Abstract
Research of labor concept in Manuscript of Economics and Philosophy in 1844 in China is mainly developed in two ways: one is that since labor is regarded as a philosophical concept, people, focusing on alienated labor, probe into the social criticism meaning of Marx's labor; the other is that labor is regarded as an empirical concept of political economics, people, focusing on “wage labor”, discuss the social epistemological meaning of Marx's labor. In fact, Marx's concept of labor is just a general one by using a philosophical term and thinking of humanism to describe the economic structure of capitalist society, i.e., capitalist production relations. The concept includes something of both value criticism and social epistemology.
