In a collection of recent essays, Zhitian focuses on the origin of modern China, emphasizing the contemporary concerns of historical actors in order to gain a sympathetic understanding of them. He also tries to transcend the various sub-disciplines of history--history of thought, society, scholarship--to provide an broader perspective. His topics include the worship of the new: a shift of power in modern Chinese thought under the impact of the Western tide, the impact of the abolition of the examination system on rural society, the worries and responsibilities of educated Chinese in the age of transition, and reflections on the uniqueness of modern Chinese nationalism.

In Shifts of Power: Modern Chinese Thought and Society, Luo Zhitian explores the causes and consequences of various shifts of power during the transition from imperial to Republican China (1890-1949).
