Marx’s Cultural Thought and Its Value Research—A Case Study of Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

马克思没有完整的、系统的文化思想，其文化思想分布于多部著作中，如《1844年经济学哲学手稿》。文章以《手稿》为例，指出马克思批判继承并发展了康德、黑格尔、费尔巴哈及赫斯等人的文化思想，文化产生于人对自然的实践活动，其本质在于人的本质力量的对象化，文化在促进个体解放、塑造理想人格方面发挥关键作用，应重视文化的培育与教化功能。在全球化深入发展的背景下，我国建设社会主义文化强国需结合马克思的文化思想，培养中华民族的文化自信，推进中国特色社会主义先进文化建设。当前，我国应深入挖掘本土文化精髓，将中国具体实际与马克思的文化思想结合，同时开放包容地接纳外来文化，推动文化的和谐共生，建设社会主义文化强国。Marx did not develop a complete or systematic cultural theory; his cultural thought is scattered across various works, including Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. Taking the Manuscripts as an example, this paper argues that Marx critically inherited and developed the cultural ideas of Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, and Hess. Culture arises from human practical activities about nature, and its essence lies in the objectification of human essential powers. Culture plays a crucial role in promoting individual liberation and shaping ideal personalities, emphasizing the importance of its nurturing and educational functions. Against the backdrop of deepening globalization, China’s construction of a strong socialist culture must integrate Marx’s cultural thought, foster cultural confidence in the Chinese nation, and advance the development of an advanced socialist culture with Chinese characteristics. Currently, China should delve into the essence of its local culture, combine its specific realities with Marx’s cultural thought, and inclusively embrace foreign cultures to promote harmonious cultural coexistence and build a strong socialist cultural nation.
