Did self-realization in the Chinese modern follow the law of Social Darwinism: the biggest ego always won out? Is individualism always self-regarding, never other-regarding? How did the Greater I evolve out of the Lesser I socially and ethically? Confronting these questions, the author navigates through the terrains of paraphrastic translation, Buddhist nonself, lyrical epiphany, redemptive memory and ethnic orality to map out an alternative path for the growth of a modern Chinese self.Ideas, history, and modern China ;Volume 8.Chinese literature20th centuryHistory and criticismChinese literature21st centuryHistory and criticismSelf (Philosophy) in literatureSelf-realization in literatureSelf-perception in motion picturesChinese literatureHistory and criticism.Chinese literatureHistory and criticism.Self (Philosophy) in literature.Self-realization in literature.Self-perception in motion pictures.895.109/353Liu Xinmin1625204MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820641003321Signposts of Self-Realization3960582UNINA
