| The question of the reality of philosophy has a long history.Beginning in ancient Greece,philosophers explored the origin of the world by asking questions.In the time of Plato,Plato believed that the world can be divided into the "real world" and the "idea world".The "real world" is an imitation of the "idea world".The reality of the ideology becomes the "abstract reality" of the world of ideas.This distinction between the "real world" and the "ideal world" deeply influenced later philosophers.Marx’s discussion on the reality of philosophy runs through his entire theoretical career.In a certain sense,Marx has gone through three stages in his discussion of the reality of philosophy,namely,"abstract reality" in the Hegelian period,"perceptual reality" in the period of Feuerbach’s study,and historical "Practical reality" in the period of materialism.Philosophers before Hegel took the "super-sensible world" as the logical starting point of philosophy,and then understood the reality of philosophy as the"abstract reality" of ideas.Hegel endowed the "abstract reality" with the idea of dialectics,forming an "abstract reality" with a process of movement and development of"the unity of essence and existence".Based on the "abstract reality" of "the unity of essence and existence",Marx expounded the idea that "the world of philosophy" and"philosophizing of the world" can be unified through dialectical movement.However,the "abstract reality" of "the unity of essence and existence" cannot explain the"difficulty of material interests",and Marx embraced the "perceptual reality" that pays more attention to the empirical world.Feuerbach reversed the understanding that the"super-perceptual world" dominates the "perceptual world",took the naturally existing"perceptual world" as his philosophical starting point,and understood reality as sensibility and objectivity.Based on the understanding of "perceptual reality",Marx expounded the thought of alienated labor after studying national economics.However,Marx gradually realized that "perceptual reality" tends to fall into pure intuition and lacks an active and historical perspective.Through the double criticism of Hegel’s philosophy and Feuerbach’s philosophy,Marx combined the dialectical elements in Hegel’s "abstract reality" with the perceptual and objective elements in Feuerbach’s"perceptual reality".Combined,they form the "practical reality" of man.The "practical reality" of Marxism is the reality of revolutionary,critical and historical objective activities.On the basis of certain material conditions,people continue to create themselves,the surrounding environment,and human society and history through perceptual activities.Marx further deepened the "reality of practice",studied political economy and social movements in depth,and put forward the theory of surplus value and scientific socialism.Studying Marx’s exploration of the reality of philosophy can help us understand the current social situation more deeply and avoid falling into the strange circle of "abstract reality" and "perceptual reality". |
