Philosophy is the fundamental way for people to understand the world by its deep reflection and criticalness. Every philosophical view explores its ultimate concern for world origin and significance of human life through form of nationality, content of times, pursuits of humanity and style of individual. Philosophy always seeks for universality and transcendence; however, it is the most individualized and possesses colorful national content and form. Philosophy exists in the carrier of nationality whose development is the result of the comprehensive effects of geographical environment, social production mode and political structure, communication between nations, cultural traditions, science, religions and language of a particular nation. In other words, there is no such philosophy as without nationality. Nationality is something inherent in the concept of philosophy; that is, the existence form and essential attribute. Philosophy refers to the highest theoretical generalization of a particular people in a particular time carrying out a specific social practice with unique historical and cultural traditions. Philosophy of a particular nation centers on its own unique ontology, epistemology, axiology, outlook on life and the ultimate foundation of their living, condenses their own national personality, language, psychology, thinking ways and national spirit. In the same way, philosophy is the soul of nationality from the perspective of the national development itself. The development of nations can not be separated from philosophy. In other words, a nation can not stand among the nations in the world without its own national philosophy. Three major philosophies:traditional Hindu philosophy, Chinese philosophy and Graeco philosophy, own their unique content category and manifestation forms. From the philosophical feature, Hindu philosophy is a kind of philosophy of religion in nature; Chinese philosophy ethnics and philosophy of life; Graeco philosophy science and rational philosophy. Western philosophy, which is originated from Graeco philosophy, is distributed by British empirical philosophy, French enlightenment and materialism philosophy, German classical and rationalism philosophy, and American philosophy of pragmatism. While Oriental philosophies, such as Hindu philosophy, Chinese philosophy and Arabian philosophy, are distinct from each other. However, philosophy of Japan, South Korea and Singapore nations are mutually influenced by Chinese and Hindu philosophies. Taken these morphologies of philosophical nationality into further considerations, it can be seen that each national philosophy owns its unique incommensurability feature, yet no philosophy is superior to others, nevertheless they possess their own strength and shortcomings, tending to the philosophy family similarity of philosophy of human nature and universality, forming the mutual relation and multi-philosophies by wiping off paradigm of western philosophy.Marxist philosophy is the most scientific philosophical system and the greatest understanding tool with worldwide significance, which derives from Western philosophy, especially from the nationality of German philosophy, but beyond the previous philosophy narrow national and regional limitations,becomes the doctrine of the proletariat and liberation of all mankind by its three philosophical features:cosmopolitan, universality and humanity, and is the revolutionary transform in philosophy history. As a kind of new world outlook and methodology, practice is the primary and basic ideas in Marxist philosophy. Marxist philosophy stressed that its task is not only a scientific interpretation of the world, but in reality to change the world. Marxist philosophy realizes the unification of nationality and cosmopolitan, its combination with nations is the realization of cosmopolitan progress. Also its universal truth is endowed with particular national characteristics by the application into concrete revolutionary practice of oppressed peoples and nations. Marxist philosophy is living knowledge and action guide. Its universal truth can be realized alone Marxist philosophy combines with the concrete revolutionary practice of oppressed peoples and nations that develops into philosophy with national characteristics. Therefore, Marxist philosophy is not a single national philosophy of nationality, nationality but with a global vision and the height of the real world, it realizes the unification of nationality and cosmopolitan ultimately.Chinese nation is the only one which survives and continues from ancient to the present day, and its strong validity is rooted in long-historical, unique Chinese charming traditional philosophy and culture. However, from recent history, the progress of world history of modernization of western industrial civilization breaks the original logic of Chinese traditional philosophy and culture, forming traditional breakdown, resulting that Chinese modernization progress calls for modern transformation of traditional philosophy and culture.

Besides, constructing shared spiritual homeland deserves to be the theme and era summon of current Chinese philosophy’s nationality. The significance of the study falls into the following three aspects:consider and lead the development path with national characteristics on the high level of philosophy, to pursue innovation and development of contemporary Chinese philosophy, to guide great practice of contemporary socialism with Chinese characteristics. In this way, Chinese nation shoulders not only philosophy development mission of philosophy itself and improvement of cultural soft power, but also national mission of standing among nations in the world and the realization of the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation.The research frame of the dissertation is from conceptual construction-development progress-content and form-contemporary space-time circumstance-Marxist philosophy sight-to Chinese philosophy.
