In this collection of essays, China's Chairman Mao Tse-Tung explains the
interpretation of Marxism-Leninism ideology that became known as Maoism.
This philosophy fueled the Chinese Revolution and the massive social and
economic changes Mao instituted as the nation's leader. From examining
the way contradictions can cause great shifts within a society, to the
necessity of guerilla-based revolution, Mao mixes his philosophical
positions with the history of the Chinese people. Featured works include
"Relation Between Knowledge and Practice," "Between Knowing and Doing,"
"The Universality of Contradiction," "The Place of Antagonism in
Contradiction," "China's Historical Characteristics," "The Politics of
New Democracy," "The Economy of New Democracy," "The Culture of New
Democracy," and more.
This collection offers a detailed insight into the mind of the most
important figure in 20th-century Chinese history.
