Three decades of dizzying change in China's economy and society
have left a tangible record of successes and failures. Less readily
accessible but of no less consequence is the story, as illuminated
in this book, of what China's reform has done to its people as
moral and spiritual beings. Jiwei Ci examines the moral crisis in
post-Mao China as a mirror of deep contradictions in the new self
as well as in society. He seeks to show that lack of freedom,
understood as the moral and political conditions for subjectivity
under modern conditions of life, lies at the root of these
contradictions, just as enhanced freedom offers the only
appropriate escape from them. Rather than a ready-made answer,
however, freedom is treated throughout as a pressing question in
China's search for a better moral and political culture.
