Magyar Lajos and Marxist Historiography in Republican China
The theory of the Asiatic mode of production is one of the most controversial topics in the history of Marxist scholarship,and so was Magyar,who was a leading figure in this debate.Despite diverse responses to Magyar's theory within the academic community of the Republican period,Chinese scholars had gradually formed a more homogeneous and stereotypical view on the issue.The main flaw in Magyar's thesis lies in its dislocation between theoretical construction and content analysis and its detachment from the realities of Chinese history.However,through criticizing his theory,Marxist scholars in China had reflected upon the relationship between the particularity of the Chinese path and the generality of world history and adjusted the balance between the two.This process had,in turn,promoted the adjustment and deepening the development of Marxist historiography in China.
