| dc.description.abstract | This volume originated from two conferences as part of the “Culture and Social Transformations in Reform Era China” project which was conceived and has been carried out by the editors in collaboration with Wang Ban of Stanford University and Lin Chun of London School of Economics and Political Science. The first conference was hosted by the Department of Philosophy at Tsinghua University in 2004. The second was hosted and funded by The Li Hesheng Center for Culture and Economics Studies and the School of Humanities, at Zhejiang University, in 2005. We would like to thank conference organizers, all the participants, and translators. Thanks also go to Zhejiang University Press for publishing the Chinese collection of essays Wenhua yu Shehui Zhuanxingin 2006. We are especially grateful to Matt Kawecki at Brill for his support of this volume and for his painstaking efforts in transforming the Chinese collection of essays into an English one. | en_US |
