The dissertation is a study of "Marx-Engels Dichotomy" in the Western "Marxology." The important prerequisite is to clarify the reasons for the issue of the relationship between Marx and Engels,and grasp the perspectives of foreign scholars,especially those in the field of Western Marxism,the formation of "Dichotomy" research pattern and the evolution of its diachronic.On this premise,we clarify and refute the views of "Marx-Engels dichotomy" of western Marxist scholars.At last,we should reconsider the "Marx-Engels dichotomy" in Western "Marxology." In the struggle for the right to speak of Marxism,we should study better how we should uphold and develop Marxism and grasp the correct position and scientific methodof studying the relationship between Marx and Engels.Firstly,we trace the historical background of the relationship between Marx and Engels and elucidate the four views put forward by western scholars.On the one hand,some theorists in developed countries in Europe have put forward the viewpoints that "Engels does not equal Marx" and "return to true Marxism" based on the failure of proletarian revolution.On the other hand,some scholars doubt and refute the dominant "Marx-Engels dichotomy",believing that this naive belief obscures the ideological differences between Marx and Engels and leads to the inability to deeply penetrate their two thoughts separately.Marx and Engels relations issue is on the screen in this historical context.On the relationship between Marx and Engels ideology,Western scholars put forward four ideas that have great influence: the unanimous agreement between the qualitative similarities and the homogeneity between the homogeneity and the heterogeneous.Secondly,introduce the appearance of western "Marxology" and its "Marx-Engels dichotomy".The emergence of Western "Marxology" has its own specific social and historical background and cultural origins.The more important factors are the public publication of part of early Marx's works,the opposition to theso-called Stalinist political wave,the revival of the right-wing Social-Democratic forces and the expansion of the influence of "democratic" and "humane" socialism,the reevaluation of Hegel's Philosophy,the interpretationinfluenced by Lukacs' s History and Class Consciousness of Marx's theory of non-Marxian.The core view put forward by the Western "Marxology" scholars is that Marx and Marxism are basically not related or only very weak ties,the real founders of Marxism are Engels,and it is also due to Engels that it has become popular.Engels Deviated from Marx.Thirdly,the author discusses the main points of view of "Marx-Engels dichotomy" in Western “Marxology”."Marx-Engels dichotomy" to Western "Marxology" scholars mainly searches for the contradiction between Marx and Engels in terms of dialectics and historical materialism.In the field of dialectics,they hold that Marx's historical dialectics is opposed to Engels' dialectics of nature.In the field of historical materialism,the main representatives of western "Marxism",such as Lubel,Levin,Hook and McClellan,hold that Engels' s view of history is an extension of his view of mechanical materialism in the historical field.On a number of specific issues,such as the understanding of the Russian commune issue and the concept of practice,the Western "Marxology" holds that Marx and Engels also oppose each other.Fouthly,in response to the contradictions created by Western "Marxology" in dialectics and history,the paper responds and refutes.First,it is clarified that both Marx and Engels firmly believe in the objective existence of natural dialectics and make a common argument about dialectics of nature.Second,to clarify that Engels is not only a mechanical determinator of economy,but also always holds a critical attitude towards mechanical determinism.It is pointed out that Marx and Engels are exploring the two kinds of production theory was the foundation and deepening relationship,not the antagonistic relationship created by the Western "Marxology".Third,it points out the reasons that cause the differences between Marx and Engels onthe Russian commune and their internal qualities.Engels' s thoughts on practice,Engels' s practice and Marx's consistency are pointed out.Finally,I try to reflect on Marx-Engels' s "dichotomy" in the Western "Marxology" and draw lessons from it.To understand Engels' historical position in Marxism from the perspective of Marxist development history,and to elaborate Engels' contribution to Marxist philosophy,Marxist political economy and scientific socialism.Beware of the ideological purpose of dismembering Marxism behind the Marxist Marxist theory of the West.When studying Marx and Engels' ideological relations,we must stand on the correct position and use dialectical scientific methods to defend the unity and legitimacy of Marxism,and grasp it from an overall perspective that is the life-long communication and textual relationship between Marx and Engels,and the ideological relations between Marx and Engels.
