Research On The Theory Of Everyday Life Of Agnes Heller

Everyday life is closely related to each person’s survival,and is for everyone to have high familiarity and repetitive practice,people seemed to be only under the domination of the former consciousness can easily complete everyday life practice,the figurative understanding of everyday life hides the complexity of everyday life,so people often underestimate the status of everyday life.Just as the philosophers of traditional metaphysics believe that everyday life is a field that people are familiar with all the time,and there is no need to conduct philosophical research,abstract ontology is the real valuable object of philosophical research.Marx first realized the drawbacks of traditional philosophy and reassessed the status of real life.He launched a philosophical revolution to liquidate traditional metaphysics,conducted philosophical research from real people and their real life,and brought philosophy down to earth from heaven.Under the influence of Marx,the 20 th century western philosophy opens the research boom of everyday life,from different angles in this paper,the theory of everyday life philosophy formed a lineage branches numerous everyday life theory,among them,the representative figure of new Marxism in Eastern Europe Budapest school,Agnes Heller’ s theory of daily life is extremely detailed and systematic,in her book "daily life",she makes a detailed analysis and expounds the microscopic structure of everyday life,with combining with the situation of the Eastern Europe,she explores the ways to implement humanitarian,and realizes the combination of theory with practice.The research on this theory not only helps us to clearly understand the internal system of daily life,but also provides us with some useful directions to reflect and improve the everyday life style of contemporary Chinese and explore the real meaning of life.The formation of Heller’ s theory of everyday life is not accidental.From the historical background,Heller experienced the Nazi holocaust in her childhood and the failure of the Hungarian revolution in her youth,which inspired her to question and reflect on the modern social life and its humanitarianism.The theory of Marx and Lukacs provides a theoretical support for Heller’ s theory,Husserl’ s phenomenology provides methodological guidance for Heller’ s theory,which enables Heller to describe her theory at the beginning of ‘everyday life’.Heller carefully described the basic contents of everyday life,revealed the phenomenon of everyday life alienation,and found a way to realize the humanization of everyday life.From the angles of personal relationships,social life and social structure constitutes,Heller elaborated the basic composition of everyday life,such as on the perspective of social and personal relations,Heller defined everyday life as reproduction of individual areas which make social reproduction possible,and pointed out the main body of everyday life is not the "feature" personal,but the individual who is the unity of "feature" and "personality";By analyzing the internal composition of social life structure,Heller defined everyday life as a kind of in-itself objectification,and then made an in-depth analysis of the main components and frame of daily life,and confirmed the ontological status of daily life.Heller revealed the general graphic of everyday life,pragmatism of everyday knowledge,and the phenomenon of daily communication inequality,and profoundly criticized the alienation of daily life,and then found some ways to overcome alienation of everyday life,such as change people’s attitude,shape individual personality,and make micro revolution for reshaping the humanitarian of everyday life,and indicated the final purpose of daily life that is the "existence" for us.Heller’ s theory of everyday life was born more than half a century ago,it is still important and meaningful.Heller stuck to the Marxist position,inherited the critical spirit of Marx,had a critical view of modern western society,and systematized Marx’s view of daily life;At the same time,she took on the unfinished work of her teacher Lukacs,took up the banner of humanitarianism,criticized and surpassed Lukacs’ s critical theory of daily life,solved his theoretical defects,and made a big step forward in the study of everyday life theory.As her early thought,Heller’ s theory of everyday life laid the theoretical foundation for her later radical philosophical theory and modernity theory,which is the most basic part of Heller’ s whole philosophy system.However,Heller’ s theory of everyday life still has some limitations,which is reflected in the fact that the theory is trapped in circular argumentation in logic,and the idea that it resorts to micro-revolution to dispel the alienation of daily life is not practical and finally falls into fantasy.Today,Heller’ s theory of daily life still has an important reference value for us to rebuild the people’s modern rational spirit and shape the citizen’s individual morality.
