Sinicized Marxism in the Global Philosophical Discourse

The subject of this study is Sinicized Marxism within the global philosophical discourse of the twenty-first century. The object of the study is the contemporary forms of development of Marxist philosophy under the conditions of transformation of the world order, the rise of China, and the crisis of Western-centric universal theories. The author examines the relationship between Sinicized Marxism and Neo-Marxism, the role of the state and practice in Marxist theory, the significance of the Chinese philosophical tradition, as well as the concept of a “community with a shared future for mankind.” Particular attention is paid to how Sinicized Marxism combines historical materialism, civilizational specificity, systems thinking, and the idea of global dialogue, thereby forming its own model of universalism in contemporary Chinese philosophy and political theory. The paper also reveals its possible influence on world philosophical thought, international theoretical debates, and the reinterpretation of the Marxist legacy. The methodological basis of the study includes comparative analysis, the historical-philosophical approach, discourse analysis of contemporary concepts of Marxism, interpretation of texts by Chinese and Western authors, as well as a comparative study of the categories of universalism, state, practice, and civilizational identity. The novelty of the study lies in considering Sinicized Marxism not as a regional version of Marxist theory, but as an independent model of its contemporary existence within global philosophical discourse. A special contribution of the author is the comparison of Sinicized Marxism with twenty-first century Neo-Marxist currents through the categories of practice, state, tradition, and universalism. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: Sinicized Marxism preserves the transformative scale of Marxist philosophy, combines historical materialism with the Chinese philosophical tradition, and forms a dialogical type of universalism. The concept of a “community with a shared future for mankind” is revealed as the key expression of this synthesis and as a possible center for the reinterpretation of Marxism in the twenty-first century. This makes it possible to clarify its significance for contemporary world philosophical thought today.
