内容简介：

本书是美国著名汉学家史华兹研究近代中国哲学、政治思想史的一部具有较高声誉和广泛影响的著作。作者以其独具特色的角度和方法，使人们重新认识了作为一位迷人的西方思想评论家的严复。作者指出，严复站在未经历近代化变革的中国传统文化立场上，一下子就发现并抓住了欧洲著作中阐述的“集体的能力”这一主题，并在欧洲思想中至少发现了两方面的秘密，即充分发挥人们全部能力和将其导向为集体目的服务的公心。作者揭示严复思想的秘密及其得失的思路，对于我们深入研究中西文化交流融合的机制和渠道，无疑是十分有益的。

Review

A notable contribution to our understanding of modern Chinese history. Professor Schwartz' study of Yen Fu and the West is much more than an intellectual biography of an important transitional figure...The book brings into focus the bafflingly complex problem of the channels through which one culture...may influence another.
--C. Martin Wilbur (Journal of Asian Studies )

To this period Professor Schwartz has applied the same brilliance and intellectual dexterity that he brought to the study of Mao Tse-tung's evolution. His book is an analytical biography of Yen Fu (1853-1921) the essayist and translator of Spencer, Huxley, Mill, Montesquieu and others...For an understanding of the unresolved conflict between Chinese civilization and the outside world this study is no less illuminating and important than his analysis of Mao. (Times Literary Supplement )

A study of modern Chinese intellectual history through the painstaking examination of one important thinker who devoted his life to introducing to China those dominant aspects of Western thought that he believed to be the key to Western wealth and power. The introduction by Professor Louis Hartz provides the stimulating insight for appreciating the significance of this work, which is in the best tradition of Sinology and historical scholarship. (Saturday Review )

Penetrating...With a command of both Eastern and Western sources rare among American scholars of his generation, Professor Schwartz presents a thoughtful and sophisticated attempt to reconstruct Yen Fu's image of the world.
--Li Yu-ning (Political Science Quarterly )

Probably the most important cross-cultural study of ideas published in the last twenty years. It is not surprising that a brilliant and subtle scholar like Professor Schwartz should choose Yen Fu.
--Martin Bernal (New York Review of Books )
