Yan Jiaqi, one of the principal leaders of China's pro-democracy movement, and his wife, Gao Gao, a noted sociologist, set out to write a comprehensive narrative account of the Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution, which occurred in the second decade after Mao Zedong and his comrades came to power. It appeared in Hong Kong in 1986, and was quickly banned by the Communist government. Not surprisingly, censorship and restricted circulation in China resulted in underground reproduction and serialization. The work was thus widely read, coveted, and appreciated by a populace who had just freed itself from the cultural drought and political dread of the event. Yan and Gao later spent two years re...
Musty all thinking in the modern age necessarily take place on Euro-American terms? Answering in the negative, Leigh Jenco argues-and more importantly, demonstrates-that China's nineteenth- and twentieth-century "Western Learning" debates can offer theoretically credible alternatives to current methods for engaging otherness and confronting ethnocentrism.
Using Chinese thought, explores how non-Western thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. With a particular focus on Chinese thought, this volume explores how, and under what conditions, so-called non-Western traditions of thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. Reversing the usual comparison between local Chinese application and universal theory, the work demonstrates how Chinese experiences and ideas offer systematic insight into shared social and political dilemmas. Contributors discuss how medieval Chinese understandings of causal heterogeneity can relieve impasses within contemporary historiography, how current ec...

The book is the volume of “The Military History of Remote Antiquity Period and The Three Dynasties (Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty)” among a series of books of “Deep into China Histories”. The earliest known written records of the history of China date from as early as 1250 BC, from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) and the Bamboo Annals (296 BC) describe a Xia dynasty (c. 2070–1600 BC) before the Shang, but no writing is known from the period The Shang ruled in the Yellow River valley, which is commonly held to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, Neolithic civilizations originated at various cultural centers along both the Yellow River and Yangtze River. These Yellow ...

This book launches an ambitious reexamination of the elite politics behind one of the most remarkable transformations in the late twentieth century. As the first part of a new interpretation of the evolution of Chinese politics during the years 1972-82, it provides a detailed study of the end of the Maoist era, demonstrating Mao's continuing dominance even as his ability to control events ebbed away. The tensions within the "gang of four," the different treatment of Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, and the largely unexamined role of younger radicals are analyzed to reveal a view of the dynamic of elite politics that is at odds with accepted scholarship. The authors draw upon newly available documentary sources and extensive interviews with Chinese participants and historians to develop their challenging interpretation of one of the most poorly understood periods in the history of the People's Republic of China.
Dynamic fuzzy problem are problems that are universally focused by academies. Mathematicians and cybernetic experts have used fuzzy logic to developed theories and solve static problems in so called subjective and objective worlds. This book includes 12 chapters. Chapter 1 is about basic conceptions of Dynamic Fuzzy Sets (DFS). Chapter 2 introduces Dynamic Fuzzy (DF) decomposition theorem. Chapter 3 is about L form of DFS module structure. Chapter 4 is about representation theorem of DFS. Chapter 5 introduces extension theorem of DFS. Chapter 6 is about DF measure theory. In chapter 7 it is Dynamic Fuzzy Logic (DFL). Chapter 8 is about reasoning methods of DFL. Chapter 9 is about bases of DFL programming language. Chapter 10 introduces multi-agent learning model based on DFL. Chapter 11 is about autonomic computing model based on DFL. The last Chapter introduces application of DFL in machine learning.
