Features: This book selects ten scholars from Western Marxism who have conducted in-depth and original reflections on the phenomenon of modernity—Benjamin, Adorno, Habermas, Wmer, Lefebvre, Merleau-Ponty, Bourdieu, Baudrillard, Jameson, and Giddens—as its research subjects. Starting from the interpretation of their original works, it provides a critique of their theories of modernity. The book also proposes a new concept, "Phenomenology of Modernity," and attempts to engage in substantive dialogue with these Western Marxists in a more effective way based on this new theoretical framework. This is a new theoretical attempt and exploration.
