Marx's Critique of the Modernity of"Self-Consciousness"and Chinese-Style Modernization—From the Perspective of The Holy Family
The reflection and critique of the"self-consciousness"of both"modernity as capitalism"and"capitalism as modernity"have always been a central theme in the intellectual development of Marx and Engels.In The Holy Family,Ma-rx and Engels'critique of the ideas surrounding"the holy family of the Bauer brothers"contains rich thoughts on the cri-tique of"modernity as capitalism"and"capitalism as modernity".The critique in question employs the real individuals to challenge abstract ones,material concerns to critique"pure criticism",the real-world collective masses to question"spir-it",and the Proletariat's historical mission to challenge capitalist private ownership.These perspectives reveal the possibili-ty of going beyond the Western modernity.Chinese-style modernization transcends the universalism,abstraction,selfish-ness,and narrow-mindedness inherent in Western modernity,representing a fundamental sublation of its essence.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,the Chinese people have embarked on the great practice of socialist moderniza-tion with Chinese characteristics.On the journey towards achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and pursu-ing common prosperity for the world,they have unveiled a brand new vision of"new modernity",thereby initiating new principles,directions,and realities that redefine human modernization and construct a modern Chinese civilization.
