James R. Pusey is a professor of Chinese Studies at Bucknell University, Pennsylvania, where he teaches courses on Chinese language, philosophy, literature and their relations with intellectual thought. He is the author of Lu Xun and Evolution (State University of New York Press, 1998) and also of other books and essays on Wu Han, K’ang Yu-wei, Liang Qichao and the impact of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution in China. The recent publication of a translation of his China and Charles Darwin (Council on East Asian Studies, Harvard UP, 1983) is attracting both widespread interest in China and renewed attention abroad. He has recently completed a book manuscript titled “Confessions of a Chinese History Teacher: Reflection on the 200th Anniversary of the Macartney Mission.” In celebration of Charles Darwin’s bicentennial, he will be editing a volume of essays on Darwin and the humanities and social sciences.
