构建体系是当代马克思主义文论自我发展的必然要求。《马克思主义文艺理论》最大的贡献是在这方面进行了突破性的探索。它自觉承负了建构理论体系的使命,考量厘定了马克思主义文论的基本原则,营造了具有鲜明的马克思主义特征的文艺理论架构,重新整合了马克思主义文论发展史。 Constructing system is the inevitable requirement of self-development of contemporary Marxist literary theory. The greatest contribution of “Marxist theory of literature and art” is a breakthrough exploration in this area. It consciously assumed the mission of constructing a theoretical system, considered and determined the basic principles of Marxist literary theory, created a theoretical framework of literary theory with distinct characteristics of Marxism, and reintegrated the history of the development of Marxist literary theory.
