Abstract: Western Marxism attaches great importance to the reflection and discussion on the practical problems of capitalist society， and has formed a distinctive theoretical style and academic characteristics. Although to a certain extent， it is rational and positive， we have to realize that western Marxism has strong western centralism and it is also deeply influenced by idealism and presents the characteristics of fantastism. Moreover， their interpretation of Marxism has the tendency of diversification. Based on that， we should pay attention to the following three principles：a.dont indulge in textual “text interpretation”；b.resolutely avoid the tendency of “westernization”；c.stand on the Chinese position firmly. Only in this way can we give full play to its academic and theoretical value.

Key words: western Marxism, theoretical characteristics, modernity, survey, critique
