Features: This book is a specialized work that systematically elaborates on Western Marxism. Since the 1920s, Western Marxism has gradually become a significant 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 important 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 with knowledge, innovation with stability, conciseness with systematicity, focus with comprehensiveness, historical narration with critical evaluation. Following the basic approach of Western Marxism "seeking Marx," it revolves around the theme of "rebuilding Marx" in Western Marxism, emphasizing the Marxist perspective of Western Marxism while also discussing other distinctive theoretical viewpoints of Western Marxism. From the standpoint of Marxism, it offers an objective evaluation of these theories.
