Hu Shih (1891-1962), Chinese philosopher, historian and diplomat.
In the 1910s, Hu studied at Cornell University and later Columbia
University, both in the United States. At Columbia, he was greatly
influenced by his professor, John Dewey, and became a lifelong
advocate of pragmatic evolutionary change. He received his Ph.D. in
Philosophy in 1917 and returned to lecture at Peking University. Hu
soon became one of the leading and most influential intellectuals
during the May Fourth Movement and later the New Culture Movement.
His most widely recognized achievement during this period was as a
key contributor to Chinese liberalism and language reform in his
advocacy for the use of written vernacular Chinese. Hu Shih was the
Republic of China!-s Ambassador to the United States of America
(1938C1942) and later Chancellor of Peking University (1946C1948).
In 1939 Hu Shih was nominated for a Nobel Prize in literature and
in 1958 became president of the ! DegreesAcademia Sinica!+/- in
Taiwan, where he remained until his death in Nangang at the age of
71. This diverse collection brings together his English essays,
speeches and academic papers, as well as book reviews, all written
between 1919 and 1962. English Writings of Hu Shih represents his
thinking and insights on such topics as scientific methodology,
liberalism and democracy, and social problems. It can also serve as
a helpful resource for those who study Hu Shih and his views on
ancient and modern China.
