This book brings together three recent talks given by John Dunn in China: two full lectures, and one shorter talk followed by the transcription of an extended Q&A session with some eminent Chinese political philosophers and historians of political thought. These three chapters are followed by an intellectual-biographical interview with Dunn. Each of the chapters bears some relevance to Chinese political thought or at least pursues a general ‘East meets West’ theme. The chapters can be read in any order, although they present some common themes.

Li Shi is Professor of political thought in the School of International Studies in Renmin University of China. She wrote four books on western political philosophy, translated Thomas Hobbes’ Behemoth into Chinese, and published more than 60 articles on academic journals. She invited Professor John Dunn from Cambridge University to China in 2019, who gave three important academic lectures in Renmin University of China.
