Marx’s People-Oriented Thought and Its Practice in China

马克思主义最鲜明的理论品格莫过于它的人民性。人民性源于西方传统哲学中的主体性思想和空想社会主义对人民群众的关注，以“现实的人”作为理论内核，揭示了人在实践、历史、价值和权利等方面的主体地位。其最终目标是实现人的自由与全面发展，而劳动则是这一目标的实现途径。如今，有人认为人民性在马克思主义中国化的进程中不需要证明，从而空喊人民性口号，因此阐明马克思人民性思想对马克思人民性在中国的实践和发展具有重要的意义。The most distinctive theoretical hallmark of Marxism lies in its people-centered nature. Rooted in the intellectual foundations of subjectivity from Western classical philosophy and the mass-oriented perspectives of utopian socialism, this people-centered paradigm takes “real person” as its theoretical core, elucidating humanity’s practical agency, historical agency, axiological agency, and rights-bearing agency. Its ultimate value orientation is to achieve free and comprehensive human development, with labor serving as the essential pathway to this goal. Today, some claim that the people-centered principle requires no theoretical justification in the process of Marxism’s Sinicization, thereby reducing it to empty sloganeering. Therefore, clarifying Marx’s people-centered thought is of great significance for the practice and development of Marxist people-centeredness in China.
