The West assumes modernity is its own invention, and that the rest of the world is simply catching up. Join one of China's most provocative and celebrated intellectuals, Wang Hui, as he argues otherwise. Tracing ideas that stretch back over a millennium, Wang contends China does not need to borrow modernity from the West. It has its own deep tradition of thinking about knowledge, power, and the good society — one that cannot be squeezed into Western categories.
“Consistently illuminating and bracing.” – Pankaj Mishra
