Abstract: Abstract Because one of the original purposes of writing this book is to analyze and discuss the evolution and logic of economic paradigm in the intelligent era based on the theory of digital economics, and try to build a set of framework for re-understanding the future economic and social development on the basis of Marx’s thought of political economics, so as to form a new comprehensive economic paradigm for understanding the development of digital economy. Therefore, the first chapter sorts and discusses the philosophical criticism of modern economic thought and how to think and understand the problems faced by traditional economic theory after the advent of the intelligent era. What should be emphasized is that we are concentrating on raising questions and putting forward thinking paths in this book. But they are not final conclusions or answers. On the one hand, the era of great changes in the world economy we are experiencing need more people of insight to discuss and think about the basic principles and future direction of social development. Days of mechanistic thinking with a unified approach and paradigm to understand the nature of the world have long gone. On the one hand, as a discipline, digital economics is in its infancy. It will take at least a few decades to build its theories and gradually formed its logical coherence and systematic achievements. I pursue an “evolutionary” scholarship and believe “natural selection” is also in line with the common sense in academic and ideological circles.
