Basic characteristics of practice:
First, objectivity. Practice is an objective perceptual material activity. The subject of practice, the tools used by the subject and the object of practice all exist objectively. The objectivity of practice shows that it is different from pure thinking activities and spiritual activities. Only by adhering to the objectivity of practice can we draw a clear line with the idealistic view of practice.
Second, take the initiative. Practice is a conscious and purposeful activity of the subject. As the subject of practice, man has his own subjective world, and his practice is an activity under the guidance of certain consciousness and purpose. Only by adhering to the initiative of practice can we fundamentally draw a clear line with the old materialist view of practice.
Third, social historicity. Practice is a social and historical activity. As the subject of practice, man is in a certain social relationship and always carries out practical activities in a certain social relationship. Only by adhering to the social historicity of practice can we draw a clear line between idealism and old materialism and pragmatism.
The practice of human expanding information must have some form, so social relations are only an indispensable form and composition of human practical activities. This form of social relations is not only rooted in practical activities, but also has its internal composition and attributes.
Only when we study human practical activities, we study it from different angles of content and form, but it does not mean that the forms of social relations and production relations seem to be external and pre-practical. Instead, the essence of various forms of social relations can only exist in practical activities, and its essence refers to human practical activities themselves.
