课程名称:早期中国的智识变迁:战国与汉代 课程概述:该系列课程通过多学科的方法研究中国文化历史,企图理解智识模式(哲学、官僚与经济理性)的演变过程,重点关注不同理性模式之间的范式转变。每个转变时刻的文化事实和艺术品——思想、文学、仪式,将与社会、政治和经济系统的变化密切相关。 前两门课程将涵盖战国时期(公元前481-256年)和分裂时期(公元220-589年),并简要探讨汉代(公元前206-220年)。战国时期奠定了皇帝模式理性的社会和文化基础,而分裂时期则见证了佛教对中国的“征服”,以及以三教对抗巫术的理性形式出现,导致了精英文化与大众文化的明显对比。 后两门课程将着重于宋元时期(公元960-1368年)现代中国的兴起以及今天的中国(1850年至今)。我们将探讨现代对宗教的攻击如何被重新定义为“迷信”,不仅引发了宗教改革运动,还催生了一个以科学和国家为首要价值体系的社会。 课程列表如下: 1. 《中国批判文化史 - 早期中国 I:战国与汉代的智识变迁(公元前481-220年)》 2. 《中国批判文化史 - 早期中国 II:分裂时期的宗教变革(公元220-589年)》 3. 《中国批判文化史 - 现代中国 I:宋、金、元时期的宗教与思想(公元960-1368年)》 4. 《中国批判文化史 - 现代中国 II:价值观的结构(1850-2015年)》 课程大纲: - MODULE 00:批判文化史导论:介绍将贯穿整个课程的关键概念及中国文化历史的基本脉络,始于战国时期。 - MODULE 01:对巫术的攻击:阐释了知识精英为何攻击传统宗教实践如占卜和巫术。 - MODULE 02:自我修炼实践的出现:介绍了战国时期出现的两种自我修炼方式——儒家和道家。 - MODULE 03:政治统一的哲学准备:学习“超越”含义,包括“天子”祭天的仪式与道和气的新宇宙观。 - MODULE 04:汉代宗教:探讨汉代(公元前206-220年)的地方与皇帝宗教。 - MODULE 05:疾病理论的变化:描述基于道和气宇宙观的新治疗理论如何在公元二世纪的政治和社会危机中复兴了由于妖魔引起的疾病观念。 通过这些课程,学习者将深入了解中国早期哲学及文化的深刻变迁及其与社会历史背景的密切联系。
Name:MODULE 00: A Critical Cultural History of China - Introduction
Description:This module introduces the key concepts that will be used throughout the course and the basic outlines of Chinese cultural history, starting with the Warring States (481-256 BCE).
Name:MODULE 01: Attack on Shamanism
Description:This module explains why the intellectual elite attacked traditional religious practices like divination and shamanism.
Name:MODULE 02: The Emergence of Self-Cultivation Practice
Description:This module presents two forms of self-cultivation—Confucian and Daoist—that emerged during the Warring States.
Name:MODULE 03: The Philosophical Preparation of Political Unity
Description:We are going to learn about the meaning of “transcendence” as seen in the sacrifice to Heaven of the “Son of Heaven” (the king and later the emperor) and in the new cosmology of the Dao (Way) and Qi (vital energy).
Name:MODULE 04: Han Religion
Description:This module is about local and imperial religion in the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 BC).
Name:MODULE 05: Changing Theories of Illness
Description:This module states how new theories of healing based on the cosmology of Dao and Qi, in the face of the political and social crisis of the second century CE, made way for a return of ideas of demon-caused illness.
This sequence of four courses will propose a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Chinese cultural history conceived of as a succession of modes of rationality (philosophical, bureaucratic, and economic). The focus will be on the moments of paradigm shift from one mode of rationality to another. For each of these moments, cultural facts and artifacts—thought, literature, ritual—will be examined in relationship to changing social, political, and economic systems. The first two courses will cover the periods of the Warring States (481-256 BCE) and the Period of Division (220-589 CE), with a brief excursion into the Han (206 BCE-220 CE). The Warring States laid the social and cultural foundations for the emergence of the imperial mode of rationality; the Period of Division saw the Buddhist “conquest” of China and the emergence of a rationality defined by the opposition of the Three Teachings to shamanism, that is, of a clear contrast between elite and popular culture. The third and fourth courses will focus on the emergence of modern China in the Song-Yuan (960-1368) and of today’s China 1850 to the present. We will see how the modern attack on religion, redefined as "superstition", led not only to religious reform movements but also to a society in which science and the nation became the primary value systems promoted by the state. The courses are listed below: A Critical Cultural History of China - Early China I: Intellectual Change in the Warring States and Han (481 BCE-220 CE) A Critical Cultural History of China - Early China II: Religious Transformation in the Period of Division (220-589 CE) A Critical Cultural History of China - Modern China I: Religion and Thought in the Song, Jin, and Yuan (960-1368) A Critical Cultural History of China - Modern China II: Structuring Values (1850-2015)
