湯姆·奈恩作為英國新馬克思主義的杰出代表,他在繼承馬克思主義民族理論傳統和唯物史觀的基礎上,通過對民族主義的動力機制、核心特征以及與社會主義的必然聯系的分析探研,勾勒出現代主義范式的民族主義哲學思想,產生了廣泛影響。

As an outstanding representative of the British New Marxism,Tom Narin inherited the tradition of Marxist national theory and historical materialism. Based on these theories,by means of analyzing nationalism’s dynamic mechanism,core features and inevitable connection with socialism,he outlined a modernist philosophical paradigm of nationalism,which has exerted a broad influence.
