From this, Wittgenstein opened the analytical philosophy and the linguistic philosophy two research directions successively, simultaneously has had the profound influence to logical empiricism and post-modernist.Marx and Engels had established the materialistic practical language view as the founder of Marxist philosophy. In opposition to idealistic language view of German classical philosophy represented as Hegel, they believed that, the language is the symbolism which forms in the practice foundation and one kind of social communication behavior. Language produced from humanity's practice, and historically developed with human practice of objectification and communication. The practice had decided the language and the thought, and the language and the thought are interdependent and interacting in the practice foundation. The language is the direct reality of thought, and important way of human socialization, the process of studying and using language is the course of human socialization. The language sociality and human socialization is inseparable.Marx and Wittgenstein as the terminator of Western philosophical tradition.
