Description
Twenty years after a return from fundamentalism to economic reality, China has become the world's tenth largest economy and an increasingly important global power.
Despite the rise of fundamentalism and post-modernism, the pursuit of modernity was an ongoing historical movement in late twentieth century China.
He Ping focuses on China's quest for and experience of modernity.
Implicitly comparative, the author discusses broad aspects of both Chinese and western civilizations, including their scientific traditions and socio-economic structures, with reference to modernization.
He seeks to enhance our understanding of the cultural changes behind China's phenomenal rise and provides a fresh case study for the global cultural discourse.
