Features: This book is an academic monograph that studies the intellectual trajectory of New Youth. The relationship between the individual, the state, and society is a fundamental question in the history of thought. Their interconnections serve as both the starting point and the destination of humanistic concern. Scholars from the humanities, such as those in literature, history, and philosophy, as well as researchers in other social sciences, cannot avoid this inquiry. The author is a renowned scholar with extensive expertise in the study of intellectual history. Given the intellectual depth, contemporary relevance, and forward-looking nature of his works, academic circles both at home and abroad have recognized him as a representative and self-reflective emerging figure. This book represents a profound and organic extension of the author's research on the history of 20th-century enlightenment thought. Taking the New Youth magazine as its foundation, the author selects a critical juncture in modernity—the relationship between the individual, society, and the state—thereby providing a historically rooted and archaeologically significant intellectual excavation of the modernity genealogy. The author possesses a strong command of language, with a fresh, natural, and penetrating style. As a result, this rigorous academic monograph is also highly engaging to read.
