Transcendence and Secularism:The Inner Power in Marx's Religious Criticism Theory
Marx's religious criticism contains the inner tension between transcendence and secularity.The criticism of religion in dif-ferent periods,such as the criticism of speculative philosophy,the criticism of political state,the criticism of civil society,and the criti-cism of the mode of production,is not only the theoretical weapon of Eliminating the tension of transcendentality and secularity,but also the summary of the achievement of Sublating the German political reality.Marx,out of the empirical appeal of the relationship between the state and the civil society,divided the essence of man into abstraction and reality and endowed it with practice,so that the ultimate destination of religion would expand itself in the social production practice of man,and completed the practical framework of historical materialism versus scientific atheism.Marx's religious criticism is a dynamic historical process,which is undergoing increasingly pro-found questioning and thorough reflection from phenomenon to essence,from heaven to earth.
