Features: This book understands Marx's theory of world history through the perspective of Marxist philosophy's practical view. Based on a systematic study of the creation, basic content, essence, historical context, and contemporary significance of Marx's theory of world history, it proposes that Marx's theory of world history is essentially a theory that grasps the development of the relationship between humans and the world from an overall and process-oriented perspective. Marx's theory of world history embodies a new philosophical theory known as the "world-historical outlook," which, in terms of methodology, insists on the unity of subject and object, science and value, the whole and the part, as well as critique and creation. This opens up a path of harmonious development with world-historical significance for us to grasp contemporary human development, globalization and China's modernization, and to establish a harmonious development perspective between humans and the world, as well as to build a harmonious society under socialism.
