On the Logical Starting Point of Marxist Theory of Ideology

Material living practice is the logical starting point of Marxist theory of ideology.Marx established a research path different from all the previous ideology by starting from the material living practice to explain the evolution of thought.By studying the material living practice in which real individuals are engaged from the view of history,Marx revealed the historical process in which the ideology is separated and alienated from the material practice;by reducing ideology to relations of production-the most basic relation in the material living practice,Marx expounded the scientific connotation of the concept of ideology.The ultimate result of Marxist theory of ideology is to abandon the falsity of the ideology by eliminating the production relations generated by the ideology,which will also resort to the material practice.
