The Dimension Of "the Other" In Marxist Dialectics

In recent years,Marx’s transformation of traditional philosophy is a transformation of philosophical paradigm,that is,from traditional theoretical philosophy paradigm to practical philosophy paradigm,which has become the consensus of the academic community.However,the theoretical significance of this philosophical change is still a subject that needs to be explored in depth for the theoretical circle.From the perspective of the innovation of dialectics theory,Marx’s transformation from the traditional theoretical philosophy paradigm to the practical philosophy paradigm is the theoretical root of his “reversal” of Hegel’s dialectics.Therefore,the former textbook philosophy system understood the Marxist philosophy revolution as “replacing idealism with materialism”,which lost its simplification and one sidedness.The defect of Hegel’s dialectics is that it is a closed and inclusive theoretical system.Therefore,the difference between Marx’s dialectics and Hegel’s dialectics lies in its openness and inclusiveness.However,“Marxist dialectics is an open dialectics” is,after all,a conclusion of simple and rough.If we want to really understand the revolutionary significance of Marxist dialectics,we can not be limited to this conclusion.As far as the ideological roots are concerned,the openness of Marxist dialectics originates from its inherent negativity.From the perspective of philosophical paradigm transformation,Marxist dialectics is based on the practical point of view of dialectics,and practice itself is a negative human activity,and things in the human world are developed through human practice.On the other hand,the concept category is the generalization and summary of people’s understanding of things in the process of practice.With the deepening of people’s practice,the concept category and its own connotation and extension have been continuously deepened and developed.In this sense,Marxist dialectics is the dialectics of practice.The establishment of the practical point of view makes Marxist dialectics save and liberate the dimension of “the other” which was covered by Hegel’s Dialectics in the past.Hegel’s dialectics is the peak of the development of traditional dialectics.The theoretical evolution of traditional dialectics itself is a process in which “the other” dimension is constantly covered and suppressed.Gadamer,a master of philosophical hermeneutics,once understood dialectics as a “dialogue” between man as “here” and “the other” as a historical text.In terms of the nature of practice,practice in the sense of Marx is also a more extensive dialogue between man and the world,between man and “the other”.In this sense,it is precisely because of the establishment of the practical point of view that Marx’s dialectics recovers the dimension of “dialogue” abandoned by Hegel’s dialectics,and then recovers the dimension of “the other”.In addition,the negativity of practice also determines that Marxist dialectics must have a theoretical dimension of negativity.The root of traditional dialectics concealing the dimension of “the other” lies in the internal “entanglement” between itself and traditional metaphysics.According to textbook philosophy,dialectics and metaphysics are totally opposite,but this is a misunderstanding.In the historical development,dialectics has always been subordinate to metaphysics,which emphasizes absolute identity and affirmation,which overwhelms the original negativity of dialectics.The deeper significance of Marx’s philosophy reform is to remove the “entanglement” between dialectics and traditional metaphysics,and to restore the suppressed negative theoretical dimension in traditional dialectics.Therefore,the exploration of the other dimension in Marxist dialectics should be combined with the exploration of the relationship between dialectics and metaphysics.
