Study on the Ethical Orientation of the New Quality Productive Forces from Marx's Theory of Productivity
Productivity theory is the theoretical coordinate of Marxist historical materialism.The free and all-round development of humanity constitutes the intrinsic ethical dimension of Marx's concept of productivity,which con-tains both profound theoretical significance and practical concerns.Through the exposure of the essence of classical economic theory and the critical transcendence of the immaterial nature of the productivity theory of German national economics as represented by List,Marx founded the scientific concept of productivity on the principles of historical materialism.He placed the development of productivity in the dimension of ethical realistic concerns,and clarified that the free and all-round development of humanity is the value proposition of the productivity development.The emphasis on the ethical connotations of the concept of productivity and the interpretation of the value proposition of productivity development in Marx's theory of productivity constitute the theoretical foundation and ideological source of the concept of the new quality productivity and the goal of the development of the new quality productivi-ty.In the historical context of profound changes unseen in a century,the new quality of productive forces,as a new theoretical coordinate of 21st-century Marxist historical materialism,will guide the development of high quality in both theory and practice.
