Synopsis

'Modernisation', like 'Enlightenment', in the minds of Adorno and Horkheimer, is a dialectical process full of tensions. This discussion of the dialectics of modernisation with special reference to the Chinese experience seeks to provide a better understanding of modernisation as a universal-historical process. The book argues that China has a tradition of dialectical thinking and that this tradition with categories such as ti (substance or entity) and yong (manifestations or functions), can remedy some weaknesses in Habermas' theory and also make positive contributions to a balanced and sound conception of modernisation.
