Species Philosophy As An Ontology Theory

Since modern times,philosophy has focused on "man".Based on "the possibility of human liberation",Marx constructed a "new world view" which is different from all the old philosophies.There are two ways in the reflection of human nature in Marx’s philosophy: one is the logic of scientific thinking and the other one is the logic of the concept of human nature.The intersection of these two ways is mainly reflected in Das Kapital.On the one hand,Marx made a scientific analysis of human nature from production,division of labor,exchange,social and economic forms and other angles.On the other hand,Marx also has made a reflection on logic of the concept of human nature from the perspective of alienation labor,surplus value theory and other angles.Species philosophy of Gao Qinghai highlights the logic of the concept of human nature in Marx’s philosophy.Starting from the dialectics of life and combining with Marx’s three forms of human history,Gao Qinghai proposed the development process of human nature from collective standard to individual standard to species standard.Species philosophy of Gao Qinghai is the continuation of Marx’s "ontological revolution",at the same time,Species philosophy of Gao Qinghai also provides the complete concept of human nature support for Marx’s "ontology".Modern western philosophy began to build its own philosophical system by rejecting traditional ontology thinking mode,but the theoretical transformation did not lead to the corresponding transformation of people’s thinking mode.Gao Qinghai believes that the traditional ontological way of thinking is the predetermined way of thinking.Because of the thinking mode of rejection of contradiction and non-black and white way has occupied people’s minds for a long time,people could not really grasp the essence of human characteristics.The theoretical defect of modern philosophy is that there is not a new logic of the concept of human nature to counteract the traditional way of thinking of species.In the theory of "species philosophy",by using the concept of "the species" as the principle of human nature against the traditional way of thinking of species,Gao Qinghai has interpreted his own unique ontology theory.His ontology theory is mainly formed in the theory of "species philosophy",which mainly includes the following aspects: firstly,he demonstrated the basis of why people become human beings from the perspective of "species nature".Secondly,he analyzed the ultimate pursuit of "real society" from the perspective of "species relationship".Thirdly,he described the ultimate value orientation of future philosophy from the perspective of "species ideal".This paper elaborates the ontological theory of Gao Qinghai from three perspectives: "species nature","species relationship" and "species ideal".
