Abstract：Marx’s humanistic view of life focuses on the core issue of transcending the enslavement of life and achieving its enrichment and freedom, with its formation and development embodying a distinct problem consciousness. It is not a product of abstract speculation but represents a historic transformation of old views of life, critically sublated from ancient naturalist, medieval theocentric, and modern humanist conceptions of life, grounded in social reality and the needs of the era. This theory profoundly reveals the abstraction and fragmentation of human existence under the dominance of capital logic, systematically analyzes alienated labor as the root cause and mechanism of life’s predicaments, and proposes communism as the means to transcend private ownership and restore the totality of life. Thus, taking “real individuals” as its logical starting point, practice as its consistent methodology, and the holistic existence of human life as its value orientation, Marx established a humanistic view of life based on dialectical materialism, historical materialism, and practical materialism, reflecting a scientific paradigm. Marx’s humanistic view of life demonstrates a dialectical character that unifies natural attributes and species characteristics, sociality and historicity, as well as civility and progressiveness. It provides multidimensional perspectives for understanding human life in the context of modernity, enlightening people to accurately comprehend and grasp the essence and laws of human life activities, thereby contributing to the creation of a new form of human advancement and the realization of human free and comprehensive development.
