The Communist Party of China and the Three Transitions in China’s Mode of Economic Development in the 20th Century WU Li, WANG Dan-li 2011, (6):  10-17.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1326KB) ( )   With the invasion of western imperialism in 1840,the struggle against imperialism and feudalism for national salvation became the pre-requisite for China’s economic development.Against this historical background,the Communist Party of China creatively integrated Marxism with the reality of the Chinese revolution and led the Chinese people to the success of new democratic revolution,liberating China from the oppression of semi-feudalism and semi-colonialism.The second transition occurred after the founding of new China.In order to get out of the traps of poverty and backwardness in the shortest time possible and realize industrialization,CPC chose to pursue the course of socialist industrialization to catch up with the world.To achieve this goal,a planned economic system was set up.Then,at the end of the 1970s,CPC implemented the reform and open policies to break through the development mode that had contained only public ownership and planned economy,and finally decided on the mode of socialist market economy.Thus,the third transition was completed.Now,China is marching on the course of socialist development characteristic of the Chinese style,which has institutionally paved the way for a great revival of China.

Reconsideration of Marx’s Paradigm of Free Time ZHANG Yong-hong, HU Ruo-chi 2011, (6):  52-58.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1235KB) ( )   According to Marxist theory,free time refers to non-working hours exclusive of the time for biological needs.The authors hold that inclusion of the time for biological needs into free time just because it is not of working time is misunderstanding and misinterpretation of Marx’s ideas.Free time is leisure time.Although Marx did not use the word "leisure",he clearly interpreted the concept of leisure by means of explaining the free activities people engaged in their free time.Of course,free time in essence is time for development.Marx had intended to discover the practical condition and approach to "free development of man".The free leisure activities must be penetrated with subjective spirit and should reflect the goal of self-development.

A Comparative Study of Two Types of Practice Philosophy: Marxist Philosophy and Gramsci’s Practice Philosophy ZHANG Yan-ling 2011, (6):  65-69.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1065KB) ( )   Both Marxist philosophy and Gramsci’s practice philosophy emphasize the practical nature of philosophy,and advocate understanding of the world,history and people’s cognition through practice.Therefore,both can be called practice philosophy.But Marxist philosophy belongs to practical materialism.It emphasizes the material objectivity of practice and considers practice the unique criterion for testing cognition.In contrast,Gramsci’s practice philosophy is guided by practical idealism.It often replaces practical activity with that of the will,and resorts to the general acceptance of the masses as the criterion for judgment.

On G.A. Cohen’s Reply to Nozick’s Argument against Socialism WANG Zeng-shou 2011, (6):  86-91.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (734KB) ( )   Robert Nozick,who is a right-wing liberalist,put forward an influential argument against socialism in his famous book "Anarchy,State and Utopia".He claimed that maintenance of socialist equality could be achieved only at the expense of freedom.Therefore,socialist equality was unjustified.Being aware of the harm of this statement,G.A.Cohen,a leading representative of the contemporary analytic school of Marxism,made an effective rebuttal against this false thesis by referring to political philosophy,and thus defended the desirability of socialism in terms of the perspective of value norms.
