PHILOSOPHICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL ISSUES IN CHINESE MARXISM: KEY IDEAS AND CONCEPTS

Abstract

In the article, on the basis of a detailed study of the ideas of modern Chinese philosophers, a systematic examination of the features of the philosophical and anthropological discourse within the framework of Chineseized Marxism is carried out. Conceptually, for the realization of the set goals and objectives, the work of such theorists and thinkers of Chineseized Marxism as Mao Zedong, Li Jiehou, Li Dazhao, Qu Qiubo are taken into account, and two key philosophical and anthropological questions are also highlighted: the essence of human nature and the meaning of human existence. The opinion is substantiated that modern Chinese thinkers, seeing a dichotomy in human nature - social and natural - focus their attention on the social component, emphasizing that it is relations in society that form the basis of any human activity. It is revealed that in thinking about the nature of man, Chinese thinkers took into account not only the work of K. Marx, but also I. Kant. Considering and thinking about the meaning of human existence, the opinion is proven that in Chinese Marxism, as well as in Soviet Marxism, there is a concept of a "new man" who will live exclusively on the principles and principles of Marxist philosophy. It is proved that the importance of this concept for Chinese Marxism is due to the solution of the question of the role and significance of man in history. It was found that although the emphasis is on the social purpose of human life, we can still find considerations about the existential aspect within the framework of Chineseized Marxism, which is manifested in living for the sake of self-improvement and other people.
