Gan Yang, “Thucydides and the ‘Thucydides Trap’”
Introduction and Translation by David Ownby
Gan Yang (b. 1953) has been a leading figure in China’s thought world since the 1980s, when he led one of the first major translation projects in the post-Cultural Revolution period (Culture: China and the World/文化: 中国与世界), a massive effort to make important Western works in philosophy and history available to Chinese intellectuals. He has not slowed down since. In terms of ideas, some of Gan’s statements (such as this one) suggest an affiliation with the New Confucians, while others (such as this one) identify him with the New Left. In fact, he seems largely uninterested in defining himself as belonging to a particular school or group, and is instead adept at capturing the zeitgeist of a particular moment in a catchy slogan or summary, thus setting the agenda for other scholars, as he did with his concept of “unifying the three traditions.”

The ABCF mission is to build a deeper understanding between the Chinese people and Barbadians and Caribbean people from all walks of life. The association’s focus is on personal experiences, people-to-people contact, cultural exchanges and exchanges of ideas, and the facilitation of travel, business and study.
