Features: This book is a work that fully embodies the spirit of innovation in the history of Marxist philosophy. The author, from the perspective of the current era, based on the new achievements in China's philosophical circles in recent years, has achieved breakthroughs in multiple aspects of research on the history of Marxist philosophy development. The introduction explores the general laws of the sinicization of Marxist philosophy, applying the basic principles of contemporary hermeneutics to explain that the development of Marxist philosophy is primarily the selection and interpretation of Marx and Engels' philosophical thought by Marxist scholars in various countries based on practical needs. It holds that the process of sinicizing Marxist philosophy can be divided into four stages, producing three forms of sinicized Marxist philosophy. The main text is divided into two parts, with 1949 as the boundary. The first part discusses the first form, namely the formation of Mao Zedong's philosophical thought with seeking truth from facts as its theoretical core, focusing on analyzing its formation mechanism and its connection with traditional Chinese culture. The second part emphasizes the conflict between two ideologies as the basic characteristic of China's socialist practice and the process of sinicizing Marxist philosophy from 1949 to 1978. During the "Cultural Revolution," the unrealistic "leftist" tendency gradually gained dominance in the conflict. The later part of the books the development of Marxist philosophy in China since the reform and opening-up, highlighting the rise of practical materialism and its significant theoretical meaning, and attempts to preliminarily explore the profound impact of the important thought of "Three Represents," as well as people-centered development and scientific outlook on development, on the development of Marxist philosophy in China.
