Features: In the 21st century, as the era of knowledge dawns, facing the complex group of the modern intellectual class, the author of this book employs the methodology of historical materialism to explore the historical evolution of the modern intellectual class in the 20th century from both theoretical and practical perspectives, focusing on aspects such as the historical transformation of intellectuals, modern trends, temperament changes, political characteristics, and cultural roles. The book systematically discusses the views of Western scholars and the intellectual policies of Western Communist parties, while offering realistic insights into China's intellectual policies. Additionally, it objectively and systematically examines how to reveal the changes of intellectuals against the backdrop of technological revolution, how to interpret contemporary social development through the actions of intellectuals, and how to analyze the attributes of intellectuals using new paradigms. This is currently a pioneering monograph by young scholars in China on the study of the intellectual class.
