The Critical Logic Of Marx's Monetary Philosophy And Its Contemporary Significance

The Critical Logic of Marx's monetary philosophy is a rigorous logical system formed in the process of Marx's philosophical criticism of money.It is an important part of Marx's monetary philosophy.The formation of Critical Logic of Marx's monetary philosophy has undergone a long process of development.In the early stage,Marx's thought of monetary philosophy was closely related to the theory of alienation,at which Marx criticized "money is the self-alienation of human nature" from the perspective of alienation theory.With the establishment of historical materialism,Marx criticized the monetary philosophy of Steiner and Pluton respectively.The basic completion of Marx's Critical Logic of monetary philosophy is marked by the publication of Das Kapital.At this stage,Marx went deep into capitalist production and systematically criticized the issue of monetary power and monetary fetishism.The whole Marxist monetary philosophy runs through Marx's philosophical criticism of money,which embodies a rigorous critical logic.This critical logic is embodied in two levels: general critical logic and specific critical logic.The general critical logic mainly manifests that Marx's philosophical criticism of money is based on the comprehensive application of alienation theory,materialist dialectics,historical materialism and other methodologies.The concrete critical logic is first manifested in Marx's dialectical recognition of the historical role of money by using the basic principles of historical materialism.This function mainly includes: in terms of productivity,it shows that money promotes productivity;in terms of production relations,it promotes universal communication and the formation of the world market;in terms of political superstructure,it shows that money promotes the disintegration of old systems and ideas;and in terms of concept superstructure,it shows that money promotes the establishment of formal freedom and equality.? Secondly,Marx used the theory of alienation to criticize the concept of currency alienation and currency alienation in an all-round way.Marx began to analyze money from the media of commodity exchange.Through the investigation of the relationship between commodity and currency,Marx came to the conclusion that "money is God in commodities".Then,Marx analyzed the relationship between money and human beings,criticized the disappearance of money to human personality and hindered theall-round development of human beings.On this basis,Marx believed that the capitalization of money would inevitably lead to the oppression of money on the whole working class,and eventually lead to the dependence of the whole class on money materially and spiritually,thus forming the monetary fetishism.Finally,Marx believed that only by eliminating private ownership and resetting the inverted social relations can the concept of currency alienation and monetary fetishism be fundamentally eliminated.The Critical Logic of Marx's monetary philosophy is of great significance to the contemporary era,which is embodied in two aspects: theory and reality.In terms of theoretical significance,Marx's Critical Logic of monetary philosophy is conducive to deepening our understanding of the relevant principles of historical materialism,providing ideological weapons for criticizing western monetary philosophy,and on this basis is conducive to our study of contemporary monetary philosophy.In terms of practical significance,from an economic point of view,Marx's Critical Logic of monetary philosophy is conducive to our understanding of money and the establishment of a reasonable outlook on wealth;from a political point of view,it is conducive to promoting anti-corruption education and the construction of the Party's purity;from a value point of view,it is conducive to our opposition to money worship and thus to the cultivation of socialist core values.
