Toward the Future Series

simplified Chinese: 走向未来丛书), also translated into English as Walking Towards The Future Series[4] or Toward the Future Book Series[5] or Moving Toward the Future Series,[6] is a set of books created in 1984 by Jin Guantao (金观涛), Bao Zunxin, and others,[7] and first published and printed by the Sichuan People's Publishing House in early 1984.[8] In the late 1980s, Wang Qishan served as an editorial board member of the book series.[9]

Toward the Future Series is the first popular series of Western new

Western thought and promoting science as a remedy for China's impeded modernization.[11] It was of great significance to the enlightenment of Chinese thought in the 1980s.[12]

Toward the Future Series was once banned by the

original works.[14]

The authors of the Toward the Future Series gathered a group of independent

thinking intellectuals in China in the 1980s,[15] representing the frontier thinking of China's ideological emancipation (思想解放) at that time.[16] The series was quite popular when it was first published, and the People's Daily, the official media of Chinese Communist Party, also gave words of praise.[17]

Criticism

Some Chinese

policies and were always debating with the authority, so the language they discussed was always semi-official. Moreover, because of the emphasis on practical function and popularity, the series of books later gradually appeared to be shoddy, which affected its influence.[18]
