This book is divided into three main parts: an introduction to
theories of culture, a section on Chinese culture, and one on
cultural construction. The first part can be interpreted as an
attempt to explore the meta-theoretical system of culture at the
philosophical level. Based on the concept of "culture as ways of
living," the book further defines "culture" as "the preparation of
people," including the processes by which people adapt to local
cultural and social customs. It stresses the subjectivity of
culture, and the cultural rights and responsibilities of humankind.
The second part takes on the subjective perspective of contemporary
Chinese culture, interpreting it within the context of the
historical situation of the Chinese people and nation, before
engaging in a systematic reflection on several fundamental issues
of Chinese culture. It closes by evaluating Chinese cultural
practices and formulating a type of contemporary cultural
self-identity. The book's third part focuses on the interconnection
between the revival of the Chinese nation and the modernization of
Chinese society, analyzing the conditions and challenges for the
three primary types of contemporary Chinese culture: material
culture, political culture and spiritual culture. Lastly, the book
puts forward suggestions concerning several of the critical
problems facing a society in transition.
