A New Interpretation of the Characteristics and Behavior Laws of Capital:From"Specificity of Form"to"Paradox Generation"
"Form determination"is an important methodological category in the manuscript of Das Capital,which is the dialectical unity of"material composition"and"essential composition",and embodies the principle of economic materialism.The essential relations of economic categories do not appear in the phenomenal world,but must be carried out with the help of certain material carriers.Therefore,"material composition"should not be confused with"essential composition".The essential stipulation of capital as a relation of production is masked by the material carrier,forming a layer of wrapping of the material form to the substance,and the form determination of capital makes it a mysterious existence.Based on Das Kapital and its manuscripts,standing at the level of the methodology of"form determination",we can reveal the obscuration of the essential relationship by the"materialization of production relations",gain insight into the reversal of the subject-object relationship caused by the"personification of things",and grasp the unique paradox and self-reflexivity of capital.Only by explaining the multiple paradoxes generated in the movement of capital,such as the paradox of machine,the paradox of labor,the paradox of poverty,the paradox of population and the paradox of ecology,can we deepen the understanding of the characteristics and behavioral laws of capital.The paradox and self-reflexivity of capital will eventually lead to the negation of itself,so it is necessary to give full play to the role of the government in the socialist market economy and effectively realize the standardization,guidance,and control of capital.
