课程简介

课程名称:现代中国价值观的结构 课程概述:本课程系列包括四个部分,提出了一种多学科的方法来研究中国文化历史,视其为理性模式(哲学、官僚和经济)的接续变迁。重点关注从一种理性模式向另一种理性模式的范式转变时刻,并将思维、文学、仪式等文化事实及文物,与不断变化的社会、政治和经济系统进行关联分析。 前两门课程将涵盖战国时期(公元前481-256年)和南北朝(公元220-589年),并简要涉及汉代(公元前206-公元220年)。战国时期为帝国理性模式的出现奠定了社会和文化基础;而南北朝时期则见证了佛教“征服”中国及三教对巫术的对立,这一时期铸就了精英文化与民间文化的鲜明对比。 后两门课程则聚焦于宋元时期(公元960-1368年)及今日中国(1850年至今)的出现。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,还促成了科学和国家成为国家所倡导的主要价值观。 课程内容大纲: 1. **模块21:宗教与现代性** 探讨20世纪知识精英如何将科学、市场和国家作为新的结构价值,以及这些变化如何导致传统宗教的破坏和抵抗。 2. **模块22:经济学** 介绍传统中国政府角色的视角如何阻碍市场经济的发展,经济学在20世纪中国是如何发展的,以及这对政府实践和人类主观性的理解产生的深远影响。 3. **模块23:科学与科学主义** 学习科学与科学主义之间的区别,科学主义如何被用来正当化对传统宗教的拒绝,以及如何更准确地评估科学的本质重新开辟传统道德和宗教关怀的空间。 4. **模块24:性别** 讨论20世纪知识精英中的性别偏见,以及不同宗教传统如何促进女性赋权,以应对“公共父权制”。 5. **模块25:救赎性社会与慈善堂** 介绍平信徒宗教运动(尤其是灵书团体)如何回应19和20世纪中国社会危机,以及像义观道这样的团体从政治压制到接受的变化。 6. **模块26:魅力基督教** 阐述魅力性新教在当今社会的吸引力,尤其是对女性的影响,及其中国本土起源与其他形式的民间宗教的相似性。 7. **模块27:结论** 分析中西方二元论的差异及其与不同书写系统的关系,探讨“父权主义”和“人文主义”在中国文化中的意义,以及中国精英文化与民间文化之间的巨大差距。 通过这一系列课程,学员将获得对中国文化历史的深入理解,并能够分析中国现代转型的多重价值观念及其影响。

课程大纲

Part: 1

Title:Module 21 Religion and Modernity

Description:This module explains how science, the market, and the nation became the new structuring values of the intellectual elite in the 20th century and how this led to the destruction of traditional religions; how these religions resisted and incorporated the new values.

Part: 2

Title:Module 22 Economics

Description:This module introduces how the traditional Chinese vision of the role of government militated against the development of market-based economics, how the science of economics came into being in 20th century China and how this profoundly modified the practice of government and the way human subjectivity is understood.

Part: 3

Title:Module 23 Science and Scientism

Description:We are going to learn the distinction between science and scientism, how scientism was used to justify the rejection of traditional religions, and how a more accurate assessment of the nature of science re-opens a space for more traditional moral and religious concerns.

Part: 4

Title:Module 24 Gender

Description:This module is about the role of gender bias among the intellectual elite in the 20th century and how various religious traditions, by contrast, promoted women’s empowerment over against the “public patriarchy”.

Part: 5

Title:Module 25 Redemptive societies and charity halls

Description:This module presents how lay religious movements, especially spirit writing groups, responded to the crisis of Chinese society in the 19th and 20th centuries; how groups like the Yiguandao went from political repression to acceptance; and how charity in modern China is inseparable from the history of these lay organizations.

Part: 6

Title:Module 26 Charismatic Christianity

Description:This module states the power of attraction of charismatic Protestantism today, especially for women, its primarily indigenous origins and its similarities with other forms of popular religion.

Part: 7

Title:Module 27 By Way of Conclusion

Description:This module indicates the differences between Chinese and Western dualism and how they were impacted by their different writing systems; the meaning of the terms “patriarchal” and “humanistic” as applied to Chinese culture; how Chinese elite and popular culture were separated by a wide gap that has not yet been closed.

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)
