The Three Dimensions of Criticism of Capitalist Human Rights in The Jewish Question and Its Contemporary Value
The Jewish Question is the work in which Marx first systematically and explicitly elaborated his thoughts on hu-man rights,marking the starting point of his transition from a rationalist view of human rights to a historical materialist perspec-tive.Marx,starting from the reality and sociality of human existence,conceptualizes humans as a synthesis of sensuous and so-cial beings,thereby transcending the abstract human nature foundation of capitalist human rights.He imbues the concept of hu-man liberation with the practical content of eliminating private property,surpassing the foundation of capitalist human rights based on private ownership.Furthermore,he places human value as the ultimate goal of human liberation,surpassing the mone-tary fetishism inherent in capitalist human rights.In the new era,revisiting the human rights ideas in The Jewish Question offers a rational lens to examine contemporary human rights issues,enrich and develop Marx's human rights thought in modern con-texts,and contribute to the construction of a human rights theoretical system with Chinese characteristics.
