What is Marx's view of practice?

Marxist view of practice holds that practice is the source of cognition, the fundamental driving force for the development of cognition, and the only criterion to test whether cognition is correct or not. The relationship between practice and cognition is dialectical unity, practice determines cognition, and cognition has great reaction to practice. Correct scientific understanding promotes the development of practice, while wrong understanding hinders the development of practice. Knowledge should be improved with the development of practice.

Marxist view of practice requires us: to solve problems and do things, we must adhere to the principle of practice first, deepen, improve and develop our understanding in practice. Insist on coming from practice, going from practice, deeply understanding the masses, and proceeding from the practice of China's social and economic development, correctly handle socialist construction and solve various social contradictions.

Connotation of Marxist view of practice

First of all, Marxist philosophy understands practice as the objective activity of human beings. Marx believes that man is an objective existence, practice is the externalization of man's essential strength, and the essence of practice is the objectification of man's essence.

Marxist philosophy opposes both the intuition and one-sidedness of old materialism and the abstraction and speculation of idealism. It requires understanding "object, reality and sensibility" including industrial history and technology from the aspects of practice and human perceptual activities.

Therefore, practice is a realistic, concrete and material force to change the world. However, western traditional philosophy only understands practice from the perspective of ethics and regards practice as a non-objective activity. Its so-called practice is only a practical reason, not realistic, concrete or material.

For example, based on the values of virtue and kindness, Aristotle understands practice as the ethical behavior of people's daily social life, especially political life; Kant believes that practice is rational will freedom and moral freedom.
