Abstract

Marx regarded the practice of human’s free and conscious activities as a "species characteristic" which departs human from other things, and put forward the view that man is a " species nature", which finds a unified basis for the multiple contradictions of human existence. By relief human from traditional philosophy’s shackle of “Abstract subject”, The idea of "human being-like existence" based on practice restores the "subjectivity" to the real human being itself, and goes beyond the way that ancient philosophy regards man as an appendage of "sanctified subjects” and the Abstract interpretation of modern philosophy to regard man as an isolated " Monad individual". Marx's thought of human “species being" realized the dialectical unity of human and nature, human and itself, and human and society, and raised the philosophical perspective of human’s existence to a new historical height, it also has a very important guiding significance and reference value for the development of contemporary Chinese society.
