The Formation and Development of Chinese Philosophy as an Academic Discipline in Twentieth Century China

密切关注中国的知识分子和政治潮流的走向，以及这些潮流是如何日益融合和互动的，这符合澳大利亚的国家利益。这个项目将有助于更清楚地了解中国知识传统和文化认同之间不断变化的关系，从而提高我们解释和接触我们地区环境的能力。致力于理解中国哲学对中国受过教育的精英意味着什么，也表明了愿意促进对话和沟通，这种对话和交流对知识和文化传统很敏感，这是我们几个主要地区合作伙伴的骄傲和身份认同的来源。

It is in Australia's national interest to pay close attention to the orientation of intellectual and political currents in China and to how these currents are increasingly merging and interacting. This project will enhance our capacity to interpret and engage with our regional environment by contributing to a clearer understanding of the changing relationship between Chinese intellectual traditions and cultural identity. A commitment to understanding what Chinese philosophy means to China's educated elite also demonstrates a willingness to foster dialogue and communication that is sensitive to the intellectual and cultural traditions which are a source of pride and identity for several of our major regional partners.
