Features: The relationship between the individual and the group, and the individual and society, is a fundamental issue in human culture. The debate between the collective and the individual is the basic theoretical approach of traditional Chinese philosophical thought on this issue. Against the backdrop of the dual themes of enlightenment and salvation, as well as the intersection and conflict of Chinese and Western cultures, the understanding of the relationship between the collective and the individual underwent profound transformation in modern Chinese intellectual circles. This book explores this transformative process from the perspectives of metaphysics, ethics, and social and political philosophy in Chinese philosophy, revealing the achievements, shortcomings, and historical impact of the transformation in modern Chinese views on the collective and the individual.
