西方“重新发现”马克思述评

Review of the "Rediscovery" of Marx in Western Society

从2007年开始的危机不只是金融危机和经济危机,也不只是欧洲主权债务危机和美国"财政悬崖",而是21世纪第一次资本主义市场经济系统性危机。这场危机包括经济危机、社会危机、政治危机、意识形态危机以及已经持续多年的生态和环境危机。正是在这一特殊的历史背景下,西方许多界别人士"重新发现"马克思,并且在各个领域程度不同地有所表现;同时,危机的爆发和持续使得西方学者在检视他们自己的相关理论,不少人把目光转向马克思的相关理论;他们"重新发现"马克思的许多重要理论对于他们认识资本主义危机的根源、分析资本主义的现状和前途、认清新自由主义的危害等,具有重要意义。深入研究和认真思考西方"重新发现"马克思的现象及其背后的社会和历史路径,对于我们坚持和发展马克思主义,建设中国特色社会主义市场经济等方面都有重要启示。

The crisis start in the summer of 2007 is not a simple financial or economic crisis or European sovereign debt crisis and brink of American public finance, but the first systematical crisis of capitalism in 21st century, which contains crisis of economy, society, ideology, ecology and environment. In this special context, many western scholars ＂rediscovered＂ Marx and his theory in many different areas to some extent. At the same time, the crisis force western scholars review their own theory and many of them turn to Marxism. They find Marx＇s analysis of great value on the root of crisis, the actuality, future of capitalism and the harm of neo-liveralism. It is essential for the cause of developing Marxism and the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics to study the phenomenon of ＂rediscovering Marx＂ and the social and historical route behind it.
