Sellars and other philosophers developed the ontology of folk psychology:folk psychology is a causal interpretation theory in which people use the propositional attitudes such as belief, desire and so on to predict and understand our own and others' daily behaviors, so it makes our interpretation of the physical and mental problem enter a new field of philosophy of mind----folk psychology. Some philosophers, such as Fodor defends it, they believe the propositional attitudes exist really, Dennett and others think it is only an interpretation tool, Churchland who adheres to the point of view of eliminative materialism believes that the concepts of folk psychology is bound to be taken place of by the words of scientific psychology.Marxist philosophy is a scientific world outlook and methodology that is about the nature human,society and thought. It provides us a reasonable theoretical perspectives for us to study them, we also can interpret and analyze folk psychology in multidimensional perspectives from the theory of Marxist philosophy such as natural, evolutional, socia,cultural and systematical perspectiveFinally, we come to the conclusions:Folk psychology is one of the interpretations or solutions of the mind-body problem, and the division of mind and body is the origin of the mind-body problem. The prediction and explanation of behaviors is the brain and body's overall function. How to interpret or predict our own and others'actions is not only a problem of philosophy but also a problem of practice.We should actively learn from the achievements of Western folk psychology to excavate China's native folk psychology resources and create our own folk psychology system.
