Since the middle of1970s, the leftwing politics began to fall and the right-wingforces in western countries began to revive, at the same time, conservative policiesstart to return with the recession of structuralist Marxism.Under this background, It isjust the strengthened common suspect to scientific socialism which made someleft-wing theorists criticize marxist principle directly.During this time, the westernpost-structuralism and postmodernism have deconstructed the grand narrative premiseof the overall marxist liberation commitment.Laclau, murphy is the flag-bearer of Post-Marxism,the works named"Hegemonyand socialist strategy" which they published in1985’s is a milestone in the study ofpost-Marxist theory. This book focuses on the core concept of "hegemony" and thereconstruction of the framework of the theory of " new hegemony", and pointed outthat the crisis of contemporary leftist theory and its primary causes, it thinks that weshould reconsider a series of principles, such as Marxism Essence of economicreductionism, give up the principle of class struggle and its subject applications. Weshould use the power of the new social movements to achieve the connection betweenthe radical democracy and multiple democratic political. Laclau and Mouffe thinkthat the method in which they treat the traditional Marxism was completely different..They will try to revive the prerequisition which can make the discourse of Marxismpossible to make marxist theoretical field more diversified, more seasonable,not thatkind of history which marxism-leninism had described as the "integrateeccentricity"Because classical Marxism had presupposed the existence of "universal"subject and turned social concepts into a rational, transparent order. It can not takefull advantage of these differences between the sports consultation They consideredthat the so-called "political superstructure"was wrong and argued that it has the statusof social ontology. This is because that the specific relationship between theconfrontation of the reality and the dialectical contradictions can not explain the"social confrontation",and the confrontation is not an objective relationship, but arelation that shows all the objectivite limits. Society has built around its limits,while these limits is confrontational and this concept must be understood literally.They believe that the completion of a thorough and comprehensive humanliberation with a united universal class subject is an unexpected social-changingmodel, After some re-interpretation of radicalization of some concepts of Marxism,and some transformation or conversional usage of post-modern theory,theyestablished a new liberation model within the identity of diversity and the politics ofradical democracy bonding as a beyond Marxism in general of liberated and thedomination of essentialism. Claudius, murphy’s hegemony of the post-Marxist theoryis the structuralism and the constructivism of organic union, It is a theoretical tryabout the politics of difference and identity politics to built of the compatibility.Theystill believe in the value orientation of the modern political, such as freedom anddemocracy, mass political struggle, Independent and liberation. According to"hegemony and socialist strategy" by Laclau and Murphy,this text has deptly analyzedthe discourse theory of Laclau, Murphy’s post-Marxism and elaborated on theoricalcontent and constructural meaning of their post-Marxist hegemony bonding.It hasmake a useful theoretical reference and philosophical practices of post-Marxism underthe ideological framework of our country.
