Features: The purpose of writing this "Outline of Modern Western Philosophy" is to provide a textbook for optional humanities and social science courses in universities, as well as a concise reading for philosophy enthusiasts. It is often said that philosophy is the essence of the spirit of the times, and modern Western philosophy is also full of profound insights from philosophers. Offering the "Outline of Modern Western Philosophy" course aims to make a relatively objective evaluation of the reasonable core of modern Western philosophy from the perspective of Marxism, in order to broaden the theoretical horizons of young students, enrich their knowledge of philosophy and social sciences, cultivate and enhance their rational thinking abilities, and explore and inspire their intellectual talents. In terms of content, broadly speaking, it should include Marxist philosophy that originated in the West and is still popular in Western countries today. However, since Marxism is the guiding ideology of our Party and country, "Marxist Philosophy" is offered as an independent course. Therefore, "Modern Western Philosophy" no longer includes it, but refers only to non-Marxist modern Western philosophy.
