The Chinese Idea of a University : Phoenix Reborn / Rui Yang.

Includes bibliography (pages 129-146) and index.

Introduction -- Evolution, features, and spread of the Chinese tradition in higher learning -- Perceptions of foreign universities in the nineteenth century and the birth of China's modern higher education institutions -- The Chinese idea of a university in academic discussions -- Increasingly alike : formal resemblance -- Similar but different : substantive mix.

“…..Rui Yang conceptualizes the cultural foundations of modern university development in Chinese societies. Instead of focusing on the uniqueness of the societies, this book aims to prove that one educational purpose could be fulfilled via many paths, and that most of the characteristics in the university could be found in other institutions of higher learning. Citing the practices of four selected Chinese societies, Yang opposes the existence of an impassable chasm between Chinese and Western ideas of a university and argues that it is possible to combine Chinese and Western ideas of a university. Also, this book is one of the first in English to theorize the Chinese idea of a university. It links the historical events to the present, in a context of an enormous impact of Western academic models and institutions, from the beginning of modern universities in Chinese societies to the contemporary period."-- Back cover.
