Abstract: With the end of the Cold War and new developments of globalization, Marxism and Marxist philosophy are faced with serious problems of meeting challenges and taking opportunities to survive and prosper in the moder era. Many scholars and theorists in the west hold a positive idea about the modern values of Marxism, thinking that it is still among the most active theoretical frames. Meanwhile, they try to analyze the challenges that face Marxism from the point of view of the changing objective external conditions, and the internal logical construct of Marxist theories. They discussed that what the "crisis" of Marxism indicated was a demand to revise and perfect Marxist theoretical frame in line with the new historical objective world and practical experiences, rather than signs that Marxism had outlived its time. As a matter of fact, the process of globalization has offered much room for Marxism to develop. We are confident that Marxism and Marxist philosophy will enter a new era of prosperity in response to the challenges and problems of globalization.

摘要： 冷战结束和全球化的最新发展,向我们提出了一个十分严峻的问题:马克思主义及其哲学在当代面临着怎样的发展机遇和挑战?许多西方学者和思想家都充分肯定马克思主义的当代价值,认为马克思主义仍然是当今时代最具活力的思想体系之一。与此同时,他们又根据客观条件的变化,或者从理论的内在逻辑结构入手,对马克思主义在当代所面临的挑战进行了多方面的揭示。马克思主义的“危机”与其说是马克思主义理论逐渐过时的征兆,毋宁说是要求根据新的历史情况和实践经验修改和完善理论。全球化给马克思主义的发展提供了广阔的天地,马克思主义及其哲学必将在回应全球化挑战和回答全球化问题中,把自己推进到一个新的境界。
