Publishing Date: 1998-01-01
Features: The fourth volume contains six pamphlets. Five of them are on philosophy, and the sixth, although not strictly philosophical, can also be considered as discussing Chinese issues from the perspective of historical materialism, so it is included in this volume. These six books were written between 1936 and 1948. In this volume, they are arranged in chronological order of their writing. The Complete Works of Hu Sheng comparatively fully reflects the author's writing life throughout his career, including most of his works from 1935 to 60 years later. The Complete Works are divided into six volumes and nine books. Volumes one to three are collections of essays, compiled from articles published in newspapers and journals over the years; volumes four to six are specialized collections, gathering previously published standalone books. Volume four primarily includes old books on philosophy, while volumes five and six mainly consist of books on history. At the beginning of each volume, there are introductions, prefaces, and forewords written by the author, along with explanations he deemed necessary to clarify the content of the volume. The Complete Works are rich in content, comprehensive, and both academically rigorous and timely, making them well worth reading.
