Features: The compilation and publication of the Twentieth Century Chinese Academic Compendium is a pioneering endeavor. It differs from encyclopedias, academic histories, and academic annuals. This Compendium adopts the format of an encyclopedic dictionary to create a unique academic "centennial chronicle," representing a novel exploration. While this exploration is not academic research but rather an academic summary, it must uphold a high scholarly standard; it must respect history, advance scientific development, disseminate truth, and critique pseudoscience and falsehoods. To avoid parochialism, this Compendium inclusively covers debates across disciplines and schools of thought, as long as they represent academic innovation. This volume introduces the research content in philosophy over the past century in the form of entries on discipline studies, thematic studies, academic figures, academic journals, and more. It includes research on Chinese philosophy, Eastern philosophy, Western philosophy, logic studies, and more.
