Zheng Shiqu

429K0

In post-war Europe, people's reflection on the social and cultural crisis has two orientations: one is represented by Marxism, advocating proletarian social revolution; the other is reflection on modernity, which is concentrated in the rise of irrationalism, criticizing the constraints of reason on human nature, and instead emphasizing human emotions, will and beliefs. For a long time, academic research on the spread of Marxism and socialist thoughts to the East has been fruitful, but research on reflecting on the repercussions of modernist thoughts in China has been very weak.
