This volume strives to clearly illustrate the interactive relationship between the global modernization movement and the development of Chinese literature, objectively elaborating on the influence of world literature on Chinese literature. It not only summarizes the gains and lessons of Chinese literature in its modernization process but also boldly explores the future development direction of Chinese literature. The publication of this book undoubtedly represents a pioneering and beneficial attempt in the field of literary theory research, with profound significance. This book is part of East China Normal University's "Project 211" initiative, focusing on the modernization of Chinese philosophy. The author comprehensively and systematically demonstrates the relationship between social changes and ideological evolution in China since the Opium War, discussing the historical process of Chinese philosophy's modernization across various domains such as methodology, knowledge-action perspective, values, ideal personality, concept of heaven, and concept of humanity. The book not only analyzes the philosophical thoughts and social reform viewpoints of different modern Chinese ideological schools and scholars but also pays special attention to the actual impact of Western modern philosophical trends on Chinese thought and the positive and negative effects they have produced. Whether in terms of writing approach, article structure, content arrangement, or theoretical analysis, this book breaks new ground and maintains a high academic level.
