Stirner is a hidden important clue and a key motivating factor in the transformation of Marx’s philosophy thought.Because of the advent of humanistic "quasi-philosophy",Stirner came out-in order to criticize Feuerbach,but unfortunately Marx is now belonging to the "Feuerbach school " with " critical reservations ".Therefore,Stirner’s criticism undoubtedly hurt Marx and made Marx understand the point that both Feuerbach and Stirner wanted to criticize speculative philosophy,but in the end they both fell into the cage of speculative philosophy.Then,in order to achieve complete criticism and transcendence of speculative philosophy,Marx must achieve complete criticism and transcendence of Feuerbach and Stirner.Marx took Stirner as the object of criticism,it was from the perspective of criticizing Stirner that he re-examined the way out of philosophy,thus realizing the transformation of his philosophy.The Young Hegelian school,as the soil of Marx’s thought,restored God to man at the beginning,which opened a new path of philosophy after Hegel’s "speculative theology".Feuerbach’s "quasi-essence" did not achieve a complete criticism of Hegel’s philosophy,but instead fell into its critical path of critical object.Stirner criticized Feuerbach with Feuerbach’s method of criticizing Hegel,while Marx criticized Stirner with Stirner’s critique of Feuerbach.Feuerbach was based on perceptual intuition,and Stirner captured the "individual",but in the end they all unfortunately failed to achieve a complete subversion of Hegelian philosophy,because they never left Hegelian philosophy,only the base of Marx who jumped out of this base realized the end of Hegelian philosophy and even all modern metaphysics with perceptual activity theory.This end means that Marx realized his own philosophical revolution and completed the transformation of philosophical thought,and it is undoubted that Stirner played a important role in this transformation.So,what is the complete course and truth of the transformation of Marx’s philosophy thought?For the answer to this question,we have found an almost accepted answer in numerous research works and literature: in the life of Marx,the transformation of his philosophical thinking was from idealism to materialism.In my opinion,this conclusion has the following danger: it hides the real contribution of Marx’s philosophical revolution.Marx,who once believed that "philosophy is the essence of the spirit of the times" is indeed an idealist,and has since turned to materialism.However,the transformation of Marx’s philosophical thinking did not achieve its final conclusion,and its complete transformation path should be idealism-materialism-practice.If Marx just completed the transition from idealism to materialism,what is the connotation of his philosophical revolution? What is the difference between him and Feuerbach? After all,we all know clearly that the great merits of the materialist victory in return belong to Feuerbach.Therefore,when Feuerbach is not satisfied with Marx,Marx will inevitably achieve another transformation on the basis of Feuerbach,and the important trigger for this transformation is Stirner’s criticism of Feuerbach.It was his criticism of Feuerbach that exposed the essence of "quasi-philosophy" as abstract speculative philosophy.Marx defaulted to the correctness and rationality of Stirner’s critique of Feuerbach.It is precisely because of Stirner’s stimulating effect that Marx realized the domination and transcendence of idealism and materialism with "practical theory".In the process of Marx ’s transformation of philosophical thoughts,the role played by Stirner should be valued,even though Marx himself did not explicitly recognize the influence and inspiration of Stirner.The reason why Stirner’s criticism of Feuerbach is Hegel’s "bad plagiarism" is that Feuerbach’s critique of Hegel’s speculative philosophy transcends Stirner’s critique of Feuerbach..Stirner did capture the essence of Feuerbach’s speculative philosophy,but Stirner’s criticism of Feuerbach was far from the limits and heights of Feuerbach’s critique of Hegel’s speculative philosophy.However,it was precisely Stirner that completely exposed all the secrets of speculative philosophy,so that Marx understood the essential connotation of his philosophical revolution: thoroughly criticizing Feuerbach and Stirner,in order to achieve a complete criticism,subversion and transcendence of speculative philosophy.Without the awakening and arousal of the "the ego and his own",Marx would not be able to list Stirner as the object of criticism,and thus may not complete the transformation of philosophical thinking in a short time.Through the study of Stirner,we can see not only the internal logic of the transformation of Marx’s philosophical thought,but also the comprehensive innovative consciousness and self-criticism in the process of the maturity of Marx’s thought.In order to explore the role of Stirner in forming Marx ’s own new ideas,we need to carefully comb and study in depth from a philosophical perspective,and explore the important role of Stirner in the transformation of Marx ’s philosophy thought.Deepen people’s understanding of the foundation and origin of Marx’s philosophy,and restore the development path and connotation truth of Marx’s philosophy thought.
