We can understand production in the economics, anthropology and biology fields. But these explanations are abstract prescript in the framework of category thought. Thus they envelop production's ontological base. Martin Heidergger points out: "the analysis of Dasein is in the front of the analysis of psychics, anthropology, say nothing of biology." Marx's production is the same as Heidergger's Dasein in the ontological base. Marx exceeds rationalistic metaphysics and Political Economy, and realizes the ontological transform of production. When Political Economy only sees wealth production, Marx sees vital production and life production. When Hegel considers production is dissimilation of self-awareness and dissimilation overcome, Marx exposes the interior aspect of consciousness and reveals the ontological base of production as sensuous activity. Marx ascribes the foundation of history to production and establishes Historical Materialism. So, it is necessary to discuss production from the ontological essence. It is an appropriate point to comprehend Marx's revolution in philosophy and its contemporary significance. The author wants to deeply discuss production from the ontological base in the dissertation. In the Marx's whole texts, Marx does not simply rest on the economics or anthropology fields, but considers the ontological significance of production to humankind subsistence and historical development. In The Economics and Philosophic Manuscript of 1844, Marx criticizes Hegel's philosophy and Political Economy, and form the great thought that sensuous activity produce relations of production. In The Feurerbach's Syllabus, The German Ideology, and The Communist Party Pronouncement, Marx further illustrates the ontological base of production, and makes production as the foundation of history. Thus the root of history is based on the production of life. History is not logic, idealistic production, but sensuous activity. In the Capital: A Critique Political Economy and The Economic manuscript of 1857-1858, Marx does not stop in the abstract logic of capital production, he criticize capitalism production from the ontological essence. He reveals the history, essence and limits of capital. Marx clarifies temporality of capitalism relations of production and inevitability of communism. Production as sensuous activity, it has creativity. Production is not only production of matter living resource, but also production of people's sensuous life, life being and social relation. Marx's production is the change of world, which is embodied in the profundity and criticism of production. Marx reveals genuine factwrapped and distorted and oblivious being. Thus he reveals the ontological significance of historical development, and illustrates a new world at the same time in during of criticizing the old world.
