“Rereading Marx” has become a major global event since the turn of the 21st century. This is not a purely academic phenomenon; rather, it has profound socio-historical roots and reflects the inherent demands of theoretical development. Rereading Karl Marx’s writings in our new contemporary context requires a return to authoritative editions and source documents. Such an approach must be grounded in textual and historical analysis, integrating his basic tenets with the needs of the times. It is essential to clarify his inheritance and transcendence of the Western intellectual tradition and to analyze his critique of modern society alongside his exploration of a future one. This approach allows for a more comprehensive, objective, and accurate understanding of his thought. Simultaneously, this endeavor is conducive to the contemporary development of Marx’s thought and the advancement of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
