近日,王岐山同志在中纪委座谈会讨论结束后,向与会专家推荐《旧制度与大革命》一书引起了广大干部群众的热议。“革命”这一历史性话题,除了法国历史学家托克维尔等人做过经典论述外,马克思、恩格斯两人的贡献最大,他们在《共产党宣言》、《国家与革命》等专著中创立了宏大的马克思主义革命理论,历史影响极其深远。作为一名以正统的马克思主义者或马克思主义“左派”自居的思想家,英国学者特里·伊格尔顿继承发扬前辈马克思主义者的研究成果,从革命与暴力的关系、革命目标实现的长期性等层面,言简意赅地对马克思主义革命理论进行了总结性阐释,其创新性观点对我们不无启示。 Recently, Comrade Wang Qishan recommended the book “The Old System and the Great Revolution” to participating experts after having discussed the symposium held by the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, which has aroused heated discussions among the cadres and masses. Marx and Engels made the most contribution to the historic issue of “revolution” except for the classical discourse by the French historian Tocqueville and others. They made great contributions in monographs such as the “Communist Manifesto” and “State and Revolution” In the creation of a grand theory of Marxist revolution, history has far-reaching impact. As an orthodox Marxist or Marxist “leftist” thinker, Terry Eagleton, a British scholar, inherits and develops the research results of the older Marxists. From the relationship between revolution and violence, the realization of the revolutionary goal Long-term and so on, concisely explained the Marxist revolutionary theory in a concise manner, and its innovative point of view inspired us.
