Revealing the metaphysical essence of abstract labor from the internal connection between Marxist philosophy and ra-tionalism has unique value in elucidating the contemporary nature of Marx's critical theory of capital.Rationalism refers to a way of thinking and social principles that are governed by reason,originating from Plato's theory of ideas and Descartes'phi-losophy of self reflection.Its connection with abstract labor is ultimately demonstrated in Hegel's principle of"entity is sub-ject".Abstract labor is the"value entity"of commodities,currency and capital,as well as the"subject"that governs and con-trols the production process,and thus constructs modern society.Marx's ontological critique of Hegel's self-awareness activi-ties and the movement of capital values reflects this connection.Tracing back from the history of thought,the inherent operat-ing mechanism of"absolute subject"was first reflected in Fichte's principles of knowledge science.Capital value not only"sets"oneself,but also achieves self movement by"setting"non ego based on oneself.In this sense,concrete labor,produc-tion processes and social relations in capitalist society are increasingly manifested as objectified products pre-set by abstract la-bor.
