Abstract: The Transcript of FENG Qi's Lectures on Dialectical Materialism is the record of a series of lectures given by FENG Qi at East China Normal University from February 1956 to May 1957. It has not yet been included in the second and expanded edition of the Collected Works of Feng Qi(11 vols.) published in 2016. Compared with other contemporaneous versions of the system of dialectical materialism, the Transcript shows FENG's own personal style and great originality in both integrating Marxist, Chinese and Western philosophical traditions and expounding on some fundamental principles of dialectical materialism. It could be treated as FENG's first systematic achievement in the sinicization of Marxist philosophy. It is also FENG's first attempt to construct his own system of philosophy due to the fact that it includes preliminary discussions on some core issues in his "doctrine of wisdom".

Key words: FENG Qi, Transcript of FENG Qi's Lectures on Dialectical Materialism, sinicization of Marxist philosophy, doctrine of wisdom
