Features: In the history of international Sinology after World War II, Schwarcz was an outstanding figure. During his nearly fifty years of academic career, he engaged in research on modern Chinese history, the history of modern Chinese thought, and the history of pre-Qin Chinese thought, leaving behind influential works in all three fields. His representative works include three books: The Communist Movement in China and the Rise of Mao, In Search of: Yan Fu and the West, and China and Other Matters. Additionally, he authored The Values of Chinese Culture. Moreover, Schwarcz's thought is reflected in his numerous essays, many of which have been introduced into the Chinese-speaking world. East China Normal University will hold a conference in December to commemorate and discuss Schwarcz. Mr. Xu Jilin and Editor Song Hong have compiled nearly all of Schwarcz's important essays on China, as well as significant research and remembrances of Schwarcz, to create this book in honor of the 90th anniversary of Professor Benjamin I. Schwarcz's birth. The book contains 38 of Schwarcz's essays, organized into three sections: "On Ancient Chinese Thought," "On Sino-Western Modern Thought," and "On Chinese Politics." It also includes five dialogues and interviews with Schwarcz, compiled under the title "Dialogues and Interviews." An appendix is included, featuring 28 articles divided into two sections: "Studies on Schwarcz's Thought" and "Biography and Remembrances," with contributions from Lin Yusheng, Lin Tongqi,,,,, and others.
