A Kantian Interpretation of Marx's Social Philosophy——The Self-reproduction of Social Relational Structures and Their Equivalent Formulations
The construction of Marxian philosophy has always already been related to that of a social theory or"social philosophy".Marx's main intention is not to achieve an external or dialectical reconciliation of"subjective"and"objective"dimensions,but to search for those actual conditions that make possible the objective dimension itself and its"laws",so as to find possibilities for subjects to come into being.There-fore,a distinction can be made in Marxian social theory between"equivalent formulations"of social laws and"the self-reproduction of structures of social relations".With the help of the concept of"guiding princi-ple"in Kantian philosophy,we can grasp the special relationship between the two levels and clarify the"practical orientation"of Marx's social theory.
