"In Search of Wealth and Power: Yan Fu and the West" is a highly reputable and widely influential work written by the famous American sinologist Schwartz on the history of modern Chinese philosophy and political thought. With his unique perspective and method, the author makes people re-understand Yan Fu as a fascinating critic of Western thought through in-depth analysis of Yan Fu's life, translation, and writing, and further reveals the relationship between the evolution of Chinese and Western thoughts in modern times. The author points out: From the perspective of traditional Chinese culture that has not experienced modernization changes, Yan Fu suddenly discovered and grasped the theme of "collective abilities" elaborated in European works, and discovered at least two secrets in European thought, namely, giving full play to all people's abilities and directing them to serve collective purposes.
