Popular Philosophy by Siqi Ai

/5

Ai Siqi's Popular Philosophy is a foundational text of Chinese Marxist thought, originally written in the 1930s and now made available to English-language readers in a translation by Lili Tao, published by Cosmos Publishing Group INC. Structured across five chapters covering materialism, epistemology, and dialectics, the book was designed to bring Marxist philosophy within reach of ordinary readers using plain, vivid language — a mission that earned it an enduring place in twentieth-century Chinese intellectual history.
