When Mankind entered the 20th century, productivity gained tremendous growth. Accompanied by the development of productivity, Material wealth of society also enriched greatly, but on the other hand, the survival of the human condition is thought-provoking. Human race is in a deep cultural anxiety. Now the time is different from that when Marx wrote "Capital".The era of Material wealth of society also has been enriched greatly, but on the other hand, the development of productive forces, production relations have undergone significant changes. However, Marxism doesn't outdated, we still need Marxism, as a analysis of capitalism, the most influence of critical thought, Marxism is immediate. Whether "into Marx", "Approaching Marx" or "return to Marx", what we seek is not making great pure who can recite every word of Marx and Engels's Collected Works of "Marxist theorists". What we want is time Ambulance soldiers, and what we need to do is starting from the basic Marxist theory to analyze, criticize the current era of major problems.There is no doubt that the logic of the current era is the cultural logic. "politics economy critique" has turned to "the cultural and political criticism". Culture has risen to a high degree of social ontology. Overall departure from Marxism, in general, we find that Marx's theory has turned from political and economic critique to cultural criticism, and cultural critique of Western Marxism in the present era has became the contemporary view of Western Marxism.In this context, as Marxism's guardian in the Postmodern Context, in the maintenance of the validity of the premise of contemporary Marxism, Terry Eagleton looked from cultural, political, economic dimensions of culture, criticizing the vulgarization of culture, one-dimensional, material value of culture. This article is to start form three dimensions. The first chapter looked from the cultural and economic attributes, the political nature of cultural property. That the post-modern culture is the full surrender for commercialization of modern capitalist society, the full surrender for cynicism of modern capitalist society, and the unconscious left page of the civilized life. In the second Chapter we looked the cultural from vulgar, one-dimensional, materialistic point. In the third chapter, after Eagleton explained Marxist cultural critique of modern theory and classical Marxism, Frankfurt School, Jameson's theory of the relationship, we found the depth of its theory. Chapterâ…£examines Eagleton's culture theory in the development of Marxism in the history of foreign status of its inspiration to our country, looks forward to give us his thoughts, builds a socialist core value system, and strengthens traditional culture.
