Abstract: Marx's exposition on the "realistic individual" in German Ideology has always been a hot issue of academic attention. In
the process of questioning the nature of man, Marx profoundly criticized and transcended the inquiry of Hegel, Feuerbach and Stirner
on the nature of man based on the scientific view of practice. It is precisely in this process of criticism and transcendence that Marx
sketches a multidimensional mirror image of the "realistic individual". In the new era, in-depth study of the rich connotations
contained in it is not only of great value for understanding and grasping the Marxist materialist view of history, but also has important
practical significance for guiding the current development of our society.
