Marx's Need Theory And Its Contemporary Value Research

"Need" is not only the premise of individual survival and the driving force of development,as well as the scale of social civilization and the basis of major contradictions.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,and the main social contradictions in our country have been transformed into "the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate development".What is the need for a better life and how to realize a better life have become the focus of academic circles.From the perspective of the enlightenment philosophy,the replacement of humanity to divinity,secularity to holiness,and function to meaning,and the need concept based on the capitalist mode of production that led by the bourgeois material consumption have already have a wide influence.This view of needs not only leads to the heterization of human beings,but also intensifies the opposition between human beings and nature.Marx is one of the earliest philosophers to rethink on this view of needs.Marx opposes the one-sided emphasis of idealism on spiritual needs,also disagrees with the narrow interpretation of material needs by old materialism,instead,he emphasizes starting from the real people and promoting the free and all-round development of people through the transformation of social relations.Marx's opinion of needs has profound enlightenment for us to understand "the need for a better life" and to create "a high-quality life".The paper insists on problem orientation and follows the principle of combining historical logic and theoretical logic.It not only analyzes the source of Marx's need theory,but also emphasizes the influence of Marx's need theory.This paper analyzes the content of Marx's need theory,at the same time,it also pays attention to the characteristics of Marx's need theory.Moreover,it analyzes the structure of Marx's need theory,as well as points out the contemporary value of Marx's need theory.The article consists of three parts: Introduction,text and conclusion.The introduction mainly introduces the basis and significance of the topic,the researchstatus of the topic at home and abroad,and the research ideas and innovations.The text has four chapters,which respectively introduce the theoretical source and formation process,main contents and basic characteristics,internal structure and important influence of Marx's need theory,as well as the contemporary value of Marx's need theory.The conclusion part summarizes the text part.From the perspective of philosophy,need and value are closely linked.From economics,need and production are closely linked.Marx not only emphasized the comprehensiveness of need from the philosophical dimension,but also emphasized the rationality of need from the economic dimension.Only by well knowing and scientifically guiding people's needs in time can effectively enhance people's sense of acquisition and happiness.Only in this way can we realize the long-term stability of society and the harmonious development between man and nature.
