The construction process of the main theory of Marxism starts from the criticism of the subject of self-awareness. Stirner is a critical role in prompting Marx and Engels'criticism on Feuerbach. After Ludwig Feuerbach had inveighed against the whole philosophy-metaphysics, Max Stirner again declared a war against philosophy-metaphysics, particularly aiming at Ludwig Feuerbach. So Marx sublimates the"German Ideology"through out the critic on Stirner. Marx regarded Stirner's philosophy as the sample of German philosophy after Hegel and criticized it. It is at this point that the total meaning of Marx's philosophical revolution reveals itself. This paper tries to make clear Marx's criticism of Max Stirner, and demonstrate this criticism is a key factor in the disintegration of the entire modern metaphysics. About two-third of"German Ideology"focuses on the criticism to Stirner and his"the Ego and Its Own", but in our research we do not pay due attention to this point. This main reason is that, since 1949, the social development of China has not faced the question raised by Stirner, and we have not experienced the effect of what that means to people in the plight of secularization. The main task of this paper is to expounded The Critique of Metaphysics of Marx and Stirner from the angles of the nature, the origin and the history of thoughts. This is an important theoretical significance for us to understand and grasp the philosophy of Marxism more practically.German Ideology is an important work by Marx and Engles. This paper tries to re-recognize the important meaning of how Marx founding historical materialism by Stirner, and what the direct impact on the formation of Marxist philosophy by interpreting"German Ideology"and Stirner's representative work"the Ego and Its Own". Marx had deeply exposed and criticized the thinking of Stirner in his landmark document"German Ideology"which is Marxist historical creational materialism. Then Marx point to a lot of important insights and accepted some of his views that were of epoch-making significance. Clear philosophy of Marxism and promote it by criticism and research of Stirner's idea. This paper is divided into four parts. The first part described the theoretical logic and research status of Stirner's philosophy in detail. Grasp a more comprehensive idea of Stirner though the analysis and comparison of studying on Stirner by domestic scholars. And further discusses the domestic academic made Stirner non-importance and its reasons. So we can't steer clear of Stirner and his representative work"the Ego and Its Own"when we researching the idea of Marx. In-depth study on whether the book"German Ideology", Marx and Engels on the philosophy of political and ideological development, or research Anarchism thinking of the emergence and development, such as young Hegelianism teams of their own, are of great significance. The second part anatomized the generation and theoretical connotation of"the ego and his own", and described Stirner's critique of metaphysics in his representative work"the Ego and Its Own". In this book, Stirner spread the absolute freedom to the extreme egoism and CD-I and"I think of nothing as the basis of my cause."According to the"the Ego and Its Own"had two parts. At the first part, the main stresses"person"is the logic of history, the shackles of the past era of logic. The second part is the logic of history that has been liberated, and now the era of struggle and overcome the logic of the present era. In order to achieve"the Ego"the creativity of the"I"is the only method. This part unfolds Stirner's critique of metaphysics as well as promoting Marx's philosophical revolution in"German Ideology"by studying"the Ego and Its Own". The third part analyzed profoundly Marx's criticism of Stirner, as well as Marx's"Realistic Individual"was born. Summed up the enlightenment of Marx and Engels'metaphysical critique by analyzing disillusionment of Stirner's"the ego and his own"and the difference between"the ego and his own"and"Realistic Individual". Despite ideal and ego centric individual as"the starting point and returning point"of Stirner's philosophy, realistic individual what Marx understood is the person engaging in the realistic perceptual material work, contacting with nature and other persons, while being restricted by practical condition. Apparently, the dispute between Stirner and Karl Marx is that: one appeals to an individual freedom through rejecting routine labor, and the other, which is usually treated as Marx's project, tries to correlate non-routine individual labor and the mass's saving-routine labor organically. Marx criticizes the wrong trend of frothy value impartment without considering concrete social and historical conditions. The fourth part points out the important influence on Marx by Stirner clearly. Marx and Engels created the materialist conception of history more systematic and comprehensive manner by criticism of Stirner. Become a real critical view of the world. Stirner played a key role in prompting Marx and Engels criticizing Feuerbach. It is the alert to improve Marx's philosophical inspiration. Marx's criticism to Stirner is the metaphysics all the criticism, and all the metaphysical for the end of Marxism is possible because of this criticism. It is obvious that Stirner had deeply impacted on the Marxist historical materialism.This paper is based on reading text. It based on available information, and tried to grasp the main elements of logic and theory of Stirner's representative work"the Ego and Its Own". At the same time, it refers to the scholars of the early years and the existing research results on Stirner. By multi-comparing the text, it finds the today's influence of that Stirner opposed to metaphysical idea of the nature. Overall, this is the theoretical point of view, definite Marx's critique on Stirner, analyze and excavate Stirner's meaning of today by combining the social and historical current status. This is an important theoretical significance for us to understand and grasp the philosophy of Marxism more practically.
