| In the perspective of Marxist theory,life is a series of human practical activities,and the present situation of life is the development degree of human practical activities.Therefore,human development is the core content of life.In the view of the founders of Marxism,human development is mainly reflected in the realization of human nature.However,in capitalist society,the essence of human labor is alienated due to the rule of capital logic,thus blocking people’s way to a better life.In fact,according to Marx and Engels,the so-called "better life" is a dynamic process in which real people constantly develop their productive forces,improve their material conditions and living standards,meet the rich needs of people’s continuous development at all levels,and realize,develop and complete themselves in practical labor.In short,"a better life" means that people can achieve free and comprehensive development.In order to build a "better life",Marx believed that on the basis of vigorously promoting the high development of productive forces,we should deconstruct the capitalist mode of production,establish a communist society,that is the union of free people,realize people’s labor liberation and increase people’s free time,so as to promote individual self-development and self-improvement.Marxist theory of better life has opened up a new realm of the development of the theory of better life,and provided theoretical guidance and practical value guidance for the practice of better life in China in the new era. |
