“Satisfying the People’s Need for a Better Life”:The Contemporary Expression of Marxist View of Happiness

“满足人民美好生活需要”是马克思主义幸福观在新时代富有创见的表达,它内在地包含着对“谁的幸福”“何为幸福”和“如何幸福”三个问题的自洽回答。对于“谁的幸福”的问题,它不仅强调追求人民幸福的价值立场,而且强调了人民的个体性和整体性的统一,使“幸福”的主体在新时代得到更为明晰和现实的显现。对于“何为幸福”的问题,它呈现了幸福的理想之维、实践之维和关系之维三个维度的有机统一,在新时代语境中创新性地彰显了马克思主义幸福观的全部内涵。相应地,对于“如何幸福”的问题,它的思路是从幸福的实践之维和关系之维着手,构建通达幸福理想之维的现实途径。具体来说,就是在社会层面通过深化改革破除阻滞人民幸福的社会关系,从而为人们在个人层面通过实践和奋斗去追求美好生活开辟道路。

“Satisfying the people’s need for a better life”is an innovative expression of Marxist view of happiness in the new era. It inherently contains self consistent answers to the three questions of“whose happiness”,“what is happiness”and“how to achieve happiness”. For the problem of“whose happiness”, it not only emphasizes the value standpoint of pursuing people’s happiness, but also emphasizes the unity of people’s individuality and entirety, and makes the subject of“happiness”more clear and realistic in the new era. For the problem of“what is happiness”, it presents the organic unity of the three dimensions of happiness: the ideal dimension, the practice dimension and the relationship dimension, and creatively reveals all the connotation of Marxist view of happiness in the context of the new era. Accordingly, for the problem of“How to achieve happiness”, the idea is to build a realistic path to the ideal dimension of happiness, start from the practice dimension and relationship dimension of happiness. Specifically, at the social level, it deepens reform to break the social relations that hinder people’s happiness. And at the personal level, it opens a way to pursue a better life for people with practice and struggle.
