Abstract: In The Philosophical Manuscripts on Economics of 1844, the masterpiece rich in ideas on life, Marx combined the research results of philosophy, political economy and communism to clarify that the internal natural needs of life and the external nature are consistent object relations, that free conscious life activity is the essential characteristic of life, and that life is the historical generation from the alienated state of capitalist society to communist society. The historical generation of holistic existence and other ideas have built a triple specific connotation of natural, practical and socio-historical dimensions of life. This triple dimension provides a vivid theoretical basis for ideological and political education in the new era, and is conducive to ideological and political teachers leading students to form a correct view of life.

Key words: The Philosophical Manuscripts on Economics of 1844, Marx, life thought, thought and political education
