Perceptual Concepts In Marxist Philosophy

The philosophy revolution started by Karl Marx took sensual liberation as its new task. Actually, the core of the thought on sensibility in "Thesen uber Feuerbach" is sensual liberation. This topic could be found everywhere in Marx’s thought:the "communism" in Paris Manuscripts and The Germany Ideology, the "free development of each" in Declaration of Communist Party, and so on. In Marx’s eyes, the sensibility only can be thought as "the activities of sensual human beings", as "objective activity", or "Practice". In this condition, sensual liberation equals to human liberation.In fact, the development of productivity and social revolution are two real paths to sensual liberation. The development of productivity is very important. Marx’ theory started from actual individuals, and understand Being as "their actual living process", that is to content human sensual needs. In this meaning, we could understand the importance of living material and the importance of productive labor. So, the improvement of productivity is basic method. On the other hand, social revolution is also very important. The Privateigentum developed into its highest form. In this condition, someone becomes very rich, while the other part of the society becomes very poor. This condition only can be changed by social revolution.Marx’s concept of revolution mainly means communism revolution. This kind of revolution specially means social revolution.The mataphisics also took sensibility and freedom as its important content. However, It just concerns the sensibility as character of object, and the freedom only to be understand as rational activity. While in the horizon of contemporary philosophy, human living condition becomes a very important topic, in its very mean, that is a question on sensual liberty. In this horizon, we can easily find the importance of sensibility theory of Karl Marx.
