The Discussion about Karl Popper's Poverty of"Anti-Essentialism"and it's Pealistis Critique
Popper put forward"anti-essentialism"in order to criticize Marx's historic determinism,which deconstructed people's belief in Marxism and socialism to a certain extent.From the point of view of argument-grounds of argument-demonstration,his criti-cism of Marxism is incorrect.First,Popper's argument is based on a simple formal logic rather than a relatively high-level and compli-cated dialectical logic;second,Popper's grounds of argument fails to grasp and explain the essence of historical development from the dialectical relationship between man and society;third,Popper's demonstration remains at the surface level of the problem,not deep into the root and source of the problem.In addition,the historical process and achievements of social revolution in modern and contem-porary China are the best realistic response to criticize Popper's"anti-essentialism",which can not only prove that Marxism is a scien-tific methodology to understand and transform the world,but also help us to be more confident and unswervingly follow the path of Chi-nese path to modernization.
