A Spiritual Evolutionism: Lü Cheng, Aesthetic Revolution, and the Rise of a Buddhism-Inflected Social Ontology in Modern China

&

Abstract

This study examines the early career of the renowned Buddhologist Lü Cheng as an aspiring revolutionary. My findings reveal that Lü's rhetoric of "aesthetic revolution" both catapulted him into the center of the New Culture Movement and popularized a Buddhist idealism—Yogācāra —among thinkers who sought alternatives social theories.
