A History of Modern Chinese Philosophy
摘要
This book is the first English-language history of modern Chinese philosophy, covering the decades from the late 19th century through the first half of the 20th century. During this period, Chinese philosophers offered valuable insights on a variety of issues, and made significant efforts to bridge the gaps between Chinese and Western philosophy. Their critical reflections on classical Chinese philosophy, their comparative studies of Chinese and Western philosophical traditions, and their constructions of their own philosophies, are all worthy of deeper study.
Modern Chinese philosophy is a treasure-trove that has not been much explored in the West. Indeed, the author of this book asserts that modern Chinese philosophy has directly affected current Chinese thought and character in ways that ancient Chinese philosophy has not.
This book appeals to graduate students and researchers in Chinese philosophy and contemporary Chinese culture, as well general readers who are interested in Chinese civilization. A History of Modern Chinese Philosophy is an indispensable resource for anyone who seeks to understand contemporary China.
