Marxist human theory is a sience which studies human nature, human existence and the general law of human development,whose fundamental task is to solve the problem of the relationship between man and object, that is to say, whose purpose is, correctly through practice,to deal with the relationship between man and nature, man and society, man and man, to promote the allround development of human beings, and to strive for the freedom and liberation of human beings. “Peopleorientation” is an important principle in Marxist human theory, which is formed on the basis of criticizing the western humanism trend of thought,especially Feuerbachs humanism. It is both the sublation and transcendence of the western humanism,and it has been enriched and developed in practice.Due to the relationship between the subject and object of ideological and political education, human development is the core index. Then, whether it can help promote the development of human beings has become an internal yardstick of judging the rationality of the relationship between the subject and object of ideological and political education.Therefore, we must put the “peopleoriented” principle as the premise of establishing the relationship between the subject and object of ideological and political education,starting from the standpoint of Marxist human theory.We must take real people as the logical starting point to optimizing the relationship between the subject and object of ideological and political education.And finally,we must take human development as the foothold of building a dynamic and harmonious relationship between the subject and object of ideological and political education from the needs of the people.
