Abstract

In order to understand the basic attitude and view of Marxist philosophy on Ontology,we must make an effort to explore the 'meta-question' beyond ontology and involved in understanding instead of starting u the system in a direct way.Ontology expressed in western languages is different from the usual terms of 'Theory of Principle' 'Theory of Substance' and 'Theory of Essence' and it is a special kind of metaphysics.It should not be misinterpreted through taking it too literally,but it should be abstracted on the basis of solid examination of existing researches into Ontology.Marxist philosophy deals with issues of traditional ontology while transcending it in affirming the significance of practice in ontology,which can't be generalized as 'Practical Ontology'.
