Research on Marx’s Thoughts of Subject and Object during Neue Rheinische Zeitung

The period of Neue Rheinische Zeitung is important to the turning point of Marx’s thoughts. With the review of the theory and experience after the failure of the revolution in 1848, Marx had realized that the previous philosophy, based on the excessive interpretation of subjectivity, had been unable to bring the success of the proletarian revolution and he needed make shifts from humanism to the dissection of relations of material production of capitalism, and from philosophy critique to economic critique. The philosophical turn of Marx not only made a significant impact on his own philosophical thinking, but also provided an important theoretical reference for later Western Marxism and even to today’s study of contemporary capitalist society. Therefore, an objective assessment of the philosophical shift is an essential part of combing the history of Marx’s thoughts.
