Article: Our Country Right or Wrong: A Pragmatic Response to Anti-Democratic Cultural Nationalism in China

Sor-hoon Tan (National University of Singapore) wrote the article, "Our Country Right or Wrong: A Pragmatic Response to Anti-Democratic Cultural Nationalism in China" ("Contemporary Pragmatism", 7 [2], December 2010: pp. 45-69).

Quote: "This essay will examine anti-democratic tendencies in the rising cultural nationalism in China and, through a philosophical exploration of John Dewey's views about tradition, it will suggest how Chinese pragmatists today might defend democracy against attacks by cultural nationalists who reject the democratic path as alien and therefore wrong for China."
