Paper Keywords: Cultural Criticism of Western Marxist cultural
Abstract: In today's China who is in a traditional agricultural civilization and the industrial civilization of the rift between the two periods, is in the cracks of traditional and modern. In this modern historical process of cultural transformation, we discuss the problem of advanced Culture should not be mud structure in the traditional Marxist view of Culture, should be properly learn the cultural outlook of Western Marxism, the author of Marxism from the West on theory, the interpretation of "Three Represents" advanced Culture and discourse, to a period of our Culture building a whole new perspective.

200 () on February Qiao, Jiang for the first time put forward the "Three Represents" thought, this thought was put forth, it launched a study in the upsurge of academic theory, scholars from different angles, deep thinking people on this analysis, summarized the views of these scholars, we can easily find one thing in common: that the thought is Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory is the same strain, that is the Marxist scholars on productivity, Culture, discussion about the people traced their roots, and such Research is quite comprehensive, I tried on Western Marxism theory, the interpretation of "Three Represents" on behalf of advanced culture, to a period of "three represents" a new Research study paradigm.

First, the "culture" defined
Kant said: "Everything needs a concept of knowledge, even if this concept is not complete or is unclear, however, the concept, from the formal point of view, will always be a universal, rules of role play something." Culture " long term, the Chinese "culture" comes from the <<as speech>>: "civilization as, the humanities are also ... .... we look at the humanities, in order into the world." Humanities, is the people's thinking and behavior out of civilization and culture is in accordance with the laws of human self-enlightenment world, the pursuit of good and the beautiful people rising level of civilization. culture more general term concepts, different Researchers from different angles to do different definition of "cultural creativity than we've ever I believe there are even broader and more profound meaning. human life is not based on the arrangements of nature, but cultural forms and habits formed. As we study history, not natural, or even the first person to survive in the culture is in. "
1. Marxist philosophy of "culture" means
"Culture" in terms of Marxist philosophy from the broad and narrow sense. General culture is one of the results of the activities on purpose, but also cultural and social customs, customs, habits and all the "humanization" things; narrow ideological or cultural ideology refers to only include the concept of production-related and mental shape. that Marxism, social being determines social consciousness, the economic base determines the superstructure, culture as an important part of the superstructure by the society's material productive forces and relations of production decisions, what kind of productive forces and relations of production have what kind of culture, culture is a reflection of the relationship between productivity and production, while the material culture of social productive forces and relations of production have a certain reaction, it to promote, facilitate or impede the progress of material productive forces of society and social relations of production changes. classical Marxist term of culture is "civilized", "mental production" and "spiritual life" concept "ideology" concept even the "superstructure" carried out the scope of the concept.

2. Western Marxist definition of culture
Schools of Western Marxism and the many characters, the author of an early representative of Western Marxism and the Frankfurt School as an example to analyze. (1) Early Western Marxism "culture" position. Western Marxism is also that cultural and material production associated, but they are more stressed the role of cultural awareness that is not in the social development and cultural subordination, and cultural changes in the social relations of production, such as the proletarian revolution, has a pivotal role, that the proletarian class Lukacs generate awareness of vital importance for the impact of the proletarian revolution, when the objective, that is, economic and political conditions are ripe for revolution and proletarian class consciousness level of the decision to become a key factor in the success of the revolution, also pointed out the overall process of proletarian revolution, the revolution in consciousness is at the core position. (2) The Frankfurt School of "culture" of the position. Frankfurt School in the highly developed science and technology, material products a richer, more stable rule of the Western capitalist society, the economic base As background, the culture extract, as "no longer purely economic base of the superstructure, but rather something that can support the status quo." divided into two cultural sense of culture, a culture as a social life, The other is a purely spiritual sense of the culture, the former refers to the overall life of the practice, practice, institution, material products and processes, which refers to the art, philosophy, religion, "which is said to be 'alienated' person's' human pursuit. "
Defined from the culture, we can easily find the year in which the classical era of Marxism, the capitalist social, political, and economic contradictions are prominent, and therefore more focused on the perspective of political and economic fields, much of the cultural discourse, and Western Marxism Marxism is not only adhere to the value of the position of Marxism, and timely change theory perspective, focusing on cultural studies, this shift has reference to us, at this stage our country is in a critical period of social transition, the interaction of various trends of thought, so that we In advance of the complex contradictions and difficulties encountered, and therefore the rapid development of economic and political circumstances, cultural issues should be taken seriously, I think, at this stage we need the help of traditional Marxism and the theory of Marxism in the West to study Chinese development.

Second, Western Marxism, "Cultural Criticism" theory can learn from
Culture in the Western Marxist theory is a very important part of the founders of Marxism from the West of Reification Lukacs, Gramsci's cultural hegemony, to the Frankfurt School of social critical theory, to list the Philippines V Seoul's Critique of Everyday Life, Bloch philosophical and utopian hope the spirit of Reich's psychoanalytic theory, and both contain the idea of Cultural Criticism, seen through a cultural critique of Western Marxism has always been.


