Who said practice is the basis of understanding?

From the first volume of the third volume of "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels" - "Theses on Feuerbach", the relevant content of the original text is as follows:

1. Chapter 7: Therefore, Feuerbach failed to see that religious feelings themselves are the product of society, and that the abstract individuals he analyzed actually belong to certain social forms.

2. Chapter 8: All social life is practical in nature. All mysterious things that lead theory to mysticism can be reasonably solved in human practice and the understanding of this practice.

3. Chapter 9: Intuitive materialism, that is, materialism that does not understand perceptual activities as practical activities, can only be intuitive to individual people and civil society.

4. Chapter 10: The foothold of old materialism is civil society, while the foothold of new materialism is human society or human beings in society.

5. Chapter 11: Philosophers just explain the world in different ways, but the problem is to change the world.

The importance of the "Outline"

The great significance of the "Outline" is first of all that it establishes a scientific view of practice, thus laying the foundation for historical materialism and even a new scientific world view - Marx The philosophy of Marxism provides a point of growth and a foothold. The practical point of view is the most basic and primary point of view of historical materialism.

It is precisely based on the scientific practical perspective that Marx profoundly revealed the practical nature of social life in the "Theses", scientifically explained the social nature of human beings, and correctly explained that social practice is historical development motivation. It was also on the basis of the scientific view of practice that Marx correctly solved the basic problem of the view of history, and then clarified the basic position and decisive significance of practice in epistemology.
