This book comprehensively applies Hegel's historical morphology and Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony, placing this movement within the historical context of capitalist development with a broad vision and pioneering perspective. It defines and reduces it to a self-revolution of the bourgeoisie in eliminating its own "otherness," and based on this, re-evaluates the spiritual legacy of the 1960s. The author overturns Daniel Bell's presupposition of "capitalist cultural contradictions," arguing that the bourgeoisie's cultural conservatism actually stems from a lack of cultural hegemony. The book further argues that the counterculture movement of the 1960s, by advocating cultural pluralism, broke down the long-standing cultural hierarchy in Western society, propelling society from "modern" to "postmodern."
本书综合运用黑格尔的历史形态学和葛兰西的文化领导权理论, 以宏阔的视野和开拓性的视角将这一运动置于资本主义发展的历史脉络中, 将其定义并还原为资产阶级消除自身“他性”的自我革命, 并基于此重估60年代的精神遗产。作者颠覆了丹尼尔·贝尔对“资本主义文化矛盾”的预设, 认为资产阶级在文化上的保守实则来源于文化领导权的缺失, 而60年代的反文化运动通过倡导文化多元主义, 打破了西方社会长期存在的文化等级制, 推动社会完成了从“现代”到“后现代”的转型。
