Features: This book is revised and expanded based on the requirements of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and the experience of the authors involved in the ongoing education of the history of Marxist development. It maintains the characteristics and depth of the four-volume work, striving to be concise yet profound, clear yet not vulgar. The historical development is well-structured, major theoretical viewpoints are highlighted, and it possesses strong logic and readability. It emphasizes the continuous connection between Marxism, Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory, highlights the spread and development of Marxism in China, and underscores the historical status and guiding significance of contemporary Chinese Marxism. The revision primarily replaces the original "Preface" with a newly written "Introduction," and extends the timeline of the "Innovation Chapter" to the 16th National Congress in 2002. Part of the 18th chapter is expanded, along with additional sections and related content. New chapters, the 19th and 20th, are written separately to elaborate on the development of the Important Thought of "Three Represents," with a focus on using the thread of the history of Marxist development as a consistent framework and highlighting the new horizons and explorations in the development of Marxist theory.
