In the end of 20th century, the fall of socialist camps caused by the social upheaval in Eastern European and Soviet Union was the most challenge for the Marxism. Some thinkers from western countries asserted that Marxism had dead, and his theory and socialism practice had ended. Some so-called Marxist also began to join the procession of opposing the Marxism. Marxism withstood the dual test from theory and practice. Marxism Philosophy seems slide to the edge of human history from the centre.A short silence, soon, many Marxism researchers began to defend for Marxism from scholar's conscience. They not only saw the huge pressure from the victory of Capitalism, but also they found that the ideal freedom domestic system had not achieved, and is in crisis even in disaster. They realizes fundamentally: we can not have no Marx; and without Marx we will not have a future."Marx's Specters", written by Derrida, is a book devoted for defend for Marxism. He analyzed that Marxism had not gone far away from us, but just with us. The critical spirit of Marxism has important values for the urgency of the Time and the analysis for modern capital society. Derrida gave a heavily strike for the people who asserted the end of Marxism in defence of Marx.When we appreciated Derrida, we found that he, as a master of deconstruction theory, is not faithful to Marxism, completely and unconditionally; but drew close to Marxism limitedly and restrainedly. He deconstructed Marxism under the names of defending for Marx. He differed Marxism to now and promoted to the future, with his deconstructed logic, and advanced the development of Marxism from past to future, from scientific socialism to utopian socialism. No doubt, there has been no shortage of insightful analyses in his reading of Marx. But how did he evolve the realistic Marxism to unfeasible utopian fantasy? Is it the inevitable result from Derrida's logic or the result from the development of theory and practice of Marxism? If surveyed Derrida's deconstruction comprehensively, we could find that Derrida's deconstruction was not the inevitable result for development of Marxism Philosophy but for inner logical development of Derrida's deconstruction, because he was not faithful to the way of practical thinking of Marxism.Based on deeply researching Derrida's theory, this paper reconsidered some questions: as Marxist, how we should inherit the way of practical thinking of Marx; how we should meet the problems which appeared in the process of Marxism development; and how we should solve realistic questions with the way of practical thinking of Marx and advance Marxism in reality.To answer these questions, we needed to grasp scientific meaning, characteristics and transformation of philosophy of the way of practical thinking. On the basis, reviewing the setback in the development of Marxism philosophy can instruct the development of Marxism right now. It is the permanent viewpoint of analyzing and solving questions to base on the way of practical thinking. The practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the base for development of Marxism. It is true meaning for Sinicization Marxism to solve realistic questions in China in the way of practical thinking; at the same time, it is the only way for scientific development of Marxism philosophy.
