Contemporary Chinese Marxist Philosophy in Academic and Systematic Construction

(Abstract)

 

Zhang Wenxi

 

In its most intrinsic nature, “academic” is not only formal rules but also a way of thinking and internal sequence. If Marxist philosophy in academic and system construction fully conforms to its spiritual essence, meaning and value, the road to hitting the points of social reality through Marxist philosophy will become clear. Starting from the definition of its own nature, Marxist philosophy reached the academic height of its development process by criticizing the Western metaphysical system represented by Hegel. In order to construct the academic system of contemporary Chinese Marxist philosophy, we should first put the demands of this criticism into practice. The academic or disciplinary demands require a focus on the active construction and innovation of the system and the awakening of noble human power. As regards the standards, scales, instructions and key points used to measure the academic system of Marxist philosophy, we should clearly see the necessity and importance of comprehensively criticizing the dominant intellectual principle in the spirit of the times, and especially reinterpret the socialist tendency of materialism.
