“Legitimacy”, which involves a deep reflection, examination and understanding of the nature, subject-matter, function and patterns of development of Marxist philosophy, is one of substantial contents in relation to the profound culture-practice turn of modern philosophy. The concept of legitimacy embodies a “reflective-styled” recounting and moral pursuit of “acceptability” and “sense of self-respect”, which offers a horizon of effective interpretation to analyze the justifiable crisis in face of Marxist philosophy in modernistic context in terms of “examination” and “construction”. The establishment of legitimacy discourse doesn’t result from the monopoly of ideological discourse but from “dialogue”. Therefore, it is a proper and reasonable choice to face and remove the justifiable crisis in study of Marxist philosophy based on the evolution of current and future ideological subject in terms of cultural “publicity”.
