特里·伊格尔顿是当代英国著名的马克思主义理论批评家,但是却因为批评理论不成体系、涉猎范围太广而饱受诟病。他的这种批评风格是由他的爱尔兰文化渊源和剑桥求学经历、西方马克思主义学术发展造成的。而且作为一名经历了文学批评由结构主义到解构主义再到文化转向的学者,他能跟随时代步伐,使自己的批判领域横跨文学、政治与文化,本身就是在履行西方马克思主义者批判不公的社会职责,是在为建立理想的社会主义社会而奋斗。“9·11”之后,伊格尔顿的批评理论更多地关注西方大国主义对第三世界的欺压以及贫富不均、环境污染等问题,他指出马克思主义是唯一可以指导资本主义走出危机的方法。只有真正消灭阶级差距和贫富差距,才能建立理想的社会主义社会。 Terry Eagleton is a well-known contemporary British Marxist critics of critics, but because of criticism of the theory is not a system, covered a wide range of subject and criticism. His style of criticism is caused by the origins of his Irish culture and the experience of studying in Cambridge, as well as the academic development of Western Marxism.
