We believe that the transformation of modern Chinese thought can be periodized into three stages.The first stage was from 1840 to 1900. This stage was characterized by the selective ab- sorption of modem Western thought by traditional Chinese political thought. The second stage was from 1901 to 1915. This stage saw the retreat of Confucianism from the private realm of the family, the learning of Western thought and its application to the public realm.The third stage was from 1915 to 1924.In this stage the attempt at learning from the West experienced failures and setbacks.This entailed a reconstruction of certain concepts like democracy, rights, and society. And such a reconstruction gave birth to modern Chinese thought.
