Editor’s Note: In the past forty years, the distinctive path China has followed allowed it to rise to the status of a world power. Chinese characteristics, such as the state’s institutional planning and social structure, had a spillover effect, invalidating many conclusions in social sciences that had previously been assumed “universal,” even though they were based on the Wests historical experience. Following this historical shift, the paradigms and frameworks offered by Western science gradually came to be considered less effective when it came to interpreting the Chinese experience. Chinese humanities and social sciences slowly turned toward valuing China’s realities and idiosyncrasies. Since then, the “real China” has been rediscovered, and new theoretical models based on scientific principles have been elaborated to better reflect Chinese realities. Furthermore, scholars have also recognized China’s urgent need for an ideological, scientific, and cultural discursive power and soft power that would match, on a global scale, its economic status. On that account, Journal of Literature, History, and Philosophy hosted a conference with the theme of “How to Construct Philosophy and Social Sciences with Chiness Characteristics” in June 2018, and the group of conversations by writing launched in the current issue are part of the achievements of the conference.
