在即将结束的世纪之末,来回顾马克思的思想遗产是一件有意义的事.马克思的思想遗产极为丰富,但最核心的应该是历史唯物主义及其所指示的人类社会发展道路问题.不了解马克思的思想遗产在人类社会领域所实现的划时代的变革及其意义,就不能正确理解邓小平理论的价值和意义.邓小平理论是马克思思想遗产在当代中国的真正继承和发展. It is a meaningful thing to review Marx’s intellectual heritage at the end of the coming century.Marx’s ideological heritage is extremely rich, but at its core lies the issue of historical materialism and the road of human social development that it indicates. To understand the epochal transformation and significance of Marx’s ideological heritage in the field of human society can not correctly understand the value and significance of Deng Xiaoping Theory, which is the true inheritance and development of Marx’s intellectual legacy in contemporary China.
