The title is a collection of essays centering on the topic of
intercultural communication between Chinese and Western cultures by
Tang Yijie, one of the most renowned philosophy scholars in China.
Comprised of five parts, the author discusses how Chinese culture
should modernize itself through borrowing from Western culture
premised on a self-awareness of Chinese culture per se. The book
begins by critiquing theories of the so-called clash of
civilizations and new empires and argues for the coexistence of
cultures and a global consciousness instead. Chapters in the second
part revisit contemporary Chinese culture in transition and call
for the cultural integration of China and the West, with China
defined in both its ancient and modern guises. By providing
reflections on the cultural trends of the 1980s and 1990s, the
third part illustrates the inevitable growth of diversified
cultural development while analyzing cases of cultural dialogue in
history, philosophy and religion. The fourth part demonstrates the
significance of culture diversity and interaction while the fifth
provides thoughts and reflections on some real-life cultural
issues. This title will appeal to all levels of readers interested
in Chinese culture, cross-cultural studies and topics of cultural
pluralism.
