Description:
From the standpoint of Marxist philosophy, this book addresses the major issues that have arisen as a result of the changing of the times and the transformation of China’s society. It discusses the scope and contemporary form of practice, the contemporary construction of Marxist philosophical form, modernity and cultural identity, and the new development of the theory of Chinese socialism since the turn of the century, on which the author has presented his own unique views. The essays it collects are distinguished by cutting-edge topics and broad vision, to some extent reflecting the evolution of the spirit of the times.
