人性与人的本质——马克思的视角

Humanity and Human Essence:Marx's Angle of View

在马克思的理论视野中,人并不是一个抽象的存在物,而是基于自身生命需要在一定的社会关系中、在所从事的实践活动过程中不断生成的历史存在物。人正是由于在自身需要的驱使下,在一定的社会关系里和所从事的改造世界的实践活动中,才获得人之为人的真正本质,成为具体的、历史的人。这样,马克思就从具体人性的视角规定了人的本质。

According to Marxist theory, the human is not an abstract existence but the unceasing historical existence engaging in the practice based on own life needs in certain social relations. The human obtains person＇ s true essence and becomes the concrete and historical person just because he is drived by needs and engages in practice to recreate the world. Thus, Marx stipulated person＇ s essence from the angle of concrete humanity.
