This paper inquires into the generative logic of Marx’s oriental social theories. It proposes that the Asian mode of production is the starting point of Marx’s oriental social theories. The Asian mode is not only the social form for the Eastern society, but also the ubiquitous social form at early stage of human societies. Marx always explores oriental society and its way of development under the background of world history. The real significance of Marx’s idea passing through the "Caudine Forks" , is that it furnishes us with a scientific method for researches of the social development courses of developing countries, especifically, the intricate dialectics of material forces of production and their relations of production against the background of national and international existence. Marx’s oriental social theory has the inclination of humanistic concerns, while setting its theoretical roots in a grand historical background. Therefore, Marx believes that it is a tragedy that oriental society makes a certain historical progress at a disastrous cost.
The transformation of capitalism from industrial society to post-industrial society,the logic end of western-Marxism and the rise of post-modernism,are the historical context and thought base of post-Marxism.There are three kinds of theoretic logic of post-Marxism:using the post-modernism against Marxism;using post-modernism to deconstruct Marxism and at the same time to reconstruct Marxist critical theory;or using post-Marxism as the contemporary form of Marxism.Post-Marxists catch hold of the changes of capitalist society and try to understand history and thought from disciplines and find new liberal strange,but transforming Marx’s practical-critical spirit into discourse revolutionary theory embodies the helpless feeling of intellectuals in contemporary capitalism.
