Description

Divided Knowledge presents nine of the keynote papers prepared for the historic Beijing Symposium sponsored by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In this collection the disciplines of sociology, political science, philosophy, literary theory and history are included as well as the interdisciplinary fields of public policy, area studies and business management. The articles, as well as addressing the need for renewed scholarship in areas (political science and sociology) previously forbidden in China, represent the predominant themes of the Symposium: the fragmentations of fields of knowledge in the West and consequent efforts to integrate them for application to social problems; and the universality of knowledge, its concepts, theories and applications.
