西方马克思主义的演化及前沿问题

The Evolution of Western Marxism and Leading Issues

在这篇讲演中,麦克莱伦考察了过去九十多年间马克思主义思想在欧洲和北美的发展。他认为西方马克思主义者都是时代的产物,他们往往通过自己时代占支配地位的思想范式来解释马克思主义。他认为这是理解西方马克思主义发展变化的一种有益方式。他重点考察了当前的三个主题:全球化、帝国主义和生态问题。尤其是他认为,马克思主义可以为生态问题的解决提供资源。最后,他再次提到《共产党宣言》中的"人的全面发展"的思想。他认为:"人类拥有个人权利和义务的尊严不是来自于契约,或者个人所有的或是所做的,而仅仅是因为他们是人。"

In this speech, McLellan examines evolution of Marxist thought in Europe and North America over the past 90 years. He thinks that Western Marxists are all the products of their time and they tended to interpret Marxism through the dominant intellectual paradigm of their own time. He argues that this is a useful way of understanding the evolution of Western Marxism. He explores three themes, namely, globalization, imperialism and econogy issues. He emphasizes that Marxism could provide useful resource to solve ecological problems. In the end, he mentions again the idea of 'integral human development'in the Communist Manifesto. He calls for the dignity of the human beings' individual rights and duties that do not arise from contract or what individuals have or do, but simply in virtue of their being human.
