| Summary: | In Marxism and Religion leading Chinese scholars unfold before our eyes theoretical explorations of religion in present-day China. In addition, they along with senior cadres superintending religious affairs strenuously explain why the Marxist view of religion still has relevance to living religions in a country undergoing deep changes unleashed by the late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening-up policies.<br> <br> Mistakenly perceived by so many westerners as outdated and dogmatic quasi-scholarly work in the service of communist regime's propaganda, studies selected here are brainchildren of a group of creative and reform-minded scholars and cadres who endeavor to uphold Marxist traditions while innovatively sinicizing them, hoping that their efforts will contribute to the ruling party's ideological reconstruction.<br> <br> <br> <br> Contributors include: Fang Litian, Gao Shining, Gong Xuezeng, He Qimin, Jin Ze, Li Xiangping, Lü Daji, Wang Xiaochao, Wang Zuo'an, Ye Xiaowen, Zhu Xiaoming, and Zhuo Xinping.<br> <br> |
