A Comparison Study On The View Of Knowledge And Practice Between Mao Zedong And Sun Yat-sen

Mao Zedong and Sun yat-sen, these two great men, hold the different view of knowledge and practice. And the form of such difference is closely related to their own particular social and historical conditions, cultural knowledge background, personal comprehensive quality and the revolutionary struggle experiences. Also, the difference results in the different results of the revolution they lead. Sun yat-sen inherites and develops the Chinese traditional materialist view that "practice in front and knowledge in the rear", and consequently puts forward his theory that "knowledge is more difficult than practice". While through bringing the dialectical materialist theory of practice into his theory of knowledge, and integrating some characteristics of the development of Chinese revolution, such as class and nationality, Mao Zedong scientifically solves the relationship between knowledge and practice. The view of knowledge and practice between Mao Zedong and Sun yat-sen consists of such characteristics as practicality, innovation, class and nationality. At the same time, both have historical limitations, namely, Sun's theory that "knowledge is more difficult than practice" has the colour of dualism, while Mao's view of knowledge and practice overstating the role of class struggle. As a result, enhancing the comparison study on the view of knowledge and practice between these two great men, and discarding their such idea, are of great importance in scientifically treating Chinese and foreign culture, keeping pace with The Times, exploring the concept of contemporary Chinese view of knowledge and practice, as well as deepening the research of the sinicization of marxist philosophy.
