Research on Marxist Theory
Studies in Marxist Theory Content Summary Collection of Works by Young Scholars (2009 Volume): Studies in Marxist Theory Content Summary: An academic paradigm consists of the directions, objectives, methods, and evaluative standards universally followed in theoretical research and innovation. According to traditional interpretations within Chinese scholarship, an academic paradigm constitutes the "tradition of learning" and the "lineage of the Way" (xuetong daotong [1]), serving as an internal academic criterion. Borrowing from current popular cultural discourse, an academic paradigm reflects cultural self-awareness (wenhua zijue [2]) and constitutes an internal cultural quality.
