两种价值观的互补性

马克思劳动价值论是由体力劳动和脑力劳动两个不可分割的部分组成,而现代西方学者把劳动价值和知识价值割裂开来,并用知识价值取代劳动价值。事实上,强调知识价值在今天的主导作用无可厚非,但是,知识只有通过劳动才能转化为商品,把潜在价值转化为现实价值。劳动价值和知识价值不是相互排斥的,而是相互补充的。我们既应该坚持劳动价值论,又应该强调知识在其中的重要作用。

The Complementation of Two Kinds of Value

Marxist view of labor is made up of two indispensable parts: mental labor and manual labor. Some western scholars not only sever labor value from knowledge value, but also replace labor value with knowledge value. Although, there is no reason for criticizing the dominant role of knowledge value nowadays, knowledge can be transformed into products only through labor. What's more, it's labor that transforms latent value into real value. Labor and knowledge values do not repel each other, but complement instead. Holding firmly to labor value and emphasizing the importance of knowledge at the same time are of great theoretical as well as practical significance for our nation's development.
