A Comparative Study Of Markovic And Kosik's Dialectic Thinking

Dialectics is always an important issue in field of philosophy research,and Marx?s Dialectics plays an important role in the history of dialectics because of its critical,revolutionary and practical characteristics.Since Lukács,a representative of the western Marx thinkers,reiterated the importance of Marx?s Dialectics,many Marxist thinkers tried to re-interpreted Marx?s Dialectics.Markovi? and Kosík,the thinkers of Eastern European Neo-Marxism,all made creative interpretions with the Marx?s Dialectics.The dialectical thoughts of the two people have their own forms of expression in the aspects of logic process,essence,constitution,function,critical dimensions,theoretical demand,contemporary enlightenment and so on.Briefly speaking,criticizing Lukács is the logic starting point of Markovi??s dialectics,and he uses anthropology as the logical hypothesis and integrality as the key category.Ultimately,humanism is logic aim of his dialectics.The essence of Markovi??s humanitarian dialectics is regarding dialectics as a critical thinking in favor of applying the dialectics to social criticism and seeking ‘ man?s self-actualizition in history'.Nevertheless,the logic starting point of Kosík?s dialectics is criticizing ‘thing-in-itself' and the logical hypothesis is practice,meanwhile he regards reality as the key category and the unity of concrete and totality as logic aim.Kosík considers that dialectics is a concrete and total reality,so his dialectical thoughts are known as the dialectics of concrete and totality.Kosík criticizes critique of dialectical reason and seeks ‘the relationship between man and the world' by his dialectics.At the same time,Markovi? and Kosík?s dialectical thoughts also have intrinsic consistency: the two people all fiercely criticize the doctrinaire understanding of Marxism and attach importance to the critical function of dialecticsand.More than that,they also emphasize that the attribute of dialectics is humanism and the essence of dialectics is practice.Especially in the theoretical demands,the two people commit themselves to offering suggestions for Eastern European socialist countries,invigorating the development of Marxism,searching for the solution of mankind being free from the plight of existence by way of interpreting Marx?s Dialectics locally and creatively.Among many Marxist dialectical thoughts,Markovi? and Kosík?s dialectical thoughts develop a school of their own.The uniqueness,on the one hand,comes from the profound Marxist philosophical foundation of the two,on the other hand comes from the certain social and historical conditions in Eastern Europe and the unique national cultural spirit of Eastern Europe.Markovi? and Kosík?s dialectical thoughts reflect that the Marxsit thinker of Eastern Europe have a unique theoretical perspective and deep humanitarian feelings,and the dialectical thoughts also manifest Mraxism?s strong and inner vitality.
