Abstract: Aristotle's concept of practice is a kind of moral philosophy that emphasizes the statute at the political level, and Marx's concept of practice is historical science and goes beyond Aristotle's politics. It is one of the issues in the current academic circle to move the research of practical philosophy into the field of sociology and trace the connection between Marx's and the ancients' practical philosophy. Marx elaborates on practice in his book On the Outline of Feuerbach, and defines the perceptual and realistic material production as practice,in order to transform Aristotle's division of practice,theory and creation. Therefore, Marx's concept of practice and Aristotle's philosophy of practice are “heterogeneous”, and it transcends Aristotle's practical philosophy from three aspects: the integration of “knowledge” and “behavior”, the integration of relationship between human and nature and interpersonal communication, and the historical generation of “human nature”, which was the beginning of the development path of practical philosophy: moral practice theory—technical practice theory—moral technical practice theory.

Key words: Marx, Aristotle, practice, moral practice theory, technical practice theory
