Produktinformationen zu „Liang Ch'i Ch'ao and the Mind of Modern China (ePub)“
The distinction between "e;history"e; and "e;value"e; is the ground of this penetrating work. Liang Ch'i-ch'ao began writing in the 1890's, as one who was straining against his tradition intellectually, seeing value elsewhere, but still emotionally tied to it, held by his history. How history contrived such a tension, how its release in Liang went together with the release of Confucian China from life, is the grand subject.And in drawing the times out of Liang's intellectual life, Mr. Levenson contributes much of more general interest-a new understanding of the concepts of anachronism, analogy, contemporaneity, the generation, historical relativism, historical context, cultural and national identity, personal identity, and the distinction (crucial to comprehension of why ideas ever change) between "e;thinking"e; and "e;thought."e;"e;A brilliant study of the life and work of an exceptional writer who shaped the political thought of modern China...Told with a humanist understanding far removed from the dry-as-dust manner usually ascribed to front-rank historians...this detailed account of a maker of modern China will interest not only the scholar in Far Eastern affairs, but will hold enthralled all students of the human mind in its never-ending quest for adjustment in a world of change."e;-Asia Major"e;Why was the Confucian tradition found wanting? Why was westernization rejected? Why was Nationalism not enough for China? To these and many similar questions Liang's life and writings provide the best answer. Mr. Levenson has interpreted them with real insight into the nature of Chinese civilization."e;-Times Literary Supplement"e;Advances enough brilliant and challenging hypotheses to invigorate studies of Chinese intellectual history for a long time to come....[Levenson's study] shows throughout a compassionate understanding of the harsh dilemmas, the bitter tragedies that the last century has brought to all Chinese."e;-Arthur F. Wright
