China's rise to power is the signal event of the twenty-first
century, and this volume offers a contemporary view of this nation
in ascendancy from the inside. Eight recent essays by Xu Jilin, a
popular historian and one of China's most prominent public
intellectuals, critique China's rejection of universal values and
the nation's embrace of Chinese particularism, the rise of the cult
of the state and the acceptance of the historicist ideas of Carl
Schmitt and Leo Strauss. Xu's work is distinct both from
better-known voices of dissent and also from the 'New Left'
perspectives, offering instead a liberal reaction to the complexity
of China's rise. Yet this work is not a shrill denunciation of Xu's
intellectual enemies, but rather a subtle and heartfelt call for
China to accept its status as a great power and join the world as a
force for good.
