Features: The papers collected and appropriately arranged in this book are the works accumulated by the author over the recent years through continuous and in-depth reflection on the contemporary significance of Marxist theory. This is indeed a "process," a challenging journey of exploration. The history of Chinese Marxist studies serves as both our foundation and an unavoidable burden we must strive to carry—for all traditions are so for those who inherit them in the contemporary era. The modern Chinese intellectual tradition (from which the history of Chinese Marxist studies derives) has passed down to us its mission and tasks, but has also imposed upon us its paths. Its mission—the contemporary transformation and rejuvenation of Chinese society and culture—is sacred, yet its past paths have become increasingly narrow.
