The Cover of Marx’s Philosophical Revolution by the Word “Reversal”

The word “reversal”often appears, but it is just a kind of metaphor. It will not only fail to solve any problems, but also cover the significance of the revolution of Marx’s philosophy. The so-called “materialism reversal”is not meaning of reversing the general idealism for the general materialism usually, merely meaning of reversing the historical idealism for the historical materialism. The so-called “dialectical reversal”is also built on the basis of historical idealism rather than general idealism. The “metaphysical reversal”is still in metaphysics, philosophy of Marx implements a fundamental change of metaphysics, and it is not reversed simply. The common characteristic of these “reversals”is easy to ignore the standpoint of Marx’s “reversing”, that is the people’s life world and their practical activities, and then to ignore Marx's demands on the real social changes.
