The Dual Dimensions of Marx's Theory of Production and its Contemporary Reflections
Historical materialism emphasizes that production is the primary premise of human history.Postmodemist thinker Baudrillard thus regards Marx's theory of production as a complicit ideology of bourgeois"productivism".In essence,Marx's theory of production contains dual dimensions of ontological inquiry and social critique.Baudrillard ignores this inherent unity and solely focuses critique on the ontological dimension of"production",disregarding its critical implications for capitalist production as a specific form of production.Baudrillard only provides a formal interpretation of historical materialism's theory of production.By recognizing the inherent unity of Marx's theory of production in its dual dimensions,not only can we respond to postmodernist deconstructive intentions towards"production",but also gain a deeper understanding of the realistic development of Chinese path to modernization and its reflection on and transcendence of the Western-centric modem social development model centered around capitalism.From the ontological dimension,Chinese path to modernization encompasses common characteristics of modern civilization.From the dimension of social critique theory,Chinese path to modernization reflects the fundamental nature of scientific socialism and its practical transcendence of Western capitalist civilization's modernization.
