Politics and Ideology: Continuation and Innovation of Western Political Thought (Expanded Edition) "is published by Shanghai Century Publishing Group.

In this book, I attempt to narrate and analyze some ongoing and changing political philosophical issues. In today's intellectual world, there is a widespread hostility, even contempt, towards traditional forms of political philosophy. I hope this work, if it cannot stop those who are eager to abandon the remaining parts of the political philosophy tradition, may at least clarify what we should discard.
Although the discourse used in this book is historical, my intention was not to provide a comprehensive and detailed history of political thought. Overall, I chose the historical approach because I believe it is the best way to understand important issues in political philosophy, and because of its nature as a knowledge enterprise. My other belief is that a historical perspective is more effective than any other method in exposing the essence of our current predicament; If it is not the source of political wisdom, at least it is a prerequisite. Readers will soon find that many titles and authors typically included in standard history books have been omitted, and I have significantly deviated from the popular explanations on other issues. In places where there is a significant amount of omission, such as when dealing with most medieval political thought, it should not be inferred as evidence that contradicts my opinion, but rather as an inevitable byproduct primarily serving as explanatory work.
I owe a lot of knowledge debt and am very willing to express my gratitude for it. I owe Professors John D. Lewis and Frederick B. Atts of Oberlin College, and I may never be able to repay them. Since my college days until now, they have jointly played the roles of teachers, scholars, and friends, and encouraged me to embark on the same work.
