The foundation of Chinese culture is the humanitarian spirit. How is it expressed? What lies at the core of China's humanitarian religion? How does Chinese understanding of the world and traditional thinking differ from the Western? Professor Lou Yule seeks answers to these questions, reflecting on humanity, its place in the world, and the preservation of individuality and cultural identity. This book is dedicated not only to the search for differences between Chinese civilization and the Western but also to their philosophical interpretation. The author calls for a rejection of the opposition between tradition and modernity, as modernity has indeed grown out of traditions. Lou Yule is convinced that his compatriots should remain modern individuals while preserving their traditions under any socio-economic conditions. The book is addressed to all those interested in the culture, philosophy, and science of modern China.
