Features: "Foreign Marxism" primarily focuses on the application of Marxism, with its research approach being the use of Marxism as a theoretical tool to analyze and critique contemporary capitalist reality. "Foreign Marxism Studies" (or "Foreign Marxology") primarily engages with Marx's texts themselves, involving academic research on the editions of Marx's works, the development of his thought, and his theoretical perspectives. The distinction between "Foreign Marxism" and "Foreign Marxism Studies" reflects the division between the "ideological" and "academic" aspects of scholarly discourse. Foreign Marxists typically appear as thinkers, while Foreign Marxologists present themselves as experts. This book provides a systematic introduction and analysis of hot topics in Foreign Marxism Studies, which is commonly referred to as tracking research.
