Research On Marx's View Of Production Justice

The debate between wood and Husami in the 1970s("does Marx think capitalism is unjust?")initiated a large number of follow-up studies,which pushed the problem of Marx's justice view to the front desk of theoretical research.In this debate,most people admit that Marx did criticize the exploitation nature of capitalism from the angle of justice,and the problem is to put Marx's justice on the basis of historical materialism.But when we discuss the content of Marx's justice view,the relevant research still falls into the discourse trap of Western distributive justice,which mainly shows that the research on Marx's view of justice is mostly from the perspective of distribution justice,while few people deeply study the most original field of Marx's justice theory,production justice.Based on this understanding,this thesis tries to discuss Marx's theory of production justice,thus understanding the revolutionary transformation of the realization of Marx's justice theory and finding theoretical basis for the realization of contemporary social justice.Marx can realize the radical change of justice view because he has realized the reform of research methods.This methodological change is the change from idealism to materialistic view of history.Historical materialism is the fundamental methodology of Marx's theory of justice.Specifically speaking,the methodology of historical materialism is embodied in three aspects.The first is the method of historicism,that is to say,a certain view of justice is the product of the form of productive forces and relations of production in a specific historical stage,and there is no eternal,absolute and super historical view of justice.The second is holism,that is,to admit that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts;The system is not a simple accumulation of elements' contents and functions.The society is an "organism" composed of various interrelated and interacting factors.The individual is not an independent and atomic individual,but a "sum of social relations".The third is the realistic method.Marx's theory of justice is not an idealized theory,the starting point and foothold are real people and people's real life.Marx,starting from the analysis of the status of production in the economic process,deeply analyzes the relationship between production justice and distribution justice,exchange justice and consumption justice,and determines the pivotal position of production justice in the social justice system.Marx believes that human society is a productive society,production is the center of social life,distribution,exchange and consumption are a link of production and reproduction.Therefore,the objective status of distribution,exchange and consumption as the elements of production has decided that production justice is the core of the whole social justice.Marx further pointed out the basic principles of production justice.The first principle of production justice is to eliminate the alienation of labor and make production a way of self realization,not the form of self servitude and enslavement of others.Secondly,production justice means the unity of man and nature,and production is the basic way of connection between man and nature.Therefore,the unity of man and nature is a representation of social justice.Thirdly,production justice means the equality of possession and utilization of production elements.The possession of elements(especially the means of production)is the premise of production and distribution.The justice of production elements' possession determines to some extent whether the justice can be realized in the production process.Fourthly,production justice means equal participation in production and employment opportunities.Finally,the justice of production is directly manifested in the equality of labor intensity,labor discipline,labor security and so on.Marx's thought of production justice is of great significance to promote social equity and harmony.First,it tells us that production justice has more fundamental significance,which guides us to focus on the realization of social justice in the field of production justice,and avoid us from "circle" in distribution justice;second,it tells us to always pay attention to the legitimacy and justice of production purpose,and always adhere to the people-centered and people's free and all-round development as the goal.Third,it tells us that to realize production justice,we must build a friendly and legitimate relationship between human and nature(environment);fourth,it tells us that to realize production justice,we must pay attention to the equality of possession and use of production elements,which means in today's China,we must vigorously develop the shared economy;fifth,according to Marx's principle of production justice,we must increase the fair opportunities in employment and other economic activities;finally,we should guarantee the rights of producers,including the right to life and health,and avoid the harm caused by labor production process to producers.
