试论实践在马克思主义思想中的本体论地位——与董学文教授商榷

On the Ontological Position of Practice in Marxism:A Discussion with Prof.Dong Xuewen

董学文教授在近期对"实践存在论"美学的批评中指出,马克思主义是一种物质本体论而不是实践本体论,把实践确立为本体,就会忽视物质的先在性或第一性,从而走向历史唯心论。我们认为,这种对马克思主义的理解和解释忽视了其思想的内在精神。当马克思的哲学革命彻底颠覆了形而上学,赋予物质概念和唯物论哲学以崭新内涵的时候,这种观点却把马克思拉回到旧的唯物论立场上去,从而扼杀了其思想的真正生命力。对此我们主张,马克思主义在根本上是一种实践本体论而不是物质本体论,这种本体论承认自然的先在性,但却不认可物质的先在性。与此相应,历史唯物论坚持的也是经济的而不是物质的决定作用。

Prof. Dong Xuewen critisized Prof. Zhu Liyuan＇s practical ontology as aesthetics in his papers recently. He thought that Marxism is a kind of material ontology other than practical ontology. If practice is regarded as ousia, material wouldn＇t be thought as the base of Marxism. This point of view neglected the inner essence of Marx＇s revolution in philosophy. Basically, Marxism should be thought as practical ontology that recognizes the priority of nature, and sticks to the decisiveness of economy.
