Marxist philosophy, as the doctrine of proletariat and human beings’ liberation—seeking for freedom, has been born for a hundred years. During these years, fields of the science, technology, social and cultural have undergone tremendous changes, which result in a series of methods, theories and ideas. We are facing the fourth technological revolution--the system of complexity, which is a new methodology and is also a new world model that the world’s drawings are showing in front of us.Trace to the origin, through the investigation of the ancient Greek philosophy and ancient Chinese respectively, it aims to get sprout of the ancient ideas of modern science in the system of complexity. This paper discusses the understanding focusing on uncertainty through the three-pronged approach:Firstly, it is about several phenomena in the understanding of the epistemological complexity system which generates uncertainty:the phenomenon of feedback, the emerging phenomenon, the chaotic phenomenon and the fractal similarity phenomenon. Secondly, use the motion of information as a starting point for the understanding of the complexity’s system for detailed analysis. Based on the analysis of information, the author narratives the structure and the understanding of the subject and object’s hierarchy’s multi-agency, and thus outline the complexity of knowledge and understanding of the mechanism of uncertainty. The uncertainty of complexity’s system is reflected by the interaction between the system of subject and object, the mutual influence and change. The main differences among the information structure, agency information structure and object information structure lead to the constraints of cognitive ability and the way of understanding of uncertainty of human knowledge. The cognitive ability includes receiving, storage and identification capability information. The way of understanding includes the form of receiving information, the main logical structure (cognitive structure) and tools for awareness. Their common restriction is the reason to promote the understanding of the results generated uncertainty. Finally, due to the uncertainty of knowledge, the knowledge is also uncertain. That makes us recognize the uncertainty of the world, as well as the security issues for survival.The epistemology of Marxist philosophy is our guiding ideology and scientific method of cognition. By re-interpretation of Marxist philosophy epistemology, it aims to find the uncertainty of understanding in the philosophy of Marxism epistemology. Marx, Engels and the classical writers on Marxist philosophy did not explicit the uncertainty of Marxist epistemology, but they agreed that it is necessary to grasp the essence of things and the objective laws in the process of understanding the infinite dialectical movement, whose reality reflection is--infinite loop of "practice, knowledge, again practice, and again knowledge......".By means of an intuitive and logical, it can be found that the inevitable uncertainty has been arisen from practice to the process of raising awareness,which need the further practice and recognize the truth in order to test knowledge, and judge the uncertainty.Compared the epistemological uncertainty phenomenon in the system of complexity with the mechanism of Marxist Philosophy Epistemology, it shows that Marxism epistemology and complexity of the system have the unity. Based on the system of complexity in the mechanism, the uncertainty of the system of complexity is the supplement and refinement of Marxist philosophy.The uncertainty of the system of complexity, is the supplement and refinement of Marxist philosophy, which conducive to strong the guiding role of Marxism philosophy continually, adhere to the results of the market economy in Marxist philosophy and play a greater important role in guiding the construction of the future.
