Original language description
This chapter aims to sketch the origins and development of liberal ideas in early modern, modern, and contemporary Chinese intellectual history. The first part traces proto-liberal ideas during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. In this era, no term existed in Chinese for “liberalism”; the modern expression for this concept, ziyou zhuyi, would only appear around 1900 in the vocabulary of Chinese intellectuals studying in Japan (Zhang 2011, 35). Nonetheless, inklings of liberalism in the writings of heterodox Confucian thinkers from the early modern era suggest that such ideas were not entirely foreign to China’s philosophical tradition before the Sinophone reception of the work of Western liberal thinkers. This chapter contextualises and discusses said reception at the turn of the twentieth century before examining the fate of liberalism under Maoism, its re-emergence during the post-1978 ideological relaxation, and its influence during the reformist phases of the 1980s and 1990s. Finally, the chapter points at the predicament of liberalism in today’s China.
