Views On Marx's Philosophical Revolution From The Plight Of Kant's Copernican Revolution

The central intention of this article is through an in-depth inquiry of Kant's Copernican revolution and an analysis of the difficulties contained in it to further demonstrate the implication of Marx's philosophical revolution.The paper is divided into three parts. The first part is mainly through an analysis of the characteristics of traditional metaphysics and then shows the related background of Kant's Copernican revolution. Further more, and make an exploration of the motivation and the opportunity raised by Copernican revolution. It is concluded that: on the surface, Kant's Copernican revolution is a direct response to the dilemma of the two major factions, which are Empiricism and Rationalism of modern metaphysics; Basically, Kant's Copernican revolution is to solve the contradictions and problems inherent in metaphysics.The second part of Kant's Copernican revolution turns to the analysis, which is mainly explained from the following aspects: content, essence and dilemma. Kant begins his analysis with the binary of thing and phenomenon. Through criticizing the perceptual ability, Kant ultimately takes"transcendental freedom"as the destination and suspension to achieve the metaphysic"Copernican revolution". The mode of Copernican revolution, which is"Man-made law for nature", not only fully demonstrates the initiative in human being's knowledge construction, but also provides a profound argument of human freedom with its deep implication."Priori conceptual"makes the"reality of experience"to be possible, although it highlights people's initiative, ultimately it is guaranteed by"transcendental theology"; and the subversion the sensuous world, which the traditional metaphysics has abandoned, it is completed by the pursuing of prior self-awareness. This constitutes the dilemma of Kant's Copernican revolution.The task of the solution and surpassing to this dilemma is completed by Marx's philosophical revolution, which constitutes the third part. Marx accomplished this task from the following three parts. Firstly, the completion of revolution in the way of thinking, which goes beyond the traditional philosophy of Kant, which is including the speculative way of thinking; secondly, the completion of the fundamental transition and surpassing in the theoretical dimension of; thirdly, the completion of fundamental changes in function of philosophy, enabling the reality advancing from the interpretation of the world to the changing of the world.
