Proactive and Defensive: the Intellectual Society in Modern China
About This Novel
This book focuses on the interpersonal interactions, personal connections, group organizations, and relationships with urban public media of Chinese intellectuals from 1895 to 1949. It is a social and cultural history of modern Chinese intellectuals. This book uses rich historical materials and vivid writing to introduce the social interactions of Liang Qichao, Chen Duxiu and many other famous intellectuals. When imperial examinations and family status evolved into schools and diplomas, the ideological framework based on Confucian culture as common values gradually disintegrated. From the vague and short-lived New Culture Alliance to various doctrines and schools, the scattered groups of modern intellectuals constitute the dazzling intellectual spectrum of modern China. In such an era of great transformation, intellectuals live in cities and receive new education. As the main body of thought and culture, they bear the mission of enlightening the public. And as enlighteners, what kind of transformation do they themselves face from tradition to modernity?
