Tian Shuwei wrote in the second issue of Philosophical Analysis for 2021 that Hegel believes that the core of the problem of poverty in modern society is spiritual poverty, that is, citizens abandon the principle of civil society in their ideology. Material poverty is subordinate to spiritual poverty, which is the externalization of spiritual poverty of the "bottom working class". On the other hand, based on historical materialism, Marx criticized Hegel's philosophical position, emphasized that "perceptual man" was the starting point of history, and understood the essence of poverty from the practical field of material production. Modern society is built on the basis of class oppression, and the principle of civil society does not exist. Material poverty is the core of the poverty problem, that is, the working class suffers from exploitation and oppression, and spiritual poverty is determined by material poverty, which is manifested in the concept of individual egoism. In Hegel's view, there is no solution to the problem of poverty. However, through the investigation of historical reality and social ideological context, Marx gradually consciously stood on the position of the working class and formed a correct idea and scientific method to solve the problem of poverty.
