Abstract:

Song Wei' s "The Philosophical Basis of Marxist Aesthetics and Its Understanding of the Time: An Argument about the Debate on the 'Aesthetics of Practical Existence'", in order to retort Mr. Dong Xuewen' s arguments, twists the "thoroughgoing materialism of monism" into the "Marxism of former Soviet mode". This saying has a lot of theoretical loopholes. Marxist philosophical foundation is dialectical materialism, historical materialism and practical materialism. And practice must be divided into idealism and materialism, and into dialectics and metaphysics. As one of the creators of existentialism, Heidegger has a political identity of the key figure of the Nazi. He wants to guide Hitler as the fascist leader in philosophy and agitates for, by war, winning over the "British and American democracies" and the "Russian communism". He advocates using metaphysics to support the battles for governing the world. He publicizes Nazi' s ideology and etatism. Mr. Song Wei asserts that Marx should have a metaphysical dialogue and integration with Heidegger. Judging from the theory, we hold that Heidegger doesn' t entitle and also doesn' t match to have a dialogue and integration with Marx. The wheel of history rolls on. We insist on and develop Marxism. We put forward the scientific concept of development. We can' t tolerate Heidegger' s "metaphysical rewriting" Marx' s philosophy.

Key words: Marxist aesthetics; Marxist philosophy; existentialism; Heidegger
