The formation mechanism， content composition， and contemporary revelation of Marx’s health thought / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

An important premise of Marxism is to attach importance to human health. Although Marx did not specially discuss health problems， many of his writings contain a rich view of health， which is an important part of the Marxist theoretical system. From the viewpoint of the formation mechanism， the emergence of Marx’s health thought is based on the historical development of the demand for the scientific view of health， developed in Marx’s in-depth thinking and research on historical materialism， sublimated in the need to guide the realistic movement of the working class at that time， and continuously enriched and developed based on practical experience. In terms of the composition of content， Marx’s health thought includes emphasis on workers’ health rights， concern for the public living environment， and the proposition that health is a necessary quality for people in future society. It provides ideological guidance for the cultivation of people’s view of health， theoretical enlightenment for the promotion of the construction of a healthy China， and a powerful weapon for resolving global health problems.
