Description †
- In Remaking China’s Public Philosophy for the Twenty-First Century, author Jinghao Zhou uses for the first time the prism of “public philosophy” to examine Chinese society, modernization, globalization, and democratization as a whole. Challenging conventional thinking in China studies, he examines China systematically in seven aspects: history, ideology, economy, politics, religion, education, and China’s future, and does so from both Eastern and western perspectives.
- The volume asserts that the remaking of China’s public philosophy- - the very principles and precepts it now takes for granted- - is they key for the nation to achieve both economic and political prosperity, Zhou aims for a peaceful revolution of China’s democratization while he explores a new paradigm in China studies, making the bold argument that this remaking can contribute profoundly not only to China’s development, but to international peace and development as well.
