Professor Lin Yu-sheng (1934-2022) is a leading authority on the May Fourth totalistic anti-traditionalism. His efforts in pursuing liberal values and in advocating "the creative transformation" of tradition have made an important contribution to our understanding of how humanistic tradition can be best safeguarded under liberal democracy.