1. Recalling the process of reform and opening up is not difficult to find, 30 years of our government gradually opens the non-governmental economic and cultural activities of control, a strong civil society is gradually formed in China. But with the depth of reform and opening, a number of corrupt values, way of life through various channels into the daily lives of our citizens and affect their way of thinking and values. In this case, how to maintain the stable development of the socialist system we do? Western Marxist scholars, GE Lancey that the proletariat should not only master the country's political leadership, but also master the cultural leadership of civil society, the ideological guidance of the public is very important, therefore, the establishment of cultural leadership should be not be ignored in China's modernization one aspect, and we in the establishment of ideological and cultural leadership and advocacy for, the content shall be true and reliable, with a pragmatic attitude and create benefits for the people to enable them to appreciate from personal experience the superiority of the socialist system, so as to achieve the purpose of ideological advocacy. Chinese Communist Party is the leading core of China's socialist cause, the cause of China's modernization leader in building a harmonious society, promote the comprehensive development process, there must be "total revolutionary concept of" thinking, Gramsci stressed that all aspects of social change, including not only economic and political, but also cultural, consciousness, psychological, social relations and other aspects. reposted elsewhere in the Research Papers Download http://www.hi138.com 2 . technical reason people not only lost its critical dimension, but also resulted in culture negative factors were eliminated, and cultural alienation occurred, become special commodity. "market economy system is by no means purely economic movement, It is in fact a social process of comprehensive modernization, it is not only a fundamental transformation of economic operation mechanism and mode of economic growth, and cause the entire operating system, the rationalization of society and democratization process, especially for the most profound changes in society, The Loss of traditional cultural patterns that caused the old and new cultural patterns and conflicts in the spirit of Chinese and foreign cultures. n the social effects of science and technology, and social situation of the human problem of modernization, we should focus on current issues of concern to this for the Western Marxist a profound exposition.

3. Four in one building concept. We are pursuing the idea of social construction is the socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural, and social construction of the development. Modernization is a real, material of construction process , but also an invisible, spiritual civilization construction process, if the spirit of the building and construction materials can not match each other, will cause the unhealthy development of the society. At present our society money worship, hedonism, one-sided pursuit of profit and other social ills still rare, a variety of ideas and values, cultural awareness of the co-existence, members of the community in the ideals, beliefs, values, moral values and so face a variety of choices. Therefore, in establishing and improving the socialist market economy in should strive to build a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the mainstream society and leading role to guide the various non-mainstream culture in favor of social stability and progress of civilization aspects of development, is currently the primary stage of socialism is the face ideological and cultural fields challenges.

C, Western Marxism and Interpretation of "advanced culture" of the meaning of
1 "Three Represents" Background of the party in the summary of 80 years and basic experience in the course of struggle, to show the difficult task of the new century and a bright future when the proposed .20 Drastic Change in the early 90 century, the socialist cause unprecedented Great twists and turns, which raises awareness and reflection of our party, "In addition to political, economic and other reasons, the ruling party and the masses in the ideological changes occurred, ideological confusion is also a very important reason. the history and reality have shown that a society no common spiritual support and as a basis for the ideological stability is difficult to maintain social and political stability. "This is the experience of the former Soviet Union learn from, but our present and future will be a long time commitment to modern market economy, the development of modern industrial civilization and the construction of modern society, this is the historical process we are not abandoned by the world and the only way out, but no system, civilization has two sides, the modern market economy and industrial civilization has brought unlimited wealth and achievements, but also a materialized and the alienation of people placed in front of the world, that we must be clear that China is in the Western countries under different historical conditions of modernization, we need to modernize it from the day to consciously limit side effects, the only way we can avoid detours, people riding in the shortest time real world power.

2. In the 30 years of reform and opening practice, the process of modernization in China, despite many problems and difficulties, but we must recognize that modernization is the only way we are. We must uphold the modern spirit, in the development of modern market economy and under the conditions of modern industrial civilization handle the relationship between material and spiritual civilization, the realization of economic, political, and cultural harmony.

We have access to material wealth level, the results of excellence at the same time, mental preparation may seem insufficient, in the spiritual life and even some aspects of extreme scarcity, belief in the utilitarian, value orientation of the disorder, the empty space or clear the mind or secretly devouring the fruits of modernization in the material level, but also proliferation of spiritual insensitivity of human existence were buried in the daily intercourse with the matter. "alienation of the structure and physico-chemical mechanism has penetrated into all areas of activity of people, not only traditional political power and economic strength is still under the rule of power, and ideology, technical rationality, loss of public culture have become oppressive cultural forces, the subject of human digestion power of alienation. "
Western Marxist alienation of capitalism had a profound revelations, pointing out that the field of material life, social life, plenty of material based on the new plaque lack the spirit of the cost of upgrading the level of consumption of a false pseudo-culture and cultural industries The dominant cost, resulting in creative literary and artistic works, critical and imaginative shrink and even disappear, commercial operation of the culture industry not only led to vulgarization of culture, but also through the vulgarization of public taste with cultural adaptation to As people expose inner emotional life and talk time are all of the unified model with the style of the culture industry; in man and nature, man and society and the field of interpersonal relations, the nature of capital led to fierce competition. accounted for in the technical reason competition-driven society, leading to deterioration of the natural environment, man and society, between tension confrontation, destruction of man and nature, man and society, a harmonious relationship between people. To this end, Western Marxism advocates claim to re-establish a new economic model, limiting consumption, lower production, reversing the waste of resources, environmental pollution, ecological imbalance of the trend, easing people and society, man and nature, between people at daggers drawn. all of these aspects of discourse For us to develop a modern market economy and has a warning.

From a cultural perspective on the social life of the deep-seated issues, provide answers to solve practical problems, as the current philosophy, social science workers face new challenges. "Promote the modernization of China from the point of view, we should be on the West a comprehensive study of Marxism and the specific aspects of their combination. China has committed to four in one society - economic, political, social construction, cultural construction should be strengthened, in particular, should be enhanced to be said of the general culture, and strengthening the reference to different theories.
