Liang Shu-ming (October 18, 1893 - June 23, 1988), was a legendary
philosopher, teacher, and leader in the Rural Reconstruction
Movement in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican eras of
Chinese history. Liang was also one of the early representatives of
modern Neo-Confucianism. Guy S. Alitto, associate Professor in the
Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations (EALC) at The
University of Chicago, is author of, among other things, The Last
Confucian: Liang Shu-ming and the Chinese Dilemma of Modernity, and
is one of the most active and influential Sinologists in America.
In 1980 and again in 1984, at Liang Shu-ming's invitation, he
conducted a series of interviews with Liang in Liang's Beijing
home. This book of dialogues between the American sinologist and
"The Last Confucian", Liang Shu-ming, gives a chronological account
of the conversations that took place in Beijing in 1980. In these
conversations, they discussed the cultural characteristics of
Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism, and their representative figures,
and reviewed the important activities of Mr. Liang's life, along
with Liang's reflection on his contact with many famous people in
the cultural and political realms - Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, Mao
Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek, Kang Youwei, Hu Shi, etc. Rich
in content, these conversations serve as important reference
material for understanding and studying Mr. Liang Shuming's
thoughts and activities as well as the social and historical events
of modern China.
