The first chapter tells the story of Karl Marx in his childhood. He was born at 1865438+644 in Trier Brucken Lane in the early morning of May 5, 2008.
At that time, Trier became a colony of Prussia because of the Napoleonic Wars. Due to the establishment of customs union and external competition, the industry in this area is underdeveloped, the economy is depressed, the social security is unstable, the immigration is intensified, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.
Marx, who grew up in this special social environment, seems to have planted the seeds of critical observation of society at an early age. Everyone has his own happy childhood, and the family in which Marx was born is a middle class with good conditions in Trier.
But the great Marx never went to primary school. Yes, you heard me right. Marx didn't go to primary school. His father is a cheerful Jewish lawyer, knowledgeable and proficient in various languages, studying classical literature and philosophy. He has a good family education, excellent living conditions and resourcefulness since childhood. The social environment and family environment he lived in at that time. Karl Marx Jr. has a unique idea since he was a child, and he has planted a unique concept of career choice in his heart since he was a child. You can guess.
The second, third and fourth chapters describe Marx's study career, from 1835 to 184 1 year, in just six years, during which he obtained a doctorate in philosophy. Now, he is also a standard schoolmaster. Maybe great people's lives are different. In middle school, Marx carefully weighed his future career choices and life goals.
His middle school composition "Youth's View on Job Selection" shows his broad mind and sets up a lofty ideal of devoting himself to the great purpose of mankind. Marx's college time was both "light and fat" and "intoxicating".
At first, according to the arrangement of his family, Marx chose the law major of Bonn University, and lived a life of "clothing is light and fat". Marx realized that there were many deviations in his college life.
Later, he transferred to the philosophy major of Berlin University, where there were Hegel, an ideological giant, and Feuerbach, a philosopher. Here, young Marx completed the digestion and absorption of Hegel's thought, thus completing Marxist philosophy on the basis of critically inheriting Hegel's philosophy.
His doctoral thesis at the University of Jena is the Difference between democritus's Philosophy of Nature and Epicurus' Philosophy of Nature, which was unanimously passed without the presence of Marx. In this sense, Marx's later social and political theory has been initially outlined.
On the one hand, Marx wants to pursue an ideal society, which is communism; On the other hand, Marx's conception of communism is not a castle in the air or a blind movement, but a scientific truth based on scientific rigorous analysis and historical materialism. Marx devoted himself to the revolutionary cause all his life, aiming at establishing ideals and social systems on the basis of science and rationality, and finally realizing the free and all-round development of human beings.
Chapters 5 to 18 describe the changes Marx faced after he entered the workplace and society. The life of this great man is the same as that of ordinary people. At first, he was kicked out by his mother, and then he took office in Rheinische Zeitung. Here, he can observe a real German society by paying attention to and studying the economic and social situation in the Rhine region. His persistent wish is to study, criticize and reform German society, Defending Mercer Journalists and German Society.
During this period, his resignation, marriage with his lover Yan Ni, expulsion and even poverty did not change Marx's unshakable belief in the revolution.
From 65438 to 0844, Marx met his close comrade Engels in Paris. During this period, Marx was also immersed in unknown hard writing. These manuscripts were transported to the Soviet Union with other manuscripts more than 80 years later, and were translated and sorted out by later generations.
1845 in the second book "German Ideology" co-authored by Ma and En, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "empty talk is wrong for the country, but hard work is good for the country". When he called on young people to roll up their sleeves and work hard, it was not only a contemporary expression of Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also a high expression of Marxism and practice. 1848, Marx drafted the * * * declaration, through which many aspiring young people embarked on the road of pursuing communist ideals. Mao Zedong couldn't put it down.
Especially 1859, the preface of Critique of Political Economy has become the most classic text to express Marx's historical materialism. Productivity determines relations of production, economic base determines superstructure, and human social existence determines human social consciousness. These basic principles of Marxist historical materialism still have important guiding significance for China's current economic development. Historical materialism points out the road of human development and the direction of historical development on the basis of science.
From 65438 to 0862, as a proletarian revolutionary mentor, Marx criticized all kinds of wrong ideas.
1866, the first volume of Das Kapital written by Marx was completed, and the second and third volumes of Das Kapital were written by Engels after the death of Marx. The greatness of Das Kapital lies not only in Marx's half-life hard work and hard writing experience, but more importantly, Marx's concern for people's sufferings, the brilliance of theoretical thinking and the influence on world development.
Modern people have questioned Capital. Marx said that capitalism will perish and communism will be realized, but the development of capitalism still exists in this century and a half. Nevertheless, the publication of Das Kapital is still a great event in the history of human science.
From 19 to chapter 20, 1883, the great man passed away. He didn't leave the scene, but fell asleep forever. He will go down in history forever. 19 17, Lenin russized Marxism and won the October Revolution. May 5, 20 18 is the 200th anniversary of Marx's death.
Now, whether we agree with Marx or not, he has shaped our concept of society. To develop Marxism in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century and Marxism in contemporary China, we must base ourselves on China, look at the world, keep the theoretical character of keeping pace with the times, deeply understand the contemporary and practical significance of Marxism, persistently promote the China, modernization and popularization of Marxism, and make Marxism shine more brilliantly.
