Study On Marx’s Critical Theory Of Capitalist Industrialization

Marx’s critique of capitalist society inherently contains a critique of capitalist industrialization.Marx’s critical theory of capitalist industrialization helps us accurately grasp the process of capitalist industrialization,deeply understand the nature of capitalist industrialization,and objectively evaluate its impact on the historical development of human society.The theory is also of great practical significance for us to unswervingly take the road of new industrialization.In the first part,this thesis reviews and summarizes Marx’s phased analysis of the development process of capitalist industrialization,and sorts out the historical clues of the process of capitalist industrialization.Based on the basic principles of historical materialism,Marx revealed the growth history of the essential power of man hidden behind it through the identification and connection of different stages of capitalist industrialization.The emergence of workshop handicrafts promoted the development of productive forces,initially broke the personal dependency relationship in feudal society,and gradually formed abstract social relations between people mediated by things.The development of large-scale machine industry has shaped the dominance of the capitalist mode of production in the world.The capitalist mode of production based on large-scale machine industry has completely changed the original feudal social mode of production,and at the same time completely cut off the old personal dependence between people and established capital’s abstract ruling over people.In the second part,this thesis comprehensively and profoundly presents Marx’s revelation of the essence of capitalist industrialization and his judgment on the dialectical social and historical role it plays.Marx objected to understanding the essence of capitalist industrialization only from the viewpoint of "external usefulness" of human beings.Marx believed that the essence of capitalist industrialization is the manifestation of the essential power of human beings.Marx always focused on examining the problem of "things" in the process of capitalist industrialization through the problem of "man",which constitutes Marx’s critical investigation of the historical process of capitalist industrialization.Therefore,on the one hand,we must see that capitalist industrialization has indeed broken the dependence between people,which is its positive effect,and on the other hand,it has made people fall into dependence on things.Marx’s reflection and critique of the historical process of capitalist industrialization illuminates the way for us to move towards a higher level of human liberation.In the third part,this thesis affirms the importance of Marx’s critical theory of capitalist industrialization to the exploration and practical activities of China’s new industrialization road in the new era.Marx deeply grasped the essence of capitalist industrialization and revealed its inherent defects.Capitalist industrialization has cut apart the inner relationship between human and nature,causing huge damage to the natural ecological environment.This industrialization process dominated by capital logic puts people in an abstract social relationship with capital as the main body,and its final result leads to the colonial plundering and various hegemonic acts of developed capitalist countries against late-developing countries.Embarking on a new path of industrialization is of great practical significance not only to China but also to the world.In the process of promoting socialist industrialization,we must adhere to the new path of industrialization in which human and nature coexist in harmony,and in the construction of the new industrialization,we must take the people as the center,abandon the logic of capital,strengthen international cooperation,oppose hegemonism,and lead the progress of world history.
