Features: Yin Haiguang, a student of the philosopher Jin Yuelin, was one of the most influential intellectuals in Taiwan during the 1950s and 1960s and holds an important position in the history of Chinese thought. His numerous articles and writings, which criticized authoritarian regimes and promoted democratic ideals, have profoundly influenced overseas intellectuals and the public with their deep thoughts, rigorous logic, and passionate language. This book is Yin Haiguang's most important work in his later years and a significant document in the history of modern thought, hailed by academia as "a new milestone in discussing cultural issues in China." The book employs concepts from Western social sciences (particularly cultural anthropology) and logical analysis methods to discuss the changes in China's historical culture over the past century.
