Abstract:

百年來五四研究以啟蒙理性主導，淹沒了提倡唯情的反啟蒙潮流。本書旨在主流看法之外，從不同角度提出問題，讓讀者重新思考我們熟悉的五四思想和文學。中文版2019年出書後，為了打開國際學界的討論，決定再寫一個英文版，於2023年出版；簡體字版繼而於2024年在中國内地問世。三個版本同中有異，考量的出發點是：中英文的寫作方式、讀者的閱讀習慣、審批的標準。

According to mainstream studies, the May 4th Movement is often characterized as an enlightenment rationality movement. However, Professor Peng Hsiao-yen takes a different approach to delve into May 4th philosophy and literature by viewing it as a Counter-Enlightenment movement as well. Her groundbreaking study was initially published in traditional Chinese in 2019, followed by an English version in 2023, which garnered significant attention in international academic circles. This year marks the release of a simplified Chinese version in mainland China. Each of the three versions has been subtly adjusted to align with various academic styles, cater to readers' preferences, and navigate censorship regulations.
