Observing The Two Basic Features Of Mao Zedong’s Philosophical Thought From Theperspective Of Western Philosophy

Marxist philosophy has developed from the foundation of Western philosophical tradition and is a materialist world outlook based on social reality and practice.It analyzes and criticizes the traditional dichotomy of the Western philosophical tradition,the metaphysics of speculation,and the tradition of logocentrism,and establishes a scientific practice category.Marxist philosophy overcomes the shortcomings of traditional philosophy epistemology and lays the foundation of knowledge on the basis of scientific practice.It is the chief viewpoint of Marxist philosophy.Mao Zedong’s philosophical thinking has absorbed the essence of the practice of Marxist philosophy and is a summary and development of the practical experience of Marxist philosophy in China.The conceptual analysis and theoretical thinking of the Western philosophical tradition aims at seeking knowledge.This philosophical epistemology not only cuts off the connection between cognition and practice,but also tends to cause fossilization and dogma.Mao Zedong’s philosophical thinking has linked Marxist thought with understanding and practice.He believes that practice is the source of knowledge,and its anti-Western tradition reflects the practical characteristics of Mao Zedong’s philosophy.At the same time,Mao Zedong Thought also absorbed Chinese philosophical culture.It is an organic fusion of Chinese and Western cultures and reflects its assimilation characteristics.This article is divided into four parts,starting from the traditional history of philosophy in the West,narrative history of philosophy,and analyzing the differences between Mao Zedong’s philosophy and its practical and assimilation characteristics.In the first part,the philosophical tradition of the West is used to explain the world’s theoretical philosophy.It is mainly divided into two phases: the ancient Greek philosophy tradition and the modern Western philosophy.Starting from the natural philosophy of ancient Greece,the issue of "world originality" was explored and various kinds of doctrines emerged.Over and over again,despite a long-term developmentprocess,the content still revolves around ontological narratives.From the development of modern theoretical philosophy,there has been a famous shift in the history of philosophy to the “epistemological turn”.This period of philosophy began to explain the world from the perspective of epistemology,embedding ontology into epistemology.In the second part,it mainly describes the main contents of Mao Zedong Thought and its formation process.The use of Marxist theory to explore the Chinese revolutionary roads,summed up the experience and lessons learned in the different stages of the revolution.Opposing opposition to the book of origin and copying the experience of the Soviet Union,we should proceed from the actual situation of China to link theory with practice and use the Marxist-Leninist theory correctly.It is also in this long and tortuous revolution that Mao Zedong has extracted the dialectical materialist contradiction and epistemology of his philosophy.In the third part,he narrates the practical features of Mao Zedong’s philosophical thoughts,including his understanding of the role of practice status,his understanding of the dialectical relationship between practice and knowledge,and the universality of the contradictions and the principle of dialectical relations of particularity summarized in the revolutionary practice.In the end,this article elaborated on the assimilation characteristics of Mao Zedong’s philosophical thoughts,mainly discussed in two aspects.One was to reflect on Marxist philosophical theories and western philosophical thoughts from the perspective of practice,and the other was to understand from the perspective of China’s inherent philosophical resources.From the perspective of practice,reflecting Marxist philosophy theory and Western philosophy,we can see that Mao Zedong developed the Marxist view of practice.He clarified the essence of the contradictions and the fundamental viewpoints of specific analysis of specific issues,revealed the specific and historical unifying principles of theory and practice,and abandoned empirical theory and rationalism.From the analysis of China’s traditional philosophical resources,it can be seen that Mao Zedong’s philosophical thoughts were based on the philosophical thoughts of traditional Chinese knowledge and practice to understand Marxist theory.
