The Logical Reasoning of Marx's Critical Thought on Capital Civilization
Marx is both the critic of capital civilization and the constructor of a new form of modern civilization.From the perspective of history of thought,he took the contradiction between private property,i.e.,capital and labor,as the starting point and thought deeply about the prominent diseases of capital civilization;on the basis of the philosophical change of materi-alist conception of history,he clarified the systematic basis for the establishment of capital civilization and identified the exploit-ative attributes of capital civilization;and in the realistic examination of the unequal interaction between civilized countries and relatively backward nation-states,he identified the barbaric nature of capital civilization.Through the critique of political econo-my,Marx deepened the study of the operation mechanism of capital civilization and scientifically looked forward to a new civili-zation beyond capital civilization.Under the guidance of Marxism,the modern civilization of the Chinese nation pioneered by Chinese-style modernization presents a new picture that transcends the form of Western capital civilization and represents the direction of development for the progress of human civilization.
