Opening a new window into Chinese intellectual discourse, this
unique book is a critical engagement with the issues, problems, and
meanings of contemporary Chinese intellectual thought. As key
participants in these debates who have exercised a significant
influence on the development of contemporary Chinese thought, the
volume's contributors explore concerns over the role of the
intellectual and the outcomes of knowledge production in the
humanities. Masterfully translated, these essays provide a wide
range of conflicting perspectives on contemporary Chinese
intellectuality, yet they share in common the belief held by many
Chinese intellectuals in the power of intellectual labor to shape
and change social life. By showing how Western social and cultural
theory as well as the May Fourth and pre-modern Confucian
traditions are being adapted for contemporary Chinese intellectual
use, the book highlights how Chinese academics have affirmed an
independent critical role for themselves in post-Mao China and the
scope of the knowledge industry that they have created and
developed since 1979.
