A Study Of Marx's Class Theory

Marx's class theory is an important part of Marxist theory.In-depth study and discussion of Marx's class theory have very important theoretical significance for a comprehensive understanding of Marxist theory.At the same time,systematically expounding the basic content and ideological interest of Marx's class theory has important practical guiding significance for analyzing class conflicts in modern society and constructing harmonious social relations.Based on the classic texts of Marxism,this thesis conducts a more systematic,comprehensive and in-depth study on Marx's class theory based on the relevant research results of predecessors.It contains the following parts:The first chapter mainly analyzes the social conditions and ideological sources of Marx's class theory.It believes that the development of capitalist economy,the outbreak of economic crisis,and the growth of the proletariat are the social conditions for the formation of Marx's class theory.It is believed that the class ideology of ancient Greek scholars,The class theory of classical political economists,the class theory of utopian socialist scholars,and the class viewpoint of scholars during the French restoration in the 19 th century are the ideological sources of Marx's class theory.Marx's class theory was formed on the basis of criticizing and inheriting previous class ideas.The second chapter examines the historical development process of Marx's class theory and believes that the formation of Marx's class theory is not accomplished overnight,but a process of initiation,initial formation,development,and maturity.Specifically,the period from "Rhine Zeitung" to "German-French Almanac" was the embryonic period of Marx's class theory,and the period from "Manuscript of Economics and Philosophy in 1844" to "German Ideology" was the initial formation period of Marx's class theory.The period from "The Poverty of Philosophy" to the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" is the development period of Marx's class theory,and the period from "Das Kapital" to "The French Civil War" is the mature period of Marx's class theory.The third chapter focuses on the basic content of Marx's class theory.Based on Marx's relevant texts,this chapter explains the basic content of Marx's class theory from four aspects: class origin theory,class essence theory,class struggle theory,and class extinction theory.It is believed that the emergence of classes is the result of social development to a certain historical stage.As a result,class is essentially an economic category.Class struggle is the direct driving force for the development of class society.Classes will inevitably die with the rapid development of productive forces.The fourth chapter mainly discusses the significance and value of Marx's class theory.This chapter starts from both theoretical and practical levels.It is believed that Marx's class theory provides a theoretical weapon for scientifically revealing class essence and class conflict phenomena,and for the realization of the proletariat and the whole of mankind.Emancipation points out the way,provides methodological guidance for the construction of harmonious social relations,and provides ideological guidance for the ultimate elimination of class differences and the realization of human equality.
