Features: Sun Yat-sen, a pioneer of modernization in China, launched the exploration of construction philosophy. This book adopts a unique perspective, placing Sun Yat-sen's construction philosophy within the broader context of the world's shift from classical physics to modern science and China's transition from revolution to construction. Employing a combination of macro, meso, and micro approaches, natural and social sciences, theory and practice, as well as history and reality, the book systematically reviews and analyzes a wealth of historical materials through sorting, dissection, and summarization, while also conducting observations, surveys, and comprehensive analyses of contemporary society. It then offers a multi-faceted, multi-perspective examination and profound critique of Sun Yat-sen's construction philosophy, characterized by systematicity, openness, coordination, balance, and harmony. The book highly affirms its historical significance in opening up modern Chinese thinking and its contemporary relevance in China's modernization efforts.
