Ending "self-consciousness" with "perceptual consciousness":On Marx's concept of "perceptual consciousness"
The concept of "perceptual consciousness" is an important concept that cannot be ignored in Marx's philosophy. Feuerbach tried to refute Hegel's speculative philosophy with intuitive materialism,arguing that Hegel reduced the living human history to the development process of highly speculative self-consciousness. Marx absorbed the theoretical contribution of Feuerbach in philosophy,and at the same time made up for the inthoroughness of his philosophy,namely ignoring Hegel's dialectics and emphasizing the ontological status of perceptual intuition. Marx argued that history is the process of human perceptual activities,and consciousness is the product of human perceptual activities,thus dispelling the immanence of self-consciousness and making a clear distinction with the old materialism and speculative philosophy. It should be said that,Marx grasped the process of people's real life with "perceptual consciousness",which not only sublated "perceptual intuition",but also completely ended "self-consciousness".
