Aftermath: Selected Essays on Academic History (1992-2015)
by Ge Zhaoguang
About This Novel
The traces of intellectuals over the past century record the academic style and personality of an era before the "remaining sound" fades away. The turbulence of the country and the nation threw all scholars into the huge waves and tore the minds of intellectuals of that era into pieces. In these scholars, we can see the paradox of the times, the changes in trends and the turbulence of ideas. The academic style and personality of an era seem to gradually disappear in the dark fog. Academics and ideas are stimulating each other, knowledge and politics are entangled with each other, and reason and emotion are wrestling with each other. Although it is said that the lingering sound can last for "three days", but what about after "three days"? The lingering sound may become a dead sound and will always drift away. This book contains Professor Ge Zhaoguang's essays in memory of 16 deceased scholars since the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Some of these people have been integrated into the arteries of history, while others have become forgotten undercurrents. The author reviews their experiences, explores the "changes" and "unchangedness" of their knowledge, thoughts, and beliefs, and captures the subtle struggle and integration between intellectual history and academic history, eras, and individuals.
