In her CPKP talk, Zhang Shuangli will explore the interrelation of Hegelian Marxism and Marxist Hegelianism. Regarding “Hegelian Marxism”, she will start from the reconstruction of Georg Lukacs’ articulation of Hegelian Marxism in History and Class Consciousness, and then investigate as to how this framework has been differently adapted by German critical theorists (especially Horkheimer, Adorno, Habermas, and Honneth) in the 20th century and some of the Chinese scholars of critical Marxism in the last 4 decades. Based on this, Zhang Shuangli will then go on to explain how these two different approaches have brought about some difficulties for us in our attempts to reactivate Marxist resources to think about the deep contradictions within the complex modern society. With this as the background, she will argue that “Marxist Hegelianism” might be a more effective way to help us rethink the relationship between Marx and Hegel and to reactivate the Marxist resources in our dialogue about the crisis of modernity in the contemporary context.
