Yu Wang

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

It is Hu Shi that introduced Dewey's pragmatism into China, enabling it to substantially change. What Hu Shi did most particularly was to turn Dewey's ontological transcendentalism into cognitive experimentalism. Likewise, he changed the general philosophical method into the specific method of running schools. Hence, this paper is intended to relate that to a diachronic reinterpretation of certain principle as a result of cross-cultural communication.
