The Historical Reason Based on Practice——On Larrain's Reinterpretation of Marxism's Theory of Practice

Since the Second International, the theory of Historical materialism has faced the problem of dogmatism. Western Marxism reinterprets Historical materialism through the concept of practice, but it is easy to fall into the problem of empty historical view due to the lack of "clear rationality". Larrain attempted to solve these two problems by reinterpreting Marx's practical theory, and the core of the problem lies in whether there exists a universal historical reason as a general theory based on practice. By clarifying the concept of practice; by demonstrating the reliability of Historical materialism as a general theory; by analyzing the principles of historical reason generated in practice; and by distinguishing between Marx's two forms of practice, the practice of alienation and the practice of emancipation, Larrain criticized the historical rational logic in the transcendental practice view and confirmed the generative logic of historical reason based on practice.
