Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates why Mao and Maoist ideologists underwent extreme conditions in seeking their political goals and how they would justify the chaos and disasters the Chinese society suffered from 1966 to 1976. The paper aims to approach the issue by a analysis of the intense and enduring Maoist interest in and discussion on cosmology and their relationship with the Cultural Revolution.
