It is a necessary way in further studying on Marxism philosophy to comprehend the revolution of Marx's philosophy accurately. In order to study the essence of the revolution of Marx's philosophy effectively, we need the consciousness of methodology and multiple analytic perspectives. The distinctive wisdom of Marx's philosophy first originates from the real practical activities, i.e., from Marx's comprehension and critique of the real social practice in his time. It also originates from Marx's deliberate logical dissection to the real practical activities and Marx's consciousness of subjectivity. Therefore, we must take the logic and historical way to study the revolution of Marx's philosophy.Based on the above-mentioned viewpoint, I have first researched on Marx's reflection and critique on the tradition of the western philosophy. The dissertation emphasizes that the revolution of Marx's philosophy originates from the dilemma that the traditional western philosophy encountered. The total characteristic of the development of the traditional western philosophy is that the logos is treated as the center when investigated the arche of the world, pursued the ultimate reality, the eternal principle and the absolute truth. It relied on self-improvement of the rationality and logic to emancipate the human beings. But from Marx's view, instead of explaining the world, the more important meaning of philosophy is to remake the world. The original object of the revolution of Marx's philosophy is to substitute the rational determinism by practical activities, to dissolve the ontological reductionism by his historical Generativism, and to replace the path of individual ethical salvation by the emancipation of real individuals. Then Marx's philosophy overturns the tradition of western logocentrism, and really realizes the historical leap from'explaining the world'to'remaking the world'.From the appeal of the emancipation of individuals'value of subjectivity, to the paradigm in which human beings generates historically on the basis of practice, to the eternal paradigm in which the real emancipation of individuals bases on the unity of the individual and society, this indicates the scientific way of the emancipation of real individuals during the course in which Marx's philosophy dissolves and transcends the tradition of the western logocentrism., which enables historical materialism to become science.Following this logic clue, the dissertation tries to elucidate the real meaning of Marx's philosophy according to the texts which reflects the philosophical thought of Marx. This dissertation shows that Marx' Dissertation reveals the passion on remaking the world and the value objective on the emancipation of human beings. But at that time Marx'philosophy equated the real liberty to the liberty of self-consciousness. Manuscripts in Paris brought forward the thought of the labor alienation, communication alienation, and criticized Hegel's dialectics. However, it did not extricate itself from the speculative philosophy of humanism while displaying the realistic and historical logic. During the period of The German Ideology, Marx's philosophy dissected the basis and laws of social development using the analytic method of historical generativism by transferring the theoretical research object from the history of religion and self-consciousness to the realistic process of social practice. It criticized the historical idealism from the viewpoint of producing and re-producing of material existing situation. During the period when Marx wrote the work of Economic Manuscripts(1857-1858) and On Capital, Marx's philosophy explored the relation between individuals in the progress of material production. It gave special emphasis to study the producing and re-producing of the social relations that coincides with the producing of material existing situation. What's more, by ascending the method from abstract to concrete, Marx's philosophy revealed the producing and re-producing of production relations in capitalism, therefore Marx's philosophy accomplished the exploring of the basic laws of social development and the emancipation of human beings.
