Abstract: The materialist dialectics called as the best tools and the sharpest weapon by Engels reset Hegel s dialectic from materialist views. There is nothing wrong that Engels called his and Marx s philosophy, the question is that Engels was keen interest in view of nature. He understood Materialist conception of history with materialist view of nature which attracted numerous controversy. As the representative of the study, Dialectics of Nature was not only not attention by German Social Democratic Party, but also has been seriously questioned by western Marxist philosophers. Resolve this problem, we need understand the relationship between dialectics of nature and philosophy of nature or historical dialectics, and we need analyze what was the final form of philosophy defined by Engels in his later years. Engels alternated encompassing previous metaphysics to formal logic and dialectics, and integrated the application of philosophy into historical science. The latter has been largely confirmed in the development process of contemporary philosophy, while the former is equivalent to ask “what is philosophy”, which is worth every philosopher s lifetime exploration.
