Features: Knowledge, ideas, and thoughts from the West have had a significant impact on modern Chinese thought. The 14 essays collected in this book primarily discuss such issues. These discussions cover the influence of Western thought, such as evolutionism, mutualism, and experimentalism, on modern Chinese thought, as well as the spread of Western Renaissance culture in China and the impact of World War I on Chinese thought and culture. They also address the Chinese reception and rejection of Western learning during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the cultural policy adjustments made by late Qing governors to respond to the impact of Western learning. Additionally, they explore the changes in traditional Chinese academic and philosophical thought, such as the transformation of Neo-Confucianism, as well as the various images of Washington constructed by modern Chinese people. The content is rich and this is an academic collection of significant scholarly value.
