Moral China in the Age of Reform

"Jiwei Ci´s remarkable book presents a gripping picture of contemporary China´s moral chaos and political vulnerability. He offers a deep diagnosis of the sources and character of China´s increasingly obtrusive and painfully felt moral crisis and makes clear how desperately difficult that crisis will be to resolve. He places residual hope in the imaginatives resources of China´s ancient commitment to a very concrete conception of the good and in the possible political commitment of the ruling party to revive some viable interpretation of that ancient commitment´s implications"- John Dunn.
