Abstract

This book analyzes the abuse of idealism with particular reference to China's Cultural Revolution. The work examines abuse at two levels: the state leaders' metaphysical vision as the interpretation of idealism at the top with state power; and the psychological state of the masses at the bottom of society. It will be of key interest to a range of legal scholars and Asian specialists.
