內容簡介 今天要如何解讀《宣言》? 伯曼(Marshall Berman)說:《宣言》是「第一部偉大的現代主義作品」(the first great modernist work of art) 馬克思與恩格斯於1848年2月出版《宣言》,距今已超過了一個半世紀。《宣言》是一個重要的政治文獻及歷史文獻…同時也是一部理論作品,從歷史唯物主義的觀點陳述階級鬥爭的理念,指出人類歷史就是一部階級鬥爭史。在此基礎上,《宣言》分析現代社會(或者稱之為「資產階級社會」或「布爾喬亞社會」)的特徵以及來龍去脈。就這一方面而言,《宣言》是一部分析現代性的作品,而它分析現代性主要是從階級的角度出發,資產階級乃現代社會及現代世界的創建者和主角。要理解現代社會(或現代性)必須理解資產階級;而要理解現代社會的未來則不僅要理解資產階級,也要理解無產階級。 ──黃瑞祺(導讀節錄) 本文短介出自五南圖書《共產黨宣言》
