摘　　要：Lenin＇s theory of imperialism, which was based on a combination of Marxist theory with active reference to and dialectical critique of the theories of classical imperialism current at the time, provides an empirical analysis of the historical logic and laws of motion of capitalism. It realizes the sublation of theory and ideology by means of critical, explanatory and constructive logic, displaying a unique theoretical originality. Lenin＇s theory of imperialism offers a theoretical reflection on the development of capitalism and its historical trends; it is a practical response to the world structural contradictions arising from imperialism, an epochal reflection that vigorously explores and constructs the value claims of a new civilization and provides in-depth Marxist view of world history. The methodology and general principles of Lenin＇s study of imperialism are based on the materialist view of history. They are not out of date, nor are the propositions in his theory of imperialism, based as they are on research into monopoly. At the same time as it declared war on the values, systems and practices of the old world, Lenin＇s theory provided a completely new cognitive method, philosophical attitude and ideal values for the future society. This has become the precious wealth of mankind, wealth that transcends historical time and space.在马克思主义理论和同时期古典帝国主义理论积极借鉴和辩证批判相结合的基础上,列宁帝国主义论通过对资本主义历史逻辑和运动规律进行实证分析,从批判逻辑、解释逻辑和建构逻辑层面,实现了理论与思想的升华,具有独具特色的理论原创性。列宁帝国主义论是对资本主义发展及其历史走向的理论反思,是对帝国主义引起的世界结构性矛盾的实践回应,是努力探索和建构新文明社会价值诉求的时代反映,是对马克思主义世界历史观的思想深化。列宁基于唯物史观对帝国主义研究的方法论和一般原则没有过时,以垄断研究为基石的帝国主义理论命题没有过时,在向旧世界价值观、制度和实践宣战的同时,为未来社会提供了崭新的认知方法、哲学态度和价值理想,成为跨越历史时空的人类宝贵财富。
