马克思的一位同时代人在谈到马克思的时候曾说道,马克思是这样一种类型的人:他们的目光超出同时代人达数十年甚至一个世纪之远,因此他们作出的一些论断往往为本时代人所难以全然领会,而今后代人不胜叹服。在回顾马克思一个多世纪前关于知识、知识分子在现代社会中的作用的精采论述时,我一再想起上面这句精当的评语。 When talking about Marx, one of Marx’s contemporaries once said that Marx was such a type of person: their eyes were beyond the contemporaries for decades or even centuries, and so they often made some assertions It is difficult for this era to fully understand the people who will marvel at it in the future. In retrospect of Marx’s brilliant statement about the role of knowledge and intellectuals in modern society more than a century ago, I remembered the above-mentioned precise remark.
