Abstract: In the 1950’s, Li Ze-hou successfully connected Hegel’s “idea” with Czerny Khrushchev’s “life” and realized Hegel’s materialismization. In the 1980’s, he materialized Kant’s idealist apriorism to meet the need of Marxist mainstream ideology, which was known as Li’s “grafting” theory. Li Ze-hou’s was the instrumentalist philosophy, which was the sturting point as well as the basic string that ran through his whole philosrphical ideological system.In the middle of 1980’s, he proposed subjective philosophy. Situation ontology, which he put forward later,further emphasized perception, chance and erotic theory. However, there existed an irreconcilable tension structure between “situation ontology” and “instrumentalism”. Therefore, instrumentatlism shackled his potentiality for academic development. In order to break through the awkward theoretical situation, Li Ze-hou consulted Marxist and Kant’s three criticisms, using Marx’s practical and historical concept to reform Kant’s apriorist theory of subject.He tried to change “apriorism” into “history”,but it wasn’t “the whole history” that Hegel defined. On the contrary, it was a concrete history with the practice of the human society. He waned to deny two philosophers at one time, which was uttarly impossible. As a result, Li’s “subjectivity” became a philosophic notion beyond the explanation of speech. Definitions of conception were always contradictive and interfered with each other. They looked precise but actually logically loose. His coinages were not a few stil they failed to cover the chaos of his internal system.

Key words: Li Ze-hou, aesthetic system, subjective philosophy, situation ontology, instrumentalism
