Try to describe the difference between Marxist epistemology and the old philosophical epistemology.

The viewpoint of practice is the primary basic viewpoint of Marxist epistemology. On the basis of practice, Marxist epistemology adheres to the principle of reflection theory and makes a clear distinction with idealism. The theory of reflection is developed into a dynamic theory of reflection which overcomes the limitation of mechanical materialism.

Dialectical materialism insists on the theory of reflection, advocates that the content of cognition comes from the objective world, and opposes the idealist empiricism.

The Marxist epistemology adheres to the scientific knowability based on practice and opposes all agnosticism.

Although the old materialism adhered to the general principle of reflection, it left practice and regarded the subject of knowledge as a biological being, and the subject-knower passively and passively accepted external stimuli. The Marxist epistemology overcomes the mechanism and intuitiveness of the old materialism and develops the theory of reflection into a dynamic theory of reflection.

Why is the point of view of practice the primary and fundamental point of view of Marxist epistemology?

According to Marxism, practice is the basis of cognition and plays a decisive role in cognition.

First of all, practice is the source of knowledge. The occurrence of knowledge cannot be separated from practice. If people want to obtain true knowledge, they must participate in practice, gain experience from practice, and then rise to theory.

Secondly, practice is the driving force of cognitive development. It constantly creates new cognitive tools, puts forward new questions, improves people's thinking ability, deepens the depth and breadth of people's understanding of the world, and promotes the continuous development of cognition.

Thirdly, practice is the ultimate goal of cognition. Any scientific theory or knowledge, once separated from the purpose of serving practice, will lose its meaning.

Finally, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth of cognition.

From these aspects, we can see that the practical point of view is the primary and basic point of Marxist epistemology.
