In Zhu Guangqian and Benedetto Croce on Aesthetic Thought, Mario Sabattini analyses Croceâs influence on the aesthetic thought of Zhu Guangqian. Zhu Guangqian is one of the most representative figures of contemporary Chinese aesthetics. Since the '30s, he had an active role in China both on the literary and philosophical scenes, and, through his writings, he exerted an important influence in the moulding of numerous generations of intellectuals. Some of his works have been widely read, and they still provoke considerable interest in China, on the mainland as well as in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The volume also presents a revised translation of Zhu Guangqianâs Wenyi xinlixue (Psychology of Art and Literature).
Mario Sabattini (1944-2017), Emeritus Professor at the Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca' Foscari University at Venice, focused mainly on Zhu Guangqian's aesthetic thought, and poetic in general. He has published extensively in Italian, English and Chinese. He has been a pioneer in the teaching of Thai language in Italy. From 1999 to 2003, Sabattini served as Cultural Counsellor at the Italian Embassy in the Peopleâs Republic of China.
