关系范畴的厘定：理解《资本论》的钥匙

在《资本论》及其手稿中,马克思不仅站在关系的立场阐述了劳动范畴,而且从社会关系出发对经济学的重要范畴——商品和资本——进行了全面深刻的分析。马克思认为,商品的价值并不在于它的物性,而是在于以物的形式承载的人与人的社会关系;资本也不是一种物,它也是一种关系,是一种以物为媒介的人与人之间的社会关系,而且只能是一定历史社会形态的生产关系。因此,从关系出发厘定劳动、商品和资本等几个重要范畴,是马克思研究资本主义社会的立足点,也是理解《资本论》的钥匙。

The Definition of Relational Categories:The Key to Understanding Capital

In Capital and the relevance books, based on the relationship Marx not only expounded labor, but also comprehensively and profoundly analyzed two important economic categories- goods and capital. Marx thought that value of goods is not its property, but the social relationship appearing through the object. Capital is not a thing, but a kind of relation, a kind of media in the social relations between people, a certain historical social relations of production. So the definition of relational categories including labor, goods and capital is the key to understanding capital.
