At present there are much discussion about the character of Marxist philosophy. An outstangding view is that mordem western philosophy defines it as a theory of human value rather than a scientific and revolutionary methodology. As a result Marxist of philosophy is not used to conduct researches of practical matters but became a abstract preching. However, the requirement of theory about chinese practice forces us to return to Marx again, to persist and develop dialectica materialism, which is the core of Marist philosophy. To do this, at first we must clearly recognize the difference and contact between Hegel's dialectica idealism and dialectica materialism.According to traditional views, dialectica materilism was the reversion of Hegal's dialectica idealism, and Hegal's conservative philosophic system stifled his dialectic which wai the important reason of his conservative conclusion on political affairs. That is to say, they were not natural difference in methodology. However, we can have a result through researches that dialectica materialism and dialectica idealism have great difference not only in base of world view but also in content of mothodology. Hegal's concertive system-philosophy and political conclusion were producted by his dialectical limitations. The view is also the creation of this paper.The transfer from ontoIo~y to epistemology in philosophy which follows capitalistic produstion constructed the theory premise of emerging of Hegal's dialectic. By his direct aim. Hegul's dialectic was used to ~lea1 with ognosticism which was producted by dualism of Kant philosophy. Kant considered that we must research critically out faculty of knowledge before knowing activity, so as to determine wether it could bear the task demanded by ourselves -gasping firmly absolute truth. He divided human faculty of knowing into sense, perception and reason. He came to a conclusion through reseaching one by one that people can not know the thing-in-itself. Hegel considered that Kant's method wasn't right. This is to say, he should not research congnition basing it on the segregation of object and subject, but believed that reason is the common nature of object and subject, at the same time, he should see the substance as subject, and obtain the absolutive truth following it branching out. Hegel's dialectic was the method and result of this reseach. In fact he pointed out the form of absolutive truth which is from abstract to concreting or negation of the netgation, which reflected his unity of method and ontology.According to the reseach of Hegel's "small logic" we find that Hegel's dialectics only describles the outside form of object, not the nature of object as well as the logic form of developping reason. It means that in fact it is a failure to try to use dialectics to translete Kant's agnosticism. Because dealing with agnosticism must be based on the activity of revolutionary practice, which theory premise is about the logic form of object's nature or it is experience judgement by blind. So Hegel only took one hypothesis instead of another. And what he provided to us was only logic of phenomenon, not recognizing clearly the real resaon behind the phomenon.The limition of Hegel's dialectics shows that he only notices the continuation in time, and negelect the co-existence in space, and dialectics is only a descriptive tool here. So we can see that it's not far enough ot change the base of diatectics from idealism to materialism. Beause we only geta outside description in form from this. When Hegel's reseached objects in this way, although he guessed that objects would negate itself, he only came to a conservative conclusion for not finding the reason of thing's development. It's caused by his absence of reseach of developping and his idealsm position.On the contrazy Marx inherited and developped Hegel's dialectics and created sciential and revolutionary methodology-dialectical materialism, through the reseach of capitilize and political economy. It was not only based on the development in time b...
