Abstract

In a way, this contribution is paying tribute to those Chinese scholars who wanted to restore at any cost their country's splendour. Chen Huanzhang was one of them; he tried his own way, even if his trials might look more pathetic than realistic. This paper reads and comments the doctoral dissertation – The Economic Principles of Confucius and His School – he defended in 1911 while at Columbia University. Chen Huanzhang is a traditionally educated Chinese seeking to reinterpret the Chinese classical thinking in light of the political economy taught by modern Western economists and his professors at Columbia. Digging into the writings of ancient Chinese philosophers and statesmen, he unearthed ideas he had drawn from Western economists and then brought forth a Confucian economic thought. It is the scientific nature of his manufacture I shall appraise here.
