现代社会最重要的本质属性就是现代性,而现代性又包含自由、理性两个基本要素。西方马克思主义学者认为,现代社会的种种危机正是现代性的基本要素发生偏差使然,因此其现代性的批判理论也是对社会现代性的批判。鉴于此,要想真正认识现代社会的现代性,把握现代社会的社会性,必须重视西方马克思主义现代性批判理论的学习探讨。 Modern society is the most important essential attribute of modernity, while modernity also contains two basic elements of freedom and rationality. Western Marxist scholars believe that the crisis in modern society is the deviation of the basic elements of modernity. Therefore, the critique of its modernity is also a critique of social modernity. In view of this, in order to truly understand the modernity of modern society and grasp the sociality of modern society, we must pay attention to the study and discussion of the critical theory of modern Western Marxism.
