Ma Zhe starts from practice to review, see through and understand the existing world, and understands the object, reality and sensibility as practice.
Marx defined his philosophical object as human's practical activities as the foundation of the existing world, and defined the task of philosophy as solving the relationship between human and the world, subject and object, and subjective and objective in practical activities, thus providing methodology for changing the world.
For the first time, Marx promoted practice to the fundamental principle of philosophy and transformed it into a philosophical way of thinking, thus creating a new form of modern materialism with practice as the core and foundation.
The view of scientific practice is the ideological mechanism for Marx to establish dialectical materialism and historical materialism. Practical viewpoint is not only a sharp weapon for Marxist philosophy to criticize idealism, but also a dividing line with old materialism, thus ending traditional philosophy.
Important significance
Marxist philosophy sets out from practice to solve the basic problem of philosophy, that is, the relationship between thinking and existence is the highest abstraction of the relationship between man and the world. Marxist philosophy profoundly points out that the relationship between man and the world is essentially the relationship between man and the world through practice.
Solving the relationship between man and the world from practice is the essence and key to realize the great philosophical change of Marxist philosophy. It is practice that provides people with the object of understanding. Therefore, in practice, people not only know the world, but also transform it, creating a human world and a natural comfortable world based on nature. Therefore, practice has not only epistemological significance, but also world outlook significance.
The fundamental difference between Marxist philosophy and all other philosophies lies in its unique way of solving basic philosophical problems. Neither the old materialism nor idealism understood human practical activities and their significance, which led to their great defects in understanding and observing the world.
Marxist philosophy understands the real world from practice, thus obtaining a brand-new explanation in the world outlook, natural outlook, historical outlook and epistemology, and constructing a unified, thorough and scientific philosophical system.
