Work
Although Zhang was intellectually silenced after the 1940s, he had been an extraordinarily active writer until that time. Many of his works from that period still survive, testifying to Zhang's importance as one of the most penetrating and innovative Chinese thinkers of the 20th Century. His most important philosophical works include Science and Philosophy ( 科學與哲學), Philosophical Alphabet ( 哲學 ABC), On the Culture and Philosophy of East and West (讀東西文化及其哲學), Epistemology (認識論), A new Formulation of Pluralistic Epistemology (多元認識論重述), Knowledge and Culture (知識與文化), Ideal and Society (理想與社會) and Ideal and Democracy (理想與民主).

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“There is work together
A Church for all
And a job for each
Every man to his work.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit in every work of art.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The real risks for any artist are taken ... in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it—when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
