Product Description

This book includes the culture-theme essays, speeches and dialogues of Fei Xiaotong's later years that try to solve the common problem for all mankind: how should civilizations get along. Different from Huntington's idea of "the clash of civilization", Fei suggests to take a new look on traditional Chinese culture, to achieve an ideal scenario of the fulfillment of all mankind through "cultural self-consciousness".
