资本的政治文明化趋势及其限度

The Political Civilization Tendency of Capital and Its Limit

马克思资本现代性批判的根据是历史唯物主义基础上的社会存在论。马克思把资本确定为现代社会的本质和基本建制,现代性在本质上就是资本现代性,现代政治文明是在资本逻辑中展开的。马克思揭示了资本政治文明的成就,也揭示了它的限度。要建立社会主义政治文明,必须发挥资本推动政治文明的巨大作用,同时,要警惕资本的负面影响。当今社会占主导地位的力量仍然是资本,因此,马克思的资本现代性批判理论仍具有重要的时代意义。

The social existence theory, which is based on the historical materialism, is the foundation of Marx ’s critical theory of capitalistic modernity. Marx revealed the achievement of the political civilization and the limits brought about by capital. In order to establish the political civilization of the socialism, we must exert the great function of capital to promote the political civilization. At the same time, we must discover the bad influence of capital in our socialist construction. The capital is the main force in the present world. Therefore, Marx ’s critical theory of capitalistic modernity is very important in our times.
