Features: This book explains the significance of Marxism for contemporary humanity from macro, meso, and micro levels, particularly arguing its significance for the modernizing Chinese people today. The book primarily explores the contemporary relevance of Marxism. The first part directly argues the contemporary significance of Marxism, while the second part actually analyzes the contemporary value of Marxism from the perspective of Western Marxism. The title "The Eternal Marx" was chosen primarily to convey this purpose—to demonstrate that the "ism" created by Marx, despite its vicissitudes, remains a guiding light for human progress and that Marx's thought is indeed immortal. The book elucidates the contemporaneity of Marxist philosophy by reviewing the perspectives of renowned Western Marxist scholars on Marx's philosophical views.
