马克思对资本主义的公共卫生批判

全球肆虐的新冠肺炎疫情引发学界对公共卫生问题的高度关注。其实百年前,马克思就曾对资本主义的公共卫生问题展开深度批判。对资本主义公共卫生问题的揭示,是马克思公共卫生批判的立足点,他深刻揭露了资本主义社会中恶劣的生活环境、糟糕的饮食状况和肆虐的霍乱疫情；进一步剖析出资本主义社会公共卫生问题的根本成因在于资本逻辑,体现在资本对工人的奴役,资本主义公共卫生治理的局限性以及资本主导下人与自然关系的异化。马克思认为,资本主义公共卫生问题化解的根本之道在于以人类解放为目标指引,依靠无产阶级的主体力量,以革命的方式推翻资本主义制度。马克思对资本主义的公共卫生批判对当今的公共卫生治理仍有深刻的启示意义,涉及社会制度保障、人民至上理念以及生态环境保护。

Marx's Criticism of Capitalist Public Health

The global epidemic of COVID-19 has aroused great concern in the academic circles about public health issues. In fact, a hundred years ago, Marx launched in-depth criticism on capitalist public health issues. The revelation of capitalist public health problems is the foothold of Marx''s public health criticism. He deeply exposed the poor living environment, poor diet and rampant cholera epidemic in capitalist society; He further analyzed that the fundamental cause of public health problems in capitalist society lies in capital logic, which is reflected in the enslavement of capital to workers, the limitations of capitalist public health governance and the alienation of the relationship between man and nature under the guidance of capital; Marx believed that the ultimate solution to the capitalist public health problem lies in the overthrow of the capitalist system by means of revolution, guided by the goal of human liberation and relying on the main force of the proletariat. Marx''s critique of capitalism''s public health still has profound enlightenment significance to today''s public health governance, involving social system guarantee, people''s supremacy concept and ecological environment protection.
