Features: The series "Modernity and Humanities in China" is not merely participating in the discussion of core issues of the time in a general manner, but consciously aware of two interconnected aspects in the study of modernity: first, "Chinese modernity"; second, humanities within the framework of modernity. These two aspects constitute the core focus of this series, aiming to contribute to our research and reflection on modernity issues through this central theme. It suggests a vast research space, advocating for a sustained, localized study of specific issues, attempting to approach this goal from different perspectives and angles. For Chinese humanities scholars, whether it is Chinese modernity or humanities within the context of modernity, both are quintessentially "self-oriented learning." This book is one of them, exploring the fissures in the discourse of modernity.
