It has gone through an evolutionary process from ＂extensive discussion about the criterion of truth＂ to ＂reform of philosophical textbooks＂; from the proposal of the philosophical conception of ＂practical materialism＂ to reflection on ＂modernity＂; and from the carrying-out of dialogues among Chinese, Western, and Marxist philosophies to the exploration of ＂new forms of civilization.＂ Chinese Marxist philosophy has shifted its way of doing research with practical materialism as a core conception, and it changed such modes of thinking as the intuitive theory of reflection based on naive realism, the theory of linear causality based on mechanical determinism, and the reductionism of essence based on abstract substantialism. As a result, it has boosted changes that were already underway in Chinese philosophy, worldviews, theories of truth, conceptions of history, and views of development, and it has further endowed the discourse system of Marxist philosophy with laudable subjectivity and originality.展开更多

After Descartes set contemporary metaphysics on its course, Feuerbach became the first to attack the essence of the supersensory world on an ontological level and to transfer the criticism of theology to that of metaphysics in general. While in the final analysis Feuerbach＇s criticism fails, Marx＇s revolution appeals to the ontological notion of ＂sensory activity＂ or ＂objective activity＂ （i.e., practice）, the core of which rests in piercing and overturning the fundamental framework of contemporary metaphysics--＂the immanence of consciousness.＂ It is this ontological revolution which reveals the camouflage of the supersensory world＇s mythology （i.e., ideology） and which simultaneously establishes a solid foundation for the critical analysis of the latter. Marx＇s ＂science of history＂ is based on this foundation and develops from it.展开更多
