Theory Of Ideological And Political Education And Its Contemporary Development In German Ideology

"German Ideology"(hereinafter referred to as "Morphology")was a specific critique from Marx and Engels in the field of ideology in Germany at the time,and also a theoretical preparation for scientifically guiding the international workers’ movement.It contains plenty of basic principles of ideological and political education and the fundamental views and specific propositions on the ideological and political education of the proletariat,which has played an important guiding role in the history of the international workers’ movement.But "Morphology" is a historical text after all,and the researchers are contemporary.The task entrusted to us by the times is to return to the historical context of Marx and Engels writing,understand the original meaning of the text,and at the same time interpret the classic text with a high degree of consciousness of the times.Meanwhile,interpret the text in a new light based on the new tasks,new situations and new environment of contemporary Chinese ideological and political education,and use Chinese discourse to interpret and push forward Marx and Engels’ ideological and political education theory.Only in this way can the text be rejuvenated and thoughts be enduring.This research is mainly carried out in the following aspects:The ideological and political education value of the text "German Ideology".The writing process of "Morphology" itself is a fresh theoretical practice of ideology,It explores the effective way for theory to grasp the times,criticizes the wrong social thoughts of the same period,and the theoretical views put forward have far-reaching ideological and political education value: First,Marx and Engels proposed the historical materialism and realized the transformation of the theoretical premise.Second,it rectified the connection between social existence and social consciousness,clarified the relationship between ideology and ideologists,and revealed the relation between ideology and class rule,reconstructing the core concepts.Finally,he walked out of the field of pure ideological criticism and established the practice of revolution as the real destination of ideological and political education.The theory of ideological and political education in "German Ideology".Marx and Engels repeatedly suggested that to restore the capitalist ideologists’ reversal of everything,the proletariat must unite together to carry out revolutionary practice to reform the existing world and establish a "real community" to accomplish human freedom and comprehensive development.But the proletariat is not born with a revolutionary group,revolutionary consciousness of workers must be awakened by ideological and political work.The communist movement needs the guidance of scientific ideological and political theories.“Morpology” established the fundamental position and view of proletarian ideological theory,laying a foundation for proletarian ideology theory construction and educational practice as a whole.Specifically,the theory can be divided into two parts: one is based on the historical materialism,including essentialism,cause theory and environmentalism.The other is the proletarian’s ideology and political education theory that is proposed according to the needs of communist ideological work.This includes the historical mission shouldered by the ideological and political education of the proletariat,the basic principles to be followed and effective scientific methods.The contemporary development of ideological and political education theory in "German Ideology".Returning to a contemporary perspective to examine the missions,principles,methods and other issues raised in the "Morphology",we will discover that these questions actually share the same roots with contemporary ideological and political education of "For whom to foster people? Fostering for what kind of people? How to foster people?".The process of answering this question is in fact highly stipulating the fundamental existence mode of ideological and political education in the times.When we connect the text and the times in this way,we will see that the principles and spirit of the ideological and political education of the proletariat contained in the "Morphology" have been deeply fused in the theoretical logic of Xi Jinping ’s socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era.It also reflects in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics and has been carried out in the strategic project of contemporary ideological and political education to educate people.In the future,it will continue to gain new development with the advancement of the ideological work of the Communist Party of China.
