This book celebrates the centennial of Dewey's visit to China
(1919-1921). Reflecting on the history of Dewey's visit is critical
to understanding China's modernization and to reevaluating the
early efforts of the radical intellectuals in the May Fourth
Movement (1919), some of whom were Dewey's students at Columbia
University. This study also helps us to critically reflect on the
China-US relationship for our contemporary world. The historical,
philosophical and comparative perspectives applied in this book may
shed light on current conflicts. Dewey's thoughts were
well-received by different scholars but also misperceived or
misinterpreted in different historical periods. This project tries
to understand the challenges of both cultures (Chinese and Western)
by using this historical episode as a distant mirror to better
perceive and understand the present. By reviewing this historical
event, we also find new space to reinterpret Eastern philosophies
such as Confucianism and Buddhism. We find that there's some
surprising commonalities shared by Confucianism, Buddhism, and
Deweyan pragmatism that provide possibilities for seeking a more
inclusive conceptual framework for education in the West as well as
the East.
