In this collection of essays written over a period of some twenty years (1987-2006), Chen Lai reflects on the question in an informative and original way. He reads behind the political slogans and engages with the thought both of Max Weber, Talcott Parsons and Western sociology, and representative Chinese thinkers, notably Feng Youlan and Liang Shuming. While the focus is on China, the book also appeals to anyone interested in this fascinating question of how to modernise whilst retaining the positive values of tradition. Chen Lai’s unique and balanced grasp of society marks him out as the foremost thinker in China on this topic today.Brill's humanities in China library ;v. 3.Philosophy, ConfucianPhilosophy, Chinese20th centuryChinaCivilization20th centuryPhilosophy, Confucian.Philosophy, Chinese181/.112Chen Lai1952-868141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828926703321Tradition and modernity4034795UNINA
