The Chinese Renaissance: The Haskell Lectures 1933 is a book written by Hu Shih, a renowned Chinese philosopher, essayist, and diplomat. The book consists of a series of lectures delivered by the author at the University of Chicago in 1933, which explore the cultural and intellectual history of China during the period known as the Chinese Renaissance.The Chinese Renaissance, also known as the New Culture Movement, was a period of intellectual and cultural awakening that occurred in China in the early 20th century. It was characterized by a rejection of traditional Confucian values and an embrace of modern, Western ideas and practices. Hu Shih was a key figure in this movement, and his lectures provide an insightful and nuanced analysis of its origins, development, and impact.Throughout the book, Hu Shih discusses a wide range of topics, including the role of language in Chinese culture, the influence of Western philosophy and science on Chinese thought, and the significance of literature and art in the Chinese Renaissance. He also explores the political and social context in which the movement emerged, and the challenges and opportunities it presented for China's future.Overall, The Chinese Renaissance: The Haskell Lectures 1933 is a fascinating and informative exploration of one of the most important cultural and intellectual movements in Chinese history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Chinese culture, history, and philosophy, as well as those interested in the broader themes of modernity and cultural change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
