Features: This book follows the conventional chronological limits of the history of modern Chinese political thought, focusing on the last three decades of the modern era, from the May Fourth Movement to the founding of the People's Republic of China. It provides brief introductions and evaluations of the origins, development, main content, and value of important political trends during this period. Due to the adopted approach of examining each thought in turn—tracing its incubation, rise, development, or turning points—the upper limit has been extended in some cases. For instance, the discussions on anarchism, the Three Principles of the People, liberalism, and socialism all trace back to the turn of the last century. This is an important point to note.
