張灝認為康、譚、章、劉四人是對西方進入中國所帶來的「定位秩序的危機」作出回應。康有為和劉師培尋找個人和未來烏托邦社會的道德完美。譚嗣同和章炳麟在根本的要義之中，以儒家「仁」的概念和大乘佛教兩者的認定，尋找精神上的洗禮。他們都是對存在意義和社會政治秩序的雙雙分解作出回應。他們嘗試透過新的世界觀去重建認識力與道德的一致性。 作者認為這種尋找主要靠著中國思想的傳統。他極其仔細且令人佩服地告訴我們書中每位主人翁所依靠的儒家、佛教、道家的思想和經典，這些思想在中國歷史上何時及如何出現，二十世紀以前有哪些思想家延續或促成了這些觀念？讀者並沒有陷入模糊不清的中國傳統之中。相信中國思想在清末已告破產的人，是無法讀完這本書的。 作者的第二個主要貢獻，在於強調這些依據傳統的世界觀對新的、可察覺的進退維谷情形，是不連續的回應。西方侵入如何產生的不連續性特點，並未充分討論。...(展开全部)
