On The Philosophical Implication Of Marx's Method Of Advancing From The Abstract To The Concrete

In the introduction of the "criticism of political economics",Marx,summing up the history of economic theory,found that when people study a certain country from the political economy,there will be two roads,that is,two methods.The first method is the method from the concrete to the abstract,which is from the real and concrete,from the reality of the beginning,for example,from the start of the population,analyzing of currency,value,etc..The second way is from the abstract to the concrete method,from the abstract,simple element to start,progress to the complex,the specific relationship.Marx directly affirms that the second methods is "scientific and correct methods".The method from the abstract to the concrete not only has the methodology implication,but also has the philosophy implication.In methodology,from the abstract to the concrete is a link of dialectics,from the concrete to the abstract constitute the dialectical method of another essential link.Dialectics is only seen as a method.From the abstract to the concrete is the logic method,it is the logic method of people's dialogue.When using this method,we need to grasp the direct and simple nature of the abstract as the starting point.In epistemology,from the abstract to the specific performance of the active reflection.Abstract(as a noun)is not a random structure,but a reflection of reality;it is a reflection of a certain aspect of reality.Marx's abstract is in the post,is the result of history,the performance of a reflection,rather than an intuitive reflection,which is reflected in the initiative.In ontology,the abstract representation of a specific aspect,concrete is the overall.The abstract and concrete refers to the reality,not the category.At the same time,Marx thought that the result of the reality is the historical development and the reality has its history.Therefore,the abstract is just a manifestation of the historical results,not in the minds of people figment.Historical results become the basis of abstract.In reality,from the abstract to the concrete is from simple to complex.The history of the development in a certain extent,shows a trend from simple to complex.
