Features: At the turn of the century, it delves deeply into the rich connotations of the profound changes over a century and the essence of historical progress. It systematically summarizes the economic and lessons learned in various aspects of China's political, economic, and cultural development since this century, pointing out the correct direction and path for new endeavors in the 21st century, which is a crucial issue of common concern to all sectors of society. This is a grand systematic project that requires the joint efforts and division of labor of all parties to complete. Among them, summarizing and reflecting on the spiritual journey of a hundred years of China, conducting a systematic summary, reflection, and self-criticism of 20th-century Chinese philosophy and intellectual culture, is a sub-topic within this major issue. Actively engaging in research in this field is an inescapable responsibility for China's academic and theoretical circles. This series of books was compiled under the guidance of several senior scholars in the field of Chinese philosophy. The editorial board, mainly composed of young and middle-aged professors from ten Chinese philosophy doctoral programs in the country, has connected with the authors. Most of the authors are outstanding young scholars who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. The young people are energetic, perceptive, and full of pioneering, innovative, and exploratory spirit. We require all authors to conduct realistic analyses and reviews based on thorough research of materials and an accurate understanding of the original works, striving for innovation and breakthroughs. As for academic style, uniformity is not enforced; each can have its own characteristics and strengths. This book is one of the "Studies on 20th-Century Chinese Philosophy and Culture Series," attempting to provide a comprehensive evaluation of Feng Youlan by examining the path he took between philosophy and the history of philosophy.
