This synoptic essay considers the nature and evolution of the Marxist theory that developed in Western Europe, after the defeat of the proletarian rebellions in the West and the isolation of the Russian Revolution in the East in the early 1920s. It focuses particularly on the work of Lukács, Korsch and Gramsci; Adorno, Marcuse and Benjamin; Sartre and Althusser; and Della Volpe and Colletti, together with other figures within Western Marxism from 1920 to 1975. The theoretical production of each of these thinkers is related simultaneously to the practical fate of working-class struggles and to the cultural mutations of bourgeois thought in their time. The philosophical antecedents of the various school within this tradition—Lukácsian, Gramscian, Frankfurt, Sartrean, Althusserian and Della Volpean—are compared, and the specific innovations of their respective systems surveyed. The structural unity of 'Western Marxism', beyond the diversity of its individual thinkers, is then assessed, in a balance-sheet that contrasts its heritage with the tradition of 'classical' Marxism that preceded it, and with the commanding problems which will confront any historical materialism to succeed it.

This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth survey of the foundational research orientations of contemporary Chinese Marxism. The chapters in this book not only attach importance to the exploration of classic Marxist texts but also explore the challenges posed on classic Marxist texts by modernity, and in doing so, highlight the relationship between Marxism and the traditional Chinese culture.As a school of thought, Marxism has exerted tremendous influence on fields of humanities and social sciences over the course of its introduction, dissemination, and development. Through this volume, well established Chinese scholars from Mainland China also discuss contemporary Chinese Marxism in an interdisciplinary context. Further, this volume facilitates dialogues, exchanges, and collisions of ideas between researchers of contemporary Chinese Marxism on one side and the researchers of Western Marxism on the other.This book will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Marxism, philosophy and sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Educational Philosophy and Theory.
