The Marxist view of practice believes that practice is the source of knowledge, the fundamental driving force for the development of knowledge, and the only criterion for testing whether knowledge is correct. Practice and knowledge have a dialectical and unified relationship. Practice determines knowledge, and knowledge has a huge reaction on practice. Correct scientific understanding promotes the development of practice, while wrong understanding hinders the development of practice. Understanding should continue to improve with the development of practice.
The Marxist view of practice requires us: When we think about problems and solve things, we must adhere to the principle of practice first, insist on deepening understanding, improving understanding and developing understanding in practice. We must insist on coming from practice and going to practice, deeply understand the masses, everything must be based on the practice of our country's social and economic development, correctly handle socialist construction and resolve various social contradictions.

The connotation of the Marxist view of practice
First of all, Marxist philosophy understands practice as human objective activities. Marx believed that human beings are objective beings, practice is the externalization of human essential power, and the essence of practice is the objectified activity of human essence.
Marxist philosophy not only opposes the intuitiveness and one-sidedness of old materialism, but also opposes the abstractness and speculativeness of idealism. It requires that "objects, reality, and sensibility", including industrial history and technology, should be Understand it from the perspective of practice and human perceptual activities.
Therefore, practice is a real, concrete, material force that changes the world. However, traditional Western philosophy only understands practice in an ethical sense and regards practice as a non-objective activity. Its so-called practice is only a kind of practical rationality and does not have reality, concreteness or materiality.
For example, Aristotle, based on the value concepts of virtue and goodness, understood practice as the ethical behavior of people's daily social life, especially political life; Kant regarded practice as rational will, freedom and moral freedom.
