SUMMARY:Lecture: Chinese Intellectuals’ Rethinking of Science\, Religion and Superstition in the 20th Century: From Yan Fu\, Liang Qichao to New Confucians Huang Ko-Wu 黃克武\, Academia Sinica
DESCRIPTION:June 17\, 2022\, 10:100 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \nLate Qing and early Republican China has been regarded as a “secularized” age that ended “the era of classical learning” and opened the door to an empirical\, scientific search for knowledge. With the progress of secularization\, science gradually established its authoritative status. Thinkers of the May Fourth period\, such as Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu\, held science in high esteem and emphasized a clear-cut definition of science and superstition. To them\, religions were superstitions that needed to be eliminated. This led to many debates. There were two famous debates in the early Republican period. One was the spiritualism debate and the other was the science and metaphysics debate. The latter was influenced by the former in terms of vocabulary and issues. This lecture will describe these two debates and use Yan Fu and Liang Qichao as two examples to illustrate their views on science\, religion and superstition. Their views had a very complex origin. They attempted to rely on traditional spiritual resources to bridge East and West in order to build the moral and intellectual foundation needed for a modern state. New Confucians such as Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan inherited the legacy of Yan and Liang. They resisted May Fourth scientism and anti-traditionalism\, and thought more deeply about the serious issue of how Chinese tradition and Western modernity should converge. \nDr. Max K. W. Huang was born in Taipei\, Taiwan in 1957. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in History from Nation Taiwan Normal University. He subsequently pursued his studies in the United Kingdom and the United States\, receiving a second master’s degree from Oxford University and his Ph. D degree from Stanford University. He is a distinguished research fellow at the Institute of Modern History\, Academia Sinica. His major fields are Ming-Qing studies and Modern Chinese intellectual history. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles. Dr. Huang’s most recent book is Yan Fu: The Man Who Enlightened China with His Pen (筆醒山河：中國近代啟蒙人嚴復\, 廣西師範大學出版社，2022年). \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China. \nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nSponsor: \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen
