" "

Discover the truth through practice, and again through practice verify and develop the truth. Start from perceptual knowledge and actively develop it into rational knowledge; then start from rational knowledge and actively guide revolutionary practice to change both the subjective and the objective world. Practice, knowledge, again practice, and again knowledge. This form repeats itself in endless cycles, and with each cycle the content of practice and knowledge rises to a higher level. Such is the whole of the dialectical-materialist theory of knowledge, and such is the dialectical-materialist theory of the unity of knowing and doing.

Additional quotes by Mao Zedong

马克思列宁主义认为:认识过程中两个阶段的特性,在低级阶段,认识表现为感性的,在高级阶段,认识表现为论理的,但任何阶段,都是统一的认识过程中的阶段。感性和理性二者的性质不同,但又不是互相分离的,它们在实践的基础上统一起来了。我们的实践证明:感觉到了的东西,我们不能立刻理解它,只有理解了的东西才更深刻地感觉它。感觉只解决现象问题,理论才解决本质问题。这些问题的解决,一点也不能离开实践。无论何人要认识什么事物,除了同那个事物接触,即生活于(实践于)那个事物的环境中,是没有法子解决的。不能在封建社会就预先认识资本主义社会的规律,因为资本主义还未出现,还无这种实践。马克思主义只能是资本主义社会的产物。马克思不能在自由资本主义时代就预先具体地认识帝国主义时代的某些特异的规律,因为帝国主义这个资本主义最后阶段还未到来,还无这种实践,只有列宁和斯大林才能担当此项任务。马克思、恩格斯、列宁、斯大林之所以能够作出他们的理论,除了他们的天才条件之外,主要地是他们亲自参加了当时的阶级斗争和科学实验的实践,没有这后一个条件,任何天才也是不能成功的。

这种新民主主义共和国,一方面和旧形式的、欧美式的、资产阶级专政的、资本主义的共和国相区别,那是旧民主主义的共和国,那种共和国已经过时了;另一方面,也和苏联式的、无产阶级专政的、社会主义的共和国相区别,那种社会主义的共和国已经在苏联兴盛起来,并且还要在各资本主义国家建立起来,无疑将成为一切工业先进国家的国家构成和政权构成的统治形式;但是那种共和国,在一定的历史时期中,还不适用于殖民地半殖民地国家的革命。因此,一切殖民地半殖民地国家的革命,在一定历史时期中所采取的国家形式,只能是第三种形式,这就是所谓新民主主义共和国。这是一定历史时期的形式,因而是过渡的形式,但是不可移易的必要的形式。
