At the beginning of 21st Century, there is a relatively reasonable and integral elaborating structure of Marxist Philosophical Studies developing in the first five sessions of Marxian Philosophy Forum, which is made up of four coordinate points, such as the contemporary value of Marxian thought, the elaboration of Marxian classical works, the critique of developed industrial society and the consideration of Chinese social development. The problem is that this elaborating structure has not been fully developed. In my opinion, there are several weak links and disjunctions within, such as the separation of the developing contemporary value of Marxian thought from the elaboration of Marxian classical works, the divorce of Chinese problems from global ones, the lack of deep historical and cultural dimensions in the theoretical research, etc. To improve this elaborating structure, an organic relation must be made up among the four coordinate points of the elaborating structure of Chinese Marxist philosophy studies; and the deep historical and cultural dimensions must be established in theoretical research of Marxist Philosophy.
The philosophy of culture is not a special branch of philosophy about concrete cultural phenomena, but a kind of philosophical paradigm in researching the mechanism of social history. It accepts the ideas of the laws of historical development, but holds a negative attitude to the abstract conception of history which focuses on the economic necessities and ignores the plurality of historical development. The philosophy of culture maintains that the laws of human history must be found in human practical activities and life world, and the inter cultural mechanism should be explored according to the non-determinedness, selectiveness and micro-mechanism of cultural modes, in this way, it attempts to form a conception of history which establishes a "fusion of horizons" between the micro and the macro, the abstract and the concrete, and which embodies the cultural varieties and historical varieties.
