Spiritual production theory is an indispensable part of social production, and its investigation needs to start from the historical background of capitalism. In capitalist society, material production dominates, and capitalists' unlimited access to capital proliferation derives the law of capital production - capital logic. As one of the capital production, spiritual production cannot bypass the logic of capital and has become a means for capital to obtain benefits. Under the influence of capital, the spiritual production is alienated, so that the subject spirit is controlled by the logic of capital, so that the subject itself is lost. However, Marx did not completely deny the logic of capital, but criticized its destruction of spiritual civilization, and also affirmed the creative role of capital in spiritual civilization to a certain extent.
