Preliminary Study On Marx's View Of Science

Somebody would ask: is it necessary to study Marx's view of science in our age characterized by advanced science and technology? Or, couldn't Marx's view of science be out-of-date as the developing of science? If they are the questions many people would have, then the viewpoint in this dissertation is opposite. We think that Marx's view of science is not only meaningful to the present age, but also the problem appearing completely just in our age. So, it's a problem related with the contemporary quality of Marx's thought. The key lies on where and how we start and carry out the work.Firstly, we think there're two clues inside Marx's view of science: one is his wholly thinking over science whose fruit could be summarized approximately by the thought of "one science"; and the other is his ideas and attitude about neoteric natural science expressed through his studying over the capitalism. Just corresponding, the context in which Marx expressed his view of science changed from philosophy to plutonomy. In the course of the founding of historical materialism, Marx has clearly thought what is the true science consciously and deeply. The thoughts of "one science" and that there's only one science which is history (but history could be studied through the different way of human history and natural science) showed Marx's view of science in this period clearly. And the study of natural science through the critique of plutonomy was the expanding of historical materialism and improving of Marx's early view of science.As the thought of "one science" is radically the expression of Marx's view of science by way of existentialism, it need be understood from the revolution to the base of ontology Marx carried. So, the dissertation is begun with the clarifying of ontology base of Marx's view of science, through which I explain the basic category of "sensibility". And by distinguishing the definition in neoteric western philosophy from Marx's, we show the completely different start when they used the same category. Neoteric philosophy talked about the function of sensibility to human in the field of epistemology and by way of intellectualism, which apposed sensibility to consciousness and made the problem of dualism. To solve the problem completely, Marx uncovered that sensibility is just the sensible, objective activity and revolutionary practice, on which he got the basic conclusion about science that sensibility is the base of all sciences. Moreover, Marx explained that the sensible base...
