Tracing The Origin Of Marxist Ontology

The problem of Marxist ontology includes two points. Firstly, has Marxist ontology? Secondly, if Marxist has its ontology, how we can comprehend it? Without deeply researching of ontology itself, it is impossible to answer the two problems. Though Parmenides began regarding "on" as an object of philosophy, Aristotle is first to set up a complete ontology. Consequently, to trace the origin of Marxist ontology means to research Aristotle's ontology.In brief, ontology by Aristotle is a theory of "on" which includes the theory of beings and the one of "ousia", the later is the main part of ontology. The connotation of ousia is composed of essence and hypokeimenon, then the denotation of ousia includes eidos, hyle and the individual. Correspondingly, Marxist ontology also includes two parts, the theory of social existence and the one of real individual.
