This book recounts the history of Marxist philosophy in China
between 1923 and 1945 through the writings and activities of four
philosophers: Qu Qiubai, Ai Siqi, Li Da and Mao Zedong. Two of
these philosophers - Qu and Mao - were also political activists and
leaders, but their contribution to this history is as important, if
not more so, than the contribution of Ai and Li who were
predominantly philosophers and scholars. The inclusion of Qu and
Mao underlines the intimate connection between philosophy and
politics in the revolutionary movement in China. It is not possible
to speak credibly of Marxist philosophy in China without
considering the political context within which its introduction,
elaboration and dissemination proceeded. Indeed, each of the
philosophers considered in this book repudiated the notion that the
study of philosophy was a scholastic intellectual exercise devoid
of political significance. Each of these philosophers regarded
himself as a revolutionary, and considered philosophy to be useful
precisely because it could facilitate a comprehension of the world
and so accelerate efforts to change it. By the same token, each of
these philosophers took philosophy seriously; each bent his mind to
the daunting task of mastering the arcane and labyrinthian
philosophical system of dialectical materialism. Philosophy might
well be political, they believed, but this was no excuse for
philosophical dilettantism.
