Abstract

Romantic irony and the irony of Marx, even though there is a strong co-expression of subjectivity, but the irony is not a Marxist aesthetic irony, but irony of practice. Although such ironic farewell to the intrinsic nature of consciousness, but still retains significant intrinsic nature of another - the intrinsic value of nature. Thus, it should prevent the burgeoning of the positivist and the Marxist tendency towards secularism. Although Marx's irony embodied the same subjectivity as romantic irony, it was practical irony rather than aesthetic. Such kind of irony departed from the interiority of consciousness but obviously had another kind of interiority, that is, the interiority of value. Thus we need to be wary of the prevalent positivism and secularization tendency in the understanding of Marx
