Features: Towards the Depths of History (published in 1987) won the First Prize of the Outstanding Achievements in Philosophy and Social Sciences of Beijing and the First Prize of the Outstanding Achievements in Humanities and Social Sciences Research of Higher Education in China. This book takes the exploration of human understanding of historical laws as its guiding principle, studying how Marx broke through the limitations of previous historical perspectives to delve into the depths of history, which is the discovery of historical regularity, thereby producing a revolutionary transformation in historical cognition. The book analyzes the theoretical value and internal contradictions of important categories and ideas in Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, and conducts an in-depth discussion on the necessity of Marx's turn to historical materialism.
