Features: After Western modern academic studies on Marxism, it was discovered that the issue of human alienation is a problem that Marx paid serious attention to. This is the academic background of this book. In fact, Marx has always indicated the meaning of "human" covered by his historical view from the beginning. He said, "Our starting point is the person engaged in practical activity." Marx believed that all entities have meaning because of their objectivity. Therefore, Marx's historical view can be divided into such levels: nature as the object of human existence and human as the object of natural existence; society as the object of human existence and human as the object of social existence; history as the object of human existence and human as the object of historical existence. In this way, Marx's doctrine establishes its vast system with human as the core. In Marx's historical view, productivity, production relations, family, state, consciousness, and other categories form a series of concepts, but these categories are merely abstract forms through which real individuals self-realize and self-create in various objectivity relationships. "The social history of people has always been only the history of their individual development, whether they realize it or not. Their material relations form the foundation of all their relations. These material relations are merely the inevitable forms through which their material and individual activities are realized."
