On The Thought Of "Realistic Individual" In German Ideology

In the process of the development of Marx’s philosophy,the problem of man has always been the focus of Marx’s attention.Throughout the development of Marx’s human studies,its definition of human has experienced a development process from imperfect to perfect.Starting from the theory that atoms deviate from a straight line and deviating movement is used as a starting point to explore the initiative of human beings,to starting from the real world,to explore specific personal concepts by thinking about the relationship between civil society and the state,then through the analysis and investigation of the real economic life of capitalism,starting from labor to explain the nature of human characteristics,and finally formed the "realistic individual" thought in German Ideology.It can be said that German Ideology occupies an extremely important position in the process of the development of Marx’s human studies.In this book,Marx criticizes the humanist thought of German classical philosophers represented by Feuerbach,and realizes that only starting from the real world and sensuous activities can we really know and understand human beings,thus putting forward the thought of "realistic individual".Although philosophers after Marx have developed and interpreted this thought to varying degrees,there are some misunderstandings and distortions about Marx’s "realistic individual" thought in this process.Re-interpreting the thoughts of "realistic individuals" helps us get out of the mist of misunderstanding and provides a new way of thinking.In Marx’s view,existence is sensuous activity.From this point of view,the "real individual" is an individual who is in a specific historical environment,engaged in specific perceptual activities,and has various relationships with others,and is a person with a true historical relationship.Such people must follow history and reality and correspond to specific things in history.We can describe this kind of "realistic individual" in the external time,but if we want to really understand it,we must return to the concrete historical relationship and restore it to the real concrete individual.Reorganizing the "realistic individual" thought will help us to open up a new path for the study of Marx’s humanistic thought,surpass the German classical humanistic theory,and enrich the content of Marxist historical materialism.It is helpful for us to get rid of the misunderstanding of the interpretation of "realistic individual" thought,get rid of the shackles of intellectual thinking,clarify the research results of "realistic individual" thought,and better guide the practical practice;it is helpful for us to rethink the relationship between ourselves and others,and realize the harmonious coexistence between people.
