Features: In the 1930s, the renowned scholar Chen Xujing wrote The View of Eastern and Western Cultures immediately following The Way Out of Chinese Culture, continuing to explore the path for modern Chinese culture. In The View of Eastern and Western Cultures, Chen Xujing delves into richer theoretical resources and historical materials, offering a more in-depth and detailed comparative discussion of Eastern and Western cultures addressed in The Way Out of Chinese Culture. His writing spans (past and present) and covers (China and the world). With a fluent and extensive 100,000 words, Chen Xujing continues his relentless pursuit of cultural truth amidst the praise and criticism of various cultures. Written in the early 1930s, this book is a significant representative of Chen Xujing’s cultural and academic thought. More importantly, through this work, the author clearly articulated his social and cultural (:)——the theory of complete Westernization—in a resolute manner.
In the early part of the book, Chen Xujing dedicates substantial space to a critical analysis of the retrogressive and moderate factions in the cultural circles of the time. He argues that the retrogressive faction’s ideology is a continuation of China’s long-standing retrogressive and Confucian traditions, offering no solution to the pressing issues of Eastern and Western cultures. Meanwhile, the moderate faction’s approach is relatively conservative and fails to address the current situation. The theory of complete Westernization, discussed next, is the book’s central focus. Through numerous facts from modern Chinese history, Chen Xujing demonstrates that the Chinese people were gradually inclined toward fully adopting Western culture in attitude, which indeed happened, and that modern Western culture was the developmental trend of world culture in the modern era. Ultimately, he concludes that only by completely adopting and adapting to modern world culture can modern China qualify as a member of the modern world.
