The question of the human nature occupies an important position in the history of philosophical development.Since the ancient Greek period,people have regarded the understanding of themselves as an important way to seek the truth.The answer to the human nature also constitutes the starting point for philosophers to explore the mysteries of history.Restricted by traditional ways of thinking,philosophers in the past not only failed to reveal the nature of human,but also failed to give scientific answers to the formation of human history.In "Theses on Feuerbach"(hereafter referred to as "Theses"),Marx revealed the reality and relationship of human nature through the human activities.Thus,he gave a scientific explanation and explanation to the formation and relationship between human and nature,the essence and solution of religion,the existence and development of society,etc.Therefore,the systematic presentation of Marx’s realistic thoughts on human nature has become an important subject to explore the transformation of Marx’s thinking paradigm and historical materialism.Marx’s new materialist philosophy endowed the concept of practice with new theoretical connotation based on the perceptual activities of human beings and changes the way of philosophical thinking from the theoretical premise.It pointed out that the existence of human should not only descend from the heaven to the earth,but also move from the object to the subject,and human is the subject of real activities.In perceptual activities,human beings can exert their own initiative and creativity to get the understanding of nature,grasp the laws of nature and create a perceptual world belonging to human.At the same time,in the objective practice,human beings constantly confirm themselves,acquire the characteristics of class,and constantly "socialize" in the physical labor.Therefore,human nature has a generative logic,and the sum of all social relations generated by people in practical activities constitutes the reality essence of man.Its reality lies in that it can either be a binding force that hinders people’s development or a promoting force that can realize people’s liberation,all of which depend on the nature of social relations.Marx found the key to decode all social history in the perceptual practice of human beings and scientifically answered the question of the motive force of human history development.Accordingly,Marx realized the transcendence of Feuerbach by criticizing and reforming Feuerbach’s essence thought along the path of materialism.In the field of thinking,the transformation of thought paradigm and the essence of human reality have important practical values to the contemporary social governance and institutional norms.
