The Concept of Democracy during the Transitional Period of Modern China
EDITOR’S ABSTRACT In this article, Huang discusses the process whereby the concept of democracy was translated into the Chinese context during the transitional period of modern China (1895–1925). He asserts that while democracy was rooted in a pessimistic conception of human nature and epistemology in the West, Chinese intellectuals rather tended toward an optimistic view of both, a fact that brought them closer to the Rousseauian tradition of democratic thought. However, Huang also sees signs of a Millianism with Chinese characteristics in the thought of Yan Fu and Liang Qichao.
