Anticipating the Past and Present: A Selection of Classical Studies Research Achievements

In the history of world civilization, both Chinese and Western civilizations have long-standing traditions of classical civilization. Gaining a deeper understanding of the origins of Western civilization and rethinking the complex issues of ancient and modern, East and West, is of significant importance for the development of China’s classical studies in the new era. By incorporating the research findings of Western classical studies, this work aims to promote comparative learning and mutual reference, with the goal of innovating while drawing on the past.

The National Office for Philosophy and Social Sciences has planned and published Anticipating the Past and Present: A Selection of Classical Studies Research Achievements, to promote and showcase outstanding results from the projects of the National Social Science Fund of China in the field of classical studies in China during the new era. The book is divided into “Chinese Studies” and “Western Studies” sections. Due to space limitations, we have selected 34 representative research achievements from the field of classical studies to present an overview of China’s classical studies research over the past two decades or so, for the readers’ learning and reference.
