Abstract: In the “Preface” to Marx's A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Engels summarizes Marxs idea of “relationshipreality”. This paper specifically expands and demonstrates the connotation, origin, method and significance of Marx's idea on “relationshipreality” through his later works, and thus, further enriches the Marxist view of reality. The connotation of “relationshipreality” is to produce and reflect reality by constantly solving the contradictions in relationships. Marx defines the “categories” from the relationship between the present and historical facts, and this “relationship” refers to one between each elemental category of the overall “structure” and that between the elements and the whole. The endogenous nature of the development of the relationship lies in the objectivity of human activities. The approach to understanding reality lies in the circular interpretation of relational abstraction and concrete reality, through which the generative and openended qualities of reality are determined.

Key words: relationship, reality, objectification, from abstract to concrete
