Abstract: With the philosophical turn, Marx and Whitehead as the modern and contemporary thinkers, they both turn their philosophical perspectives to the actual world and seek experiential basis of their philosophies, moreover they end traditional metaphysics and philosophy of consciousness by dialectical thinking, process thinking as well as holism and organism They no longer analyze “things” as substance and selfconsciousness as subject, but analyse the existent activities of actual human beings and their process of life or the activities of feelings and prehensions of actual entities and occasions, and try to answer subject in the environment how selfbecoming, selfactualizing, and selfliberating according to the principle of subjectivity, and how to realize cosmic order and human civilization by intersubjectivity In that sense the philosophies of Marx and Whitehead are rooted in theory of perceptual activities in the actual world, although their core categories are different, Marx emphasizes labor, production and practice for the actual human beings but Whitehead investigates feelings, prehensions, becoming and creation of actual entities They not only let noun verbalization, from “hermeneutics of practice” to the “critique for pure feelings”, but also focus on the interaction between subject and object, communication of intersubjectivity There are many commonalities on the philosophies of Marx and Whitehead, such as, intersubject communication and the relationship between prehending and prehended are all based on subjectobject interaction under the practical dialectics and process dialectics of perceptual activities; subjects and objects are all objective realities; and theories of perceptual activities are set up in the historical logic and process perspective, etc Thus, these views are important for highlighting the interpretative principle of historical materialism
