Introduction to On Practice and On Contradiction

This book is a comprehensive introduction to On Practice and On Contradiction. Each of the two books is considered one of Mao Zedong's most important philosophical works. On practice expresses Mao's support for Marxism and attempts to establish a distinctly Chinese brand of communist philosophy. Along with On Practice, On Contradiction forms the philosophical underpinnings of the political ideology that would later become Maoism. They both constantly influence and educate Chinese Marxists.
