331K0

"The Dedemonization of Asia" presents the process of Europeans' entanglement with Asian knowledge and Asian impressions during the historical period of great changes in the knowledge system in the 18th century. In this century, Europe gained a deeper understanding of Asia. What was once a mysterious and fantastic country now became a clear object. This intellectual de-demonization gave Europe a sense of superiority and arrogance that still lingers today. Osterhamer's research presents the communication difficulties between different cultures. For today's world, this period of history provides rich materials for mutual understanding and conflict communication between different cultures.
