Controversy

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 February 2009

Extract

At some point in a debate one or all participants usually feel that it should come to an end. Professor Schwartz expresses this wish in his recent comments on my rejection of the “Maoist” thesis; but he does not tell us why. I also think the present discussion should be terminated; but I am quite willing to give my reasons. I see little benefit in continuing to argue the meaning of Mao Tse-tung's development with an opponent who employs methods of evasion, omission, and misrepresentation. However, the underlying issue has not disappeared, and certain points even in this debate require further clarification.
