Features: Based on an examination of the fundamental reasons, theoretical pathways, and specific process of the transformation of Marx's worldview, this book focuses on interpreting the key content of Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1884, emphasizing the emergence of Marxist epistemology within the manuscripts, Marx's approach to historical materialism, and his initial discussions of communism. These issues are all significant theoretical problems in the process of the founding of Marxist philosophy. This interpretation and elaboration fully demonstrate that Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1884 is a pivotal work in the period leading up to Marx's creation of his new worldview. Building on the interpretation and elaboration of the manuscripts, the book also discusses the contemporary value of other important viewpoints.
