The Translation of Western Philosophy in the late Qing Dynasty and the Cultural Self-aware-ness
The translation of Western philosophy flourished in the late Qing Dynasty,when at least 99 books on Western philosophy were translated into Chinese.Among them,there were 10 introductory works on phi⁃losophy and 18 works on logic,which far exceeded previous similar translations in terms of both quantity and quality.At that time,almost all fields of philosophy,including introductory works on philosophy and works on logic,were introduced,including ancient Greek philosophy,Western modern philosophy,and the ideas of important philosophers from ancient Greece to modern times.Many leading figures of the era,in⁃cluding Cai Yuanpei,Yan Fu,Liang Qichao,and Wang Guowei,devoted themselves to this Logic was par⁃ticularly valued.The importance of Western philosophy in the late Qing Dynasty was largely due to the fact that the translation of philosophy and the construction of philosophy were seen as the key to national reviv⁃al.This is consistent with the banner of science raised during the May Fourth Movement,which were both expressions of the cultural self-awareness of the Chinese nation.
