Features: This book is imbued with the idea that the true philosophical significance of Marxism, which was forgotten and distorted by the leaders of the Second International, must be restored. In the book, the author first proposes that Marxism is merely a method, then introduces a series of concepts such as "the essence of Marxist dialectics is the category of the concrete whole," "the essence of history lies in it being a product of human activity," and "reification," among others. The author also elaborates on these concepts and gives significant prominence to the "class consciousness issue" in the book.
