| Summary: | We are here introducing what we hope will be a regular department in Practical Anthropology. In it we want to publish original articles and reprints in which non-Westerners look at the West, or in which anthropologists (or others) without any Christian convictions look at Christian missions, in ways that may be helpful for us to see ourselves. The following article is part 11 of “A Manifesto to the World on Behalf of Chinese Culture.” We think that every reader will be struck, as we were, by the description of the feeling the Oriental has in the face of the Westerner, and by the thoughtful analyses of the difficulties in the Western outlook on life. At the same time it tells us as much, if not more, about the Chinese scholar's outlook on life, about his all important values, as it does about ourselves. |
