傳奇歷史學家列文森開創性著作，全新翻譯「梁啟超的思想是他的牢籠。」他的自相矛盾，他的一變再變，是要為怎樣的一個問題提供答案？當找到這個問題，就找到了思想史的關鍵。 麻省理工學院教授、列文森之子托馬斯．列文森（Thomas Levenson） 作序葉文心、歐立德（Mark C. Elliott）、董玥、黃樂嫣（Gloria Davies）、齊慕實（Timothy Cheek）、白傑明（Geremie R. Barmé） 聯合撰寫長篇導讀 《梁啟超與近代中國思想》是美國歷史學家約瑟夫．列文森的第一部專著，從「變形記」、「美麗新世界」、「追憶似水年華」三階段追索中國近代知識人梁啟超的思想嬗變，探求他身處歷史和價值撕裂的煎熬之中，如何從傳統突圍、擁抱進步主義和現代西方，卻又在生命的最後十年主動走向不合時宜，「一夫當關把守舊中國的疆土」。作者的視野並不限於思想者個體，而是以歷史與個人的交互作用貫穿全書，通過梁氏思想中種種「必然的前後矛盾」和「理性上的不完美」，不斷反觀歷史，揭示近代中國思想史鮮麗複雜的面貌及其變化的本質。 「梁啟超經歷了漫長的回家之路，他在半途碰見了年輕的一代。 他幾乎徹底心碎後才到達了反傳統文化之境，而年輕人從他手中接過的是一種自然狀態、一份免費禮物、一個出發點。對他而言只是冰山一角的想法（水面之下深埋著他對傳統文化的赤忱），對年輕人來說是基石。他們追隨了他一段時間，並沒有說要永遠追隨他。 這就是為何《新青年》的『新青年』們看似在說跟梁啟超一樣的話，卻很少跟他一起說。因為二者的語言並非真正相同，『一樣的』思想並不一樣。 當一戰改變了這些思想進行的環境，梁氏的思想從根源上決定了他的不合時宜。」

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - A gripping memoir on friendship, grief, the search for self, and the solace that can be found through art, by the New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu "This book is exquisite and excruciating and I will be thinking about it for years and years to come." --Rachel Kushner, New York Times bestselling author of The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken--with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity--is that he is exactly like everyone else.
