Features: This book is a specialized work that systematically elaborates on Western Marxism. Since the 1920s, Western Marxism has gradually become an important trend in Western philosophy in the 20th century and has emerged as a strong wing in the basic framework of Marxism in the 20th century. The perspective and attitude of Western Marxism toward Marxism hold significant implications for our reinterpretation of Marxism. In recent two decades, the study of Western Marxism has undeniably become a hot topic in academic circles both domestically and internationally, yet there are few specialized works that provide a systematic, comprehensive, yet concise exposition of Western Marxism. This book strives to integrate academic rigor and knowledge, innovation and stability, conciseness and systematicity, focus and comprehensiveness, as well as historical narration and critical evaluation. Following the spirit of Western Marxism, it adheres to the fundamental approach of "pursuing Marx" in Western Marxism and revolves around the theme of "reconstructing Marx" in Western Marxism. It elaborates on the Marxist perspective of Western Marxism, also discusses other distinctive theoretical views of Western Marxism, and offers an objective evaluation from the standpoint of Marxism.
