Telos 213 (Winter 2025): China Keywords I

Defining China, From Within and Without

Telos 213 (Winter 2025): China Keywords I is now available for purchase in our store. Individual subscriptions to Telos are also available in both print and online formats.

Dear Telos community,

Today we are releasing Telos 213, China Keywords I, which includes essays from the March 2025 Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference, to be followed by China Keywords II in Telos 214. Edited by Eric Hendriks and myself, our introduction is dialectically conflicted because the two of us are in disagreement about whether China can be designated as authoritarian. You can read our introduction for details about this debate. Here, I will just note that our engagement with China has been and will continue to be framed by our own strategic ambiguity about this topic.

The issue also includes Mark Kelly’s and my responses to the essays on postliberalism in Telos 212, describing another split within the Telos circle regarding liberalism and postliberalism. We welcome additional responses concerning these two questions for our next issue. If you are interested, please let me know at editor@telospress.com. We would need to receive your submission by February 15.

Please don’t forget to download the articles from the new issue through your library system. Every download helps to maintain our significance for college libraries. I appreciate your engagement.

Happy New Year!

David Pan
