马克思主义已走过了一个半世纪的历程。当马克思主义已完成了第一次走向新世纪（由19世纪到20世纪），正要第二次走向新世纪（由20世纪到21世纪）的时候，考察马克思主义的历史命运、现实命运，前瞻其未来命运，不仅仅是凑“世纪问题”之热闹，也同时是完整、准确地理解马克思主义，深入地学习邓小平理论，正确地处理改革、发展与稳定关系的迫切需要。 Marxism has gone through a century and a half’s journey. When Marxism has completed the first move toward the new century (from the 19th century to the 20th century) and is about to move toward the new century (from the 20th century to the 21st century) for the second time, it examines the historical and realistic fates of Marxism, Looking ahead to its future destiny is not only a joke to join the “century issue” but also an urgent need for a complete and accurate understanding of Marxism, a thorough study of Deng Xiaoping Theory and a correct handling of the relations between reform, development and stability.
