Reihe: Educational Philosophy and Theory

This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth survey of the foundational research orientations of contemporary Chinese Marxism. The chapters in this book not only attach importance to the exploration of classic Marxist texts but also explore the challenges posed on classic Marxist texts by modernity, and in doing so, highlight the relationship between Marxism and the traditional Chinese culture.

As a school of thought, Marxism has exerted tremendous influence on fields of humanities and social sciences over the course of its introduction, dissemination, and development. Through this volume, well established Chinese scholars from Mainland China also discuss contemporary Chinese Marxism in an interdisciplinary context. Further, this volume facilitates dialogues, exchanges, and collisions of ideas between researchers of contemporary Chinese Marxism on one side and the researchers of Western Marxism on the other.

This book will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Marxism, philosophy and sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Educational Philosophy and Theory.
