ABSTRACT

In Hegel's speculative philosophy, thinking, as the first existence, is the unity of opposites between the thinking subject and its own alienation. This speculative unity is manifested not only in the unity of opposites between thinking and the alienation of thinking as nature, but also in the unity of opposites between thinking and itself established in itself by negating nature. Such unity is the speculative unity of thinking. This speculative unity not only makes the perceptual, realistic, concrete and practical nature and the world the external conceptual expression of the thinking movement, but also makes the perceptual, dynamic, concrete and practical people the abstract thinking itself without "flesh and blood". Marx's philosophy criticizes such abstract and empty nature and abstract and metaphysical man, and advocates realistic, perceptual and concrete man and nature, that is, practical nature and practical man. In Marxist philosophy, as the subject of realistic perceptual activities, man is not only in the unity of opposites with nature, but also in the unity of opposites with others. Practice has become the noumenon of the unity of opposites between man and nature and between man and society. Therefore, based on the viewpoint of practice, Marxist philosophy recognizes the unity of opposites between man and the world and opposes the speculative unity of opposites between man and the world in Hegel's philosophy.
