
