Tao Dongfeng assumes that the anti-disciplinary production of literary knowledge is a component of his anti-essentialism. This anti-disciplinary practice follows from reflecting on disciplinary specialization to subversion of classical order, and from reflecting on intellectual expertise to politicization of intellectuals. But unfortunately, from the perspective of research, Tao's cultural research is confined to the monism of rights and pan-political ideology. He views the interest-power but denying benefit-power of the discipline of literature and art.
