Following Karl Mannheim’s theory of the sociology of knowledge, this article uses Critical Discourse Analysis to scrutinize texts written between 1935 and 1949 by three Mainland Chinese in Taiwan, Fan Shoukang, Zeng Jinke, and Li Jigu. These Chinese intellectuals are treated as representatives of contemporaneous social groups and bearers of knowledge. By identifying the key concepts and the broader semantic fields in which they are embedded, the article not only analyzes each author’s individual intellectual development but also unearths prevailing ideologies which dominated late Republican society and were endorsed by different social groups
