To what extent is there really a universal structure, whether innate or not, of language for learning? Or conversely, is language learning mainly context-based?

A milestone book on number theory, in which the author exposes the reader to the importance of number theory, the historical debates and controversies surrounding it, its diverse aspects and so on; then selectively picks up the dialectic relationship between simpleness and complicatedness; and goes on to synthesize an entirely new body of knowledge - the Transmutative Theory of Numbers (TTTN).

A milestone book on calculus, in which the author provides a definition and history of calculus, branching into integrals and differentials, and the debates, arguments and controversies surrounding it; he then picks up the dialectic relationship between differentials and integrals; and goes on to synthesize an entirely new body of knowledge - The Conversional Theory of Calculus.

Contrary to the thinking of many contemporaries, both capitalism and democracy will not last and are to be superceded one day by post-capitalism and post-democracy. The short-lived triumph of market capitalism and liberal democracy in the post-Cold War era does not imply the coming end of systematic ideology, of structural oppression, or of violent conflict at the rational endpoint of history. Unfortunately, violence does not disappear but only takes a different form of hegemony, as it has throughout history. The difference is, each age has its own form to adjust to, so we believe in ours, and those before us believed in theirs, just as those after us will in theirs. In The Future of Capitalism and Democracy, Peter Baofu evaluates how and why capitalism and democracy have failed at the institutional, organizational, structural, cultural, systemic, cosmological, and bio-psychological levels in order to synthesize the often conflicting ideals of freedom, equality, and fraternity (broadly defined to include all dimensions of life), so much cherished by many minds since the modern era. And this is so, even if democracy and capitalism have different meanings in different cultures and societies. In the end, Baofu shows that capitalism and democracy, hegemonic as they are in the post-Cold War era, are just experiments in history and will not last, just as feudalism and aristocracy before them could not.
