无论是从文本还是社会历史现实来看,马克思和恩格斯都没有建构任何类似于经典道德哲学的道德理论,也没有撰写任何标新立异的道德哲学著作。这为后来的马克思主义者在面对现代社会的道德问题时留下了巨大的讨论空间,同时也带来了众多争议。加拿大学者凯·尼尔森试图指出,马克思主义从历史唯物主义视野对资本主义进行的意识形态批判中,不仅隐含着“道德就是意识形态”的基本论断,而且提供了一种超越资本主义道德的意识形态语境。 No matter from the point of view of texts or social history, neither Marx nor Engels constructed any moral theory similar to classical moral philosophy, nor did he write any novel works on moral philosophy. This left a great room for discussion for the later Marxists in the face of the moral problems of modern society, and brought many controversies at the same time. Canadian scholar Kay Nielsen tried to point out that the Marxist critique of the ideology of capitalism from the perspective of historical materialism not only implies the basic assertion that “morality is ideology,” but also provides a transcendence of capitalist morality The ideological context.
