Abstract
Although Marx passed away
over 120 years ago and the cause in which Marx had put his whole life
for the proletariats and the whole mankind's revolution and liberation
temporarily went into a low valley after several turns and twists,
there were a great deal of excellent research results flowing out and
the research of Marxism named after his name. They brought about one and
another high tides in the world academic circles around the new
millennium's arrival. Regardless of the concrete motive and reason of
these researchers, and no matter how different their value
orientation, their title selections, their focus and their study method
was, the fever of this kind of research explained that Marxism which
was born in 150 years ago still had the thriving source of vitality,
and deeply inspiring, influential and flexible leading meaning to the
development of the contemporary academic thoughts and social progress
of mankind.
