Research On Marx's Critique Of Modernity With Capital As The Core

Marx's critique of modernity is a critique of capitalist modernity with capital at the core.Capital promotes the development of modernity.On the one hand,it promotes the progress and development of modern civilization.On the other hand,it stipulates all existence in modern society and becomes the prerequisite and essential rule of human existence.Marx's modernity critical thought contains the unity of " criticism-construction" dual dimension." Criticism" is for the purpose of " construction",and " construction" is premised on"criticism".Real people and their real life conditions are the premise of all Marx's thoughts.Marx pointed out that the capitalist society has constructed a social form of "independence of people based on the dependence of things".The entire social field,including economics,politics,culture,and ethics,is stipulated by the capital principles,which is manifested as a"compulsory discipline" mechanism of capital for profit,and people living in it are generally alienated and materialized.Marx believes that the relationship between capital and modernity can be clarified only when philosophy turns to the real life world and understands the life world as the product of human sensuous practical activities.In this regard,this article takes Marx's capital critical theory as the main line,and examines the characteristics of the "cage"of capitalism's modernity from two aspects of "social relations" and "social space".The rule of any kind is ultimately the rule of man.In this process,capital abstracts and flattens the real world,and the people who live in it become abstract beings.People can only seek the meaning of their own existence in the nature of capital's profit-seeking,thereby losing their place of life.The construction of "new modernity" is the purpose of Marx's modernity critical theory."New modernity" is a positive negation of capitalist modernity.It is a realistic movement.The relationship between the two is not a "is" and "ought" relationship,but a realistic movement to eliminate existing conditions.Based on the positive negation of capitalist modernity,construct "new modernity",so as to realize the all-round development of man,the real possession of man's essence,and achieve the unity of individuals and communitiesAt last,the theoretical horizon is placed in the context of the current China,and it clarifies how modernity of socialism with Chinese characteristics is possible?The root cause of the dilemma of modernity lies not in modernity itself,but in the capitalist mode of production and social system.The real way of resolving lies in the disintegration of the capitalist system based on private ownership,so as to fundamentally provide new social relations and activity space for human survival and development,and create conditions for human free and comprehensive development.
