The Peculiarity and Contemporary Significance of Karl Marx's Critical Reflection on Modernity

Karl Marx's critique on the modernity has a unique field of vision and dimension,which is different from the other critical theories.Based on the historical materialism,Marx's historical critique does not linger at the conceptual level,as Hegel and many post-modern theorists have,but pierces into the sensible perspective of material,and realistically transcends the modernity itself.Karl Marx analyzes the fundamental and the internal logic of modernity in the dimension of capital,from which we are endowed with a direction to transcend the capitalist modernity and an important methodological guidance to explore the new models of modernity.Just because of the unique dimension,Karl Marx remains unsurpassable.The great upsurge in studying Das Capital since the U.S.financial crisis broke out just exemplifies that Marx's critical theory still has great vitality.
