Marx's Critique of Capitalist Civilization and its Contemporary Value
Civilization is a sign of human progress and enlightenment,a cultured social state that combines human-ism and invention,as opposed to barbarism,in the practice of"humanizing nature".Based on the principle of so-cial existence theory of historical materialism,Marx opened a critique of capitalist civilization from the three dimen-sions of the real foundation,the essential basis and the modern technology of the emergence of capitalist civilization form,and profoundly revealed the possibility that capitalist civilization will be surpassed by the future social civili-zation form.In the perspective of materialist history,the transcendence of the capital-technology civilization,the construction of the"future social civilization"and the realization of the"union of free men"are the distinctive fea-tures of Marx's critique of capitalist civilization.The contemporary value of Marx's critique of capitalist civilization lies in the fact that it provides a fundamental guideline for the construction of a modern civilization for the Chinese nation in the midst of the"change of the world",a scientific guide for the enrichment and development of a new form of human civilization in the midst of the"change of the times",and a lesson for the promotion of the exchan-ges and mutual learning of the world's civilizations in the midst of the"change of the history".
