Marx's theory of the Need is more than importance to the Marx's philosophy, is a essential concept of Marx's Historical Materialism. Need is root of the historical movement in Marx's Historical Materialism, is the essence of human and closely related to Marx's concept of the Practice. Actually, all the Marx's philosophy is founded on the relationship of Practice and Need that the interaction and interdependence. What the development of this contradiction movement constitutes all of the historical materialism of Marx. Marxs Need with social, historical, dynamic, widely and diversity features, such as these characteristics of Marx's philosophy and these character keep a high consensus with Marx's Historical Materialism, is a natural extension of Marxs Historical Materialism.
