The Civilization of China and the Civilizations of the World - by Genyou Wu (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This book talks about "Human Spirit and its Manifestations: A 'Civilizational' Perspective", "Image and Expectations: China from the Perspective of the 'Other' Lecture Series", "Civilization Communication and Mutual Enrichment", and "Civilizational Problems: A Cavalier Perspective". Civilization is a kind of spiritual achievements with a holistic feature that is structural but not easy to see thoroughly in culture. This determines that "dialogue among civilizations" is not only a continuous and holistic cultural exchange activity, but also a material and spiritual exchange activity in different fields. With the growth of international peace power represented by China, the cultural exchanges and mutual learning activities among all ethnic groups in the world will be further promoted at a new height and breadth. The academic research on "dialogue among civilizations" followed in this book will also contribute to the arrival of this era. This book is suitable for general readers and scholars who are interested in Chinese culture, Chinese civilization, cultural exchanges, and mutual enrichment.
