Abstract

The capital is the central category of political economy as the anatomy of bourgeois society, in which the wealth appears as immense accumulation of goods. Political economists approach to the research of the whole social life from the point of view of reproduction of wealth in the form of capital. But according to Marx — the wealth — deprived of its limited bourgeois capital form — does not mean goods, things, but first of all the totality of human productive forces in the dynamics of its development. For the science of communism this conception of wealth results in the task of investigating the whole process of reproduction of social reality from the point of view of reproduction of wealth in new social form, from the point of view of reproduction of wealth as an advancement of capabilities of human personality. The author proves that similarly like the capital is the central category for understanding the whole bourgeois society, so culture — comprehended as the determinative relationship of communist society — is the central category of the science of communism.
