[FRA:] Chinese reception of Habermas and Rawls

[Nicholas Martin]

Dear Frankfurt Schoolers,

I'm looking for information on the reception of Habermas in China. He  
went on a lecture trip of the country in 2001, and this generated  
much interest amongst Chinese intellectuals, and I understand that  
they have translated and discussed him extensively since.

However, sofar I have found very little on these debates in Western  
secondary literature - the only title I know of is actually by one of  
his Chinese translators (Tong Shijun, The Dialectics of  
Modernisation: Habermas and the Chinese Discourse of Modernisation,  
2001).

Hence I was wondering whether subscribers to this list may know of  
any discussions of the Chinese Habermas reception (or, for that  
matter, the Chinese Rawls reception). Especially, I'm interested in  
(i) how Habermas/Rawls' thought may have been used/mobilised by  
Chinese intellectuals for their own, indigenous concerns & agendas;  
and how (ii) these bodies of thought may in this process have been  
reformulated.

Thanks a lot for any help,

Nicholas
