Indepth studies of theoretical innovation of Marxism are the requirement of practice. The crucial point is proper understanding and grasping of the relationships between theoretical innovation and social practice, adhering and developing, and inheriting and innovating as well; Attention should be directed to the expression form of Marxist theoretical innovation with two emphases: 1.focusing on the theme of localization of Marxism in China, particularly studies of contemporary Marxism in China, that is, the theoretical system of socialism characteristic of the Chinese style, including studies of theoretical innovation of philosophy; 2.sticking to the guiding principle of integrating theory and practice.

On the Methodological Significance of Historical Materialism ——With Reference to the Value Theory in Political Economics WANG Feng-Ming 2012, 47 (1):  12-18.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1229KB) ( )   Marxist political economics and Marxist philosophy is an integrated whole. A case in point is the commodity value theory. The exchange value is where Marxs economics diverges from western mainstream economics. It was from this divergence that the latter moved to the surface price analysis and surface price model. Contrary to the western mainstream economics, Marx developed a theory for indepth interpretation of value and thus unveiled the nature of commodity value from various perspectives. Consequently a scientific labor theory of value was established. In the course of this theoretical development, the principles of materialism, history and value played an important role of philosophical methodology. This is where philosophy entered the realm of Marxist political economics. Related Articles | Metrics

On the Duality Theory in Das Kapital LIU Zhao-Feng 2012, 47 (1):  19-25.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1311KB) ( )   In his work Das Kapital, Marx analyzed two types of “duality”: “inherent duality” and “historically acquired duality”. “Duality of labor” belongs to the first type, while “duality of commodity and capital” belongs to the second. As the former is not capable of offering a full account of the latter, the critical theory of fetishism must be referred to in the explanation of the latter. The author points out that duality of labor is only part of Marxs theory on duality, and its essence lies in unveiling how the “social form” of “material” was “historically acquired and superimposed”. There is a close internal link between Marxs duality theory and his approach “from the abstract to the specific”. The logic of this descriptive task from “the abstract” to “the specific” is to explain in theory the historical course of how “material” was “historically acquired and superimposed” to certain “social form”, so as to gain its “nature of duality”. Replacing Marxs logic “from the abstract to the specific” with the logic “from the specific to the abstract” is a harmful theoretical retrogression. Related Articles | Metrics

Changes in International Organizations in the Era of Globalization and Chinas Strategic Options PU Ping 2012, 47 (1):  47-54.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1675KB) ( )   Since the 1990s, international organizations have undergone new changes along with the transition of international relations. The rise of the global governance theory has reinforced the significance of international organizations as independent actors concerning international relations, resulting in their intruding into issues of national sovereignty. The rapid uprising of new countries promoted has the structural transition of international system and attacked the international organizations system led by western countries. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chinas relations with international organizations are continuously deepened, adjusted and restructured. International organizations are not only a means of realizing and maintaining our national interests, but also an important arena for China to fulfill international responsibilities. On the other hand, the obvious growth of Chinas economic power provides material basis for further participation in activities of international organizations. In the long run, holistic and overall consideration for Chinas relations with international organizations from the perspective of diplomatic strategy is required, and Chinas ability to set the agenda should be substantially enhanced. Current emphasis should be placed on promoting development of regional international organizations in bordering areas. Related Articles | Metrics

In a sense, participation in international mechanism reflects a countrys infusion into the international community. Of the various forms of international mechanism the multilateral international treaty is definitely the most important.

This situation reflects Chinas relations with the international community. It is also closely related to the changing situations at home and abroad.

An Analysis of Existing Problems in the Teaching of the Proletarian Impoverishment Theory ZHAO Hui 2012, 47 (1):  72-78.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1442KB) ( )   Due to the idea that Marxs theory of proletarian impoverishment is already outdated, two problems arise in the teaching of this theory. The first one is teaching only the accumulation of capital but not the accumulation of poverty, believing that in this way Marxism can be protected. However, teaching the accumulation of capital without mentioning its source, that is, the proletarian poverty, means a separation of Marxist theory. The second problem has to do with the claim that the absolute proletarian poverty no longer exists, and there is only relative poverty among the proletariat. This way of explaining Marxist theory of proletarian poverty commits a mistake of what Marx had criticized as Utopian socialism. Related Articles | Metrics

From Conception Choice to Method Deconstruction：The Logic and Defect of Philip Pettits Conception of Freedom as Nondomination PANG Jin-You, LIU Ying-Shuo 2012, 47 (1):  79-86.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1646KB) ( )   As a representative of contemporary New Republicanism, Philip Pettit has no ideas about establishing a value goal or constructing a theoretical system differents from Liberalisms. Instead, his goal is to smash up the monopoly of Liberalism over the conception of freedom and offer profound republican interpretations of major issues of freedom in terms of freedom, law, citizenship, participation and identity around the conception of freedom as nondomination according to the theoretical frame of Republicanism. There are some misunderstandings and defects in Pettits explanation from the choice of conception to the deconstruction of method. However, the conception of freedom by the new republicanism offers a new context and realm for contemporary political philosophy. Related Articles | Metrics

University Value Education under the Influence of Mass Culture XIE Xiao-Juan 2012, 47 (1):  87-92.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1281KB) ( )   Mass culture exercises strong but subtle influence on value formation of university students because of its characteristics of equal participation, a variety of choices, and entertaining expressions. On the one hand, mass culture provides a democratic agenda that offers various opportunities of life chooses for university students. On the other hand, mass culture tends to cause cognitive confusion in values and errors in judgment. In view of this situation, it is important that university value education should, first of all, accept the wide spread influence of mass culture, but the contents of value education should stress mainstream culture, and balanced information about value should be introduced. Meanwhile, sufficient respect should be given to the individual preferences of university students. Related Articles | Metrics
