As one of the most prominent members of the Frankfurt School, Marcuse produces his version of critical theory of society that outlines an alternative plan for radical social change under the guidance of his biopolitical conception. Combining the perspectives of Marxism, existentialism, Freudianism, the New Left and others alike, and referring to the experience of contemporary Western new social movements, Marcuse discusses the dialectics of liberation that the society transitions from repressive civilization to nonrepressive civilization. He regards biopolitics as the politicization of erotic energies and the resistance initiated by individual bodies and minds, and labels it “firstperson politics”. From this firstperson biopolitical perspective, Marcuse puts forward a theory of human liberation that is different from the classic Marxist theory, and thus to a certain extent, has influenced the New Left's theory of social change today.  Related Articles | Metrics Select Foucault's Theory of Power and Governanment Hu Yaohui, Ouyang Qian Teaching and Research    2021, 55 (3): 96-104.   Abstract （3325）      PDF （6823KB）（787）       Knowledge map    Save Power has always been the focus of contemporary political thought. Foucault's power theory is a new exploration of traditional power theory. By regarding power as the relationship of power, Foucault's power theory not only makes up for the defect that traditional power theory equates power with domination, but also analyzes the macro mechanism of the state and local micro practice at the same time. Therefore, Foucault's power theory has become a supplement to Marx's view of power. At the same time, Foucault's power theory also puts forward a new type of freedom practice theory of freedom within power. This paper explains Foucault's basic theoretical hypothesis of power, recognizes the breakthrough of his power theory to modern power theory, and points out the enlightening significance of his theory to modern political theory.

How to understand the complicated relation between culture and society? How to tackle the dynamic function of culture in social reforms? How to interpret the practical significance of mass culture and political practice? All these questions present important theoretical issues that await Marxist theorists who are concerned with the reality of social reforms.Thus,the exploration into construction and perfection of Marxist theory of culture points to the basic direction in the development of Marxism in the modern era.This paper aims at analyzing "cultural materialism" proposed by Raymond Williams,a British leftist theorist,and discussing its theoretical construction and significance.The author holds that not only is cultural materialism a response to the practical issues in social development of the modern time,but it has also profoundly expanded Marxist theory of culture to a certain extent.

Althusser’s Interpretation OUYANG Qian Teaching and Research    2005, (1): 6-12.   Abstract （1293）      PDF （2728KB）（1691）       Knowledge map    Save Althusser,a man who willing“kept watch at night”for Marxism,went out of his wayto re-interpret Marxist theories with the intention of drawing a clear cut-off line between Marxismand non-Marxism,and to sticking to the scientific characteristics of Marxism.“Return to Marx”,as he put it,or rather,“return to Marx in his mature years”,is the logical guideline for his theo-retical interpretation.The author holds that Althusser’s theoretical interpretation is heavily influencedby such fashion as structuralism and psychoanalysis.Therefore,in his new interpretation Marx uncon-sciously became a structuralist who appeared to be theoretically anti-humanism.With Althusser’s newmethod and concept,Marx is taking on a new look.The author points out that this is a preciousfresh idea in the studies of Marx,and has shed light on development of Marxism.

Lyotard’s postmodern epistemology exhibits clearly the epistemological turnof postmodernism. Having explained the condition of knowledge and its functionalchange in postmodern society, he critizes the principle of unity as the kernel of modernism, and establishes the principle of diversity as the kernel of postmodernism. Fromhis logic we can find how postmodernism answers the cultural crisis of contemporarysociety.
