Features: Chen Xujing was a rare master scholar and educator who was proficient in both Chinese and Western studies in the history of modern Chinese academia. Currently, research on Chen Xujing is primarily focused on his theory of "wholesale Westernization," with almost no one comprehensively reviewing his entire academic system from a cultural studies perspective. This book places Chen Xujing in the context of China's modern social transformation and the sinification of academia, employing research methods such as hermeneutics and cultural studies to analyze the intrinsic, historical, and dynamic connections between the studies he engaged in. It reconstructs his cultural studies system and evaluates it. At the same time, it engages in dialogue with research on Chen Xujing, as well as studies on modern Chinese cultural history and academic history through this research approach.
