From80’s of last century, along with the "post industrial era", capital expansionlogic by the rapid development of information technology, the mass media’s rapidexpansion, the desire to generate control--through the capital of information-power-technology-depth of desire colonial-broke the barriers between countries, ethnicgroups and then seeped to social life each aspect. Therefore, in the socialist movement,on the one hand, capitalism, with the commercialization of new, bureaucracy and theexpansion of the welfare system of continuous improvement, the working classdifferentiation and digestion, once the working class large-scale anti capitalistmovement gradually subsided, and the left wing thought in distress; at the same time,the multiple heterogeneity of capitalism against emerging: female (right) doctrine, gayfreedom, movement, racial equality Greenpeace etc.. On the other hand, the SovietUnion and other socialist countries, socialist process is deadlocked, the Marx doctrinein crisis. In this context, Laclau and Mouffe think that the traditional doctrine of Marxhas been unable to deal with these "come unexpectedly changes", in order to adapt tothe development of new socialist movement, they put forward the so-called canachieve a Copernicus style revolution "after the Marx doctrine" theory of Marx’stheory.This paper aims at a systematic and in-depth study Laclau and Mouffe "Marxdoctrine" theory main content, key points; further study the birth of the "Marxdoctrine" theory background and theoretical background and the two internalassociation; summary "Mark doctrine" theory of the value and significance of thetheory and reflection defect. Therefore, this paper is divided into four chapters. Thetheoretical background of society, the first chapter mainly inspects Laclau and Mouffeand thought of the inherent logic, analysis the theoretical views. The relationshipbetween Marx’s and Marx’s second chapter study. The core content and the viewpointof Marx’s theory of third chapter study. The fourth chapter mainly aims at rethinking Laclau and Mouffe Marx theory defect and give Marx feminist standpoint criticizedand response.Laclau and Mouffe are in the rebel Hegel (including the traditional doctrine ofMarx), analytic philosophy has a profound influence on the double background--between modern and postmodern grew up in. It should be said, Laclau and Mouffe"Marx doctrine" discourse hegemony theory and multiple radical democratic politicsis very innovative and enlightening postmodern theory, they are partly integratedstructuralism and post structuralism, modern theory and modern theory of coreelements, such as Ленин, Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, differentthinkers theory method and the core ideas as widely as possible and cautious into theirminds, so as to create a self after Hegel and Marx the most present a splendid sightwords and political theory. The theory of the Marx doctrine is a essentialism,reductionism, the economic center of historical commitment of ontology theory and toreject, its main contents:①to modernity, especially freedom, democracy and otherelements of Enlightenment thinking, take them as an unfinished inherit;②rationalism the basal essentialism against prior in the traditional philosophy, thecentralism;③after drawing post structuralism theory in modern tendency, advocateof non anthropocentrism, non essentialism, pluralism; but show the opposition toPostmodernism in fragmentation of nihilism or cynicism.Because Laclau and Mouffe is the dual position of Marx’s structuralism based onpost and, makes their discourse theory also has the aracteristics of deconstruction andconstruction of this very tension, decided to Laclau and Mouffe’s theory has aninherent difference. In fact, Laclau and Mouffe completed the construction of thediscourse theory of society, of the subject through the regression Hegel’s potential,and Copernicus revolution through to misreading the manner of Marx called Marxtheory actually is to return Marx to realize the theory of revolutionary, deconstruction.Therefore. Use Deleuze and Guattari’s way of expression, is the intrinsic purport hisphilosophical method inherent implication and philosophical temperament, Laclauand Mouffe deconstruction construction of this "modern and post modern" between"the plane of immanence" on the show Hegel and Marx’s double characters. But the overall defects due to modern theory, Laclau and Mouffe because too afraid of "base"to "suture" Hegel and Marx, which leads to a difference in pursuit of multivariatedecision discourse theory because of the lack of an overall decision in "emptyuniversality based on". Therefore, under the leadership of the radical and pluralpolitical discourse is not beyond Marx, instead of becoming a radical bourgeoisdemocratic revolution variants.To sum up, this paper thinks, claiming to "take hold a post Marx doctrine" Laclau andMouffe, despite their extensive and careful from postmodern theory to construct a nonreductionist, anti fundamentalism radical democratic theory and political efforts, acertain sense provided us with a look at the analysis, the criticism of capitalism, newsocial problems perspective and way of thinking, but in essence is just borrow theMarx doctrine or Marx’s name to implement a radical bourgeois democratic revolution.True adhere to the Marx doctrine or the construction of a post Marx theory is not withMarx’s "critique of positivism" phase determination and heavy back to Hegel "noncritical positivism" arms and can not eliminate the social antagonism simply deliveredto the discourse practice Capitalism Ideology to solve. For Marx nationalists, weadmit multiple differences, also with an open mind and understanding of multipledifference under the political identity--this is the Marx revolution in the meaning ofthe title, but in the "criticizing the old world and discovering the new world" in theprocess, based on "the history and achievement of" Xiao Siwei we must alwaysadhere to, a real and solid position in order to avoid the subjectivity to form fuzzyready to accept either course, only under this premise, diversity and difference not justfor repetitive visions, the logic of capital led consumption desire and technologymedia he seeks and creates only this, socialist democracy is real, Possible, inevitable.
