    Abstract ( )   PDF (5087KB) ( )  
    The development, transformation and adjustment of the contemporary world and the social transformation of contemporary China brought about social fissions in China, resulting in ideological confusion. The important task of ideological and cultural construction now is to occupy the ideological positions with Marxism, lead the social thoughts with the core value system of socialism, continuously improve the integration capacity of mainstream ideology, maintain stability in the fields of ideology and culture, and enhance peoples identity with the Chinese culture. This is also an important task of building a socialist cultural big power.

    The Dual Dimension of Marxs Political Concepts
    SHI Hui-Ling
    2012, 47 (2):  12-18.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (5262KB) ( )  
    The holistic nature of Marxs political idea is most remarkable. With political holism as the point of departure, Marx gave a profound interpretation of the features and nature of modern politics—it is closely linked with countries of coercive power (statecentered) and is known as modern national politics. On the other hand, in construction of an ideal society, Marx presented a political feature that is integrated into this ideal society, that is, politics that is perfectly combined with the ideal social orders and mans autonomy and communication abilities (societycentered). Thus, his political concepts maintain a deep sense of history with a heavy structure. In other words, Marxs idea of politics is dual dimensional: the dimension of modernity and the dimension of the ideal. We must combine the two dimensions in order to grasp both modernity of politics as national coercive power and ideal of politics that requires autonomy of mankind. Only in this way can we get the original implications of Marxs political concept.

    The Work of Searching and Discovering and Value Creation
    ——On Value Determination of Natural Resources as Commodities
    ZHU Fang-Ming, He-Li-Long
    2012, 47 (2):  19-25.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (5063KB) ( )  
    For a long time whether natural resources have value has been a controversial issue in the academic circle. Some hold that since natural resources are natural and not products of labor, they do not have value. Others claim that natural resources have value because of their scarcity and utility. The authors maintain that people have generally neglected the work of searching and discovering before natural resources can become commodities. As a matter of fact, like any other products of labor, natural resources as commodities have value. Their value comes from mans abstract labor. The magnitude of value of natural resources is determined by the hours of socially necessary labor in searching and discovering the natural resources, because the work of individuals to search and to discover has become part of social labor. Therefore, the general human labor in a unit of the commodity resource turns to be the average socially necessary labor.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (3758KB) ( )

The author maintains that according to Marxist historical phenomenology evolution of wealth follows a course from the logic of pure wealth to the logic of man. To understand this course one must go beyond the intellectual and enter the ontology domain.

    Ecologic Crisis and Capitalism in the 21st Century
    GUO Dian-Sheng
    2012, 47 (2):  38-43.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (4398KB) ( )  
    Ecologic crisis is another form of economic crisis in contemporary capitalist society. The author points out that the theory and analysis method of ecologic Marxism are of important theoretical and practical significance in our efforts to adhere to the basic principles of Marxism, expand Marxist interpretation of the existing problems of capitalism, and analyze the current changing tendency of capitalism. However, the claim ecologic Marxism makes that “while economic crisis did not lead to the end of capitalism, ecologic crisis will” is not in line with the basic conclusions of Marxism. As ecologic capitalism and green Keynesianism have not changed the nature of capitalism, their ideas are not without limitations. The green investment measurements overdriven by technology in the western capitalist countries will not function as the major policies aimed at getting rid of the financial crisis and ecologic crisis. It is inevitable that “ecologic revolution” will give rise to “social revolution”.

    LI Zhi-Fei
    2012, 47 (2):  44-50.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (5316KB) ( )  
    In recent years China has gradually enhanced utilization of water resources to meet the demands of domestic economic development and the needs of peoples livelihood, which has aroused the concern of bordering countries about sustainable development and security issues on the stand of their own national interests. Chinas utilization of international water resources not only gives rise to changes in the surrounding geopolitical setup, but it has also become a new aspect that affects surrounding security.

    An Analysis of Y. P. Frolovs “New Humanitarianism”
    AN Qi-Nian
    2012, 47 (2):  51-58.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (5804KB) ( )  
    Y. P. Frolov is the most influential Soviet philosopher after Stalins death. Being a leading figure of humanitarian of Soviet philosophy he played an important role in Gorbachevs reform. Frolovs philosophical ideas represent the continuation of the conflicts of the traditional Russian philosophy with modern western philosophy and modern western capitalist civilization in the new historical settings.

    Reconstruction of Totality
    ——On Jamesons Cultural Criticism Theory
    NI Shou-Peng
    2012, 47 (2):  59-64.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (4559KB) ( )  
    Jameson attempts to give a general analysis of postmodernist culture known as antimetanarrative through application of Marxist position, views and methodology, which made him a controversial fiture in the international academic circle. This paper intends to present a critical interpretation of Jamesons cultural criticism theory of reconstruction of totality, focusing on four factors, that is, “justification of totality”, “Marxist doctrine of hermeneutics”, “aesthetic of cognitive mapping”, and “globalization and strategies of resistance” from the dimension of political thinking and the dimension of practical politics. On the whole, Jameson has adhered to Marxism with certain development. But his understanding of philosophical categories such as the subject has, to a certain extent, deviated from Marxism and got closer to postmodernism. Consequently, his theory of cultural criticism fell into a pessimistic labyrinth.

    On Crucial Categories That Affect the Rise of the General Price Level:
    An Analysis of Effective and Ineffective Monetary Policies
    BAI Bao-Li1, BAI Rui-Xue2
    2012, 47 (2):  65-70.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (4575KB) ( )  
    The paper attempts to analyze the crucial categories that affect the rise of the general price level. First, the relation between the rise of general price level and the monetary expansion is discussed to explain that the word “inflation” has been outdated for almost a hundred years, and that it has interfered into the study and governance of the rise of general price level. Then, a distinction is made between active monetary expansion and passive monetary expansion. This is meant to explain that the monetary policy is effective if applied to administer the rising general price level caused by active monetary expansion; but it is ineffective if applied to administer the rising general price level caused by passive monetary expansion. As what faces modern economy is often the rise of general price level caused by passive monetary expansion, the monetary policies are often ineffective.

    WANG Xue-Zhu
    2012, 47 (2):  71-78.  DOI:
    Abstract ( )   PDF (5760KB) ( )  
    The use of slogans is an extremely important phenomenon in the context of language use in China. It is also a popular means of propaganda of CPC, and is of unique significance. The set of slogans CPC created during the period of the new democratic revolution presents a comprehensive reflection of the historical course in which the Party had relied heavily on the people to carry out the new democratic revolution, realize national independence, and liberate the Chinese people. These slogans are the linguistic live fossils that have recorded the great history of the Party and the new democratic revolution led by the Party. Through an analysis of the principles, contents, forms and functions of the Partys slogan propaganda during the new democratic revolution and a recall of the battles over slogan propaganda during that period may help understand the positive significance of slogans in the history of the Chinese revolution. It also offers important implications for improvement of the theoretical propaganda today.
