Chinese Visions of Progress, 1895 to 1949 offers a panoramic view
of reflections on progress in modern China. Since the turn of the
twentieth century, the discourses on progress shape Chinese
understandings of modernity and its pitfalls. As this in-depth
study shows, these discourses play a pivotal role in the fields of
politics, society, culture, as well as philosophy, history, and
literature. It is therefore no exaggeration to say that the Chinese
ideas of progress, their often highly optimistic implications, but
also the criticism of modernity they offered, opened the gateway
for reflections on China's past, its position in the present world,
and its future course.
