Marx's Social Structure Theory And Its Contemporary Enlightenment

As part of Marxist Theory,the Marx's society structure theory has a great impact on the other theories of Marxism.With deep development of reform and opening up and the constant adjustment of economic structure,the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered an important period of comprehensively deepening reform and the whole structure of our society has also entered a period of comprehensive adjustment.During this period,a direct result of the changes of social structure to the Chinese society is the frequent occurrence of social contradictions and problems.If these conflicts are not solved timely and effectively,the economic and social development as well as the social long period of stability will be inevitably affected.Taking this as the breakthrough point,it is of great practical significance to systematically sort out the Marx's society structure theory and to find a new theoretical support for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.In addition to the introduction and conclusion,this paper is divided into four parts:The first part summarizes the historical background and ideological origin of the Marx's society structure theory.Marx is in an era of development of capitalist production.The development of human cognition,the development of productive forces of capitalism with its internal contradictions,and the development of the proletariat in the process of struggle against the bourgeoisie constitute the historical background of the Marx's society structure theory.On this basis,we mainly look for the source of the Marx's society structure theory from the three classical theories: bourgeois classical economics,German classical philosophy and utopian socialism.The second part deeply explores the forming process of the Marx's society structure theory.In the study of the forming process of the Marx's society structure theory,referring to the formation trajectory of Marxist historical materialism,based on Marx's works,such as "Holy Family","German Ideology" etc,we explore and elaborate upon how Marx build his social structure theory scientifically from three stages: sprouting,formation and maturity.In the third part,the author sums up and summarizes the core content of the Marx's society structure theory,and reveals its basic characteristics.In essence,the social structure isthe stable social relations formed in people's production and reproduction in social life;the inter-connected and inter-dependent relationship between productive forces and production relations,economic base and superstructure is the basic structure of the whole society;the social structure is a complex entity,which includes economic structure,social structure,political structure and cultural structure etc.;these element structures in connect with each other constitute a complete social structure.the Marx's society structure theory has four characteristics,that is,the unity of objectivity and subjectivity,the unity of stability and dynamics,the unity of integrity and hierarchy,and the unity of inheritance and reconstruction.The fourth part,from the reality of contemporary China,responds to the contemporary revelation of the Marx's society structure theory.Strategic thoughts,such as "five in one" and "four overall" etc.proposed by the Party and the government is theoretical enlightenment of the Marx's society structure theory to contemporary social development.Under the guidance of Marx's theory of social structure,in the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics,we should start from the following four aspects: to vigorously develop the productive forces,promoting sustained and healthy economic development;to pay attention to the integrity of social development,achieving the common driving factors;to follow the principle of putting people first,creating conditions for free and comprehensive development of humanity;to promote the construction of ecological civilization,realizing the harmonious unity of human,society and nature.From the four aspects above,the author gives a comprehensive and profound exposition of the Marx's society structure theory.The Marx's society structure theory is a scientific theory which is in the process of continuous improvement and enrichment.More importantly,The Marx's society structure theory can guide the development of contemporary China from the aspects of both theory and practice.Therefore,the study of Marx's theory of social structure must have important theoretical value and practical significance.
