“Complete Works of Yu Wujin” Launched in Shanghai

 

On November 2nd, an academic symposium titled “Philosophy and Reflections on the Times” was convened at Fudan University to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the passing of Professor Yu Wujin and to celebrate the launch of the “Complete Works of Yu Wujin.” The event was co-hosted by Fudan University’s School of Philosophy, the Center for the Study of Contemporary Foreign Marxism at Fudan University, Beijing Normal University Publishing Group, and the Xie Xide-Yu Wujin Philosophy Development Fund. The conference was attended by over 150 experts and scholars from numerous higher education institutions and research organizations across China.

 

 

Prof. Yu Wujin, a distinguished figure in China’s philosophical community, was deeply engaged in the study of Marxist philosophy, contemporary foreign Marxism, and the history of Western philosophy. He passed away in 2014 due to illness. In the decade since his passing, Fudan University’s School of Philosophy has been dedicated to preserving and disseminating Prof. Yu’s academic thoughts and humanistic spirit. After years of compilation, the “Complete Works of Yu Wujin,” co-edited by Wang Xingfu and Wu Meng, has been officially published by Beijing Normal University Publishing Group.

 

Prof. Wang Xingfu, chief editor of the “Complete Works of Yu Wujin” and a faculty member at Fudan University’s School of Philosophy, provided insights into the compilation process of the collection. The book includes seven of Yu’s monographs and over 400 articles, encompassing unpublished articles and lecture notes in foreign languages. This comprehensive collection not only chronicles the intellectual legacy of Yu but also serves as an invaluable asset for the intellectual heritage of Fudan University’s School of Philosophy.
