Marx's Viewpoint Of Leisure And Its Contemporary Practical Value

Marx used a metaphorical way to express Viewpoint of leisure in his theoretical system.At the macro level,Marx's practice of criticizing the old world and discovering the new world implies profound leisure perspective.At the microscopic level,Marx's Viewpoint of leisure is mainly contained in his concept of labor,free time theory,consumption theory and free-overall development of human being's theory.The concept of labor is the key link in the formation of Marx's Viewpoint of leisure.Marx coceived the idea of "free labor " in the process of criticizing alienated labor and wage labor.The free time theory is the closest conceptual expression of Marx's theory of "leisure".Marx's free time concept is not only a time concept but also a state concept.In fact,to grasp the free time from the state concept can better understand the nature of free time and the relationship between free time and leisure.Consumption is an important area where free time flies.Instead of studying consumption in terms of consumption,Marx studies consumption thoughout economy and from the angle of human development.In the dialectical relationship between consumption and production,in the process of criticizing the alienation consumption,Marx reveals the idea of leisure consumption.The free-overall development of human being's is the ultimate destination.It is also the value and significance of leisure.The definition of "leisure" at the height of the development of human history as a whole makes it possible for leisure to transit from a simple leisure status to a development status of "becoming a man."The completeness and rigor of the Marxist theory system makes the formation and development of the leisure thought coherent and logical.The logical construction of Marx's Viewpoint of leisure is a logical process: Labor concept is the logic starting point of Marx's viewpoint of leisure-Free time theory is the logical development of Marx's viewpoint of leisure-Consumption theory is an important sight of Marx's viewpoint of leisure-The theory of free-overall development of human being's is the value purpose of Marx's viewpoint of leisure.Therefore,Marx is not just leisure talk about leisure,Marx's viewpoint of leisure is based on the theory of political,economic,philosophical with origin,development and ultimate purpose.The issue of the development of people with leisure meanings proposed by Marx a century ago has not been suspended but is being practiced step by step.Based on the development of productive forces,the renewal of institutional mechanisms and thepromulgation of various national policies on innovation and entrepreneurship,to a certain extent,our contemporary society is practicing leisure or is moving toward a leisure society.The thought of leisure is a wonderful achivement of Marx's theoretical system,and the development of the time precisely verifies the scientific predictability of Marxist theory and highlights the practical value of Marx's viewpoint of leisure in the contemporary world.
