SUMMARY:Lecture: Modern Alienation and its Antidotes: Strategies from Early 20th Chinese Buddhist Intellectuals
DESCRIPTION:Modern Alienation and its Antidotes: Strategies from Early 20th Chinese Buddhist Intellectuals\nEyal Aviv\nAssistant Professor of Religion\, Department of Religion\, George Washington University\n  \nJuly 01\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 2.739 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIntellectuals\, such as Nietzsche\, Weber\, and Adorno\, described modernity as a period of alienation resulting from the collapse of pre-modern social and political structures and the disintegration of shared values. Alienation leaves the individual disconnected from organic relational networks from which humans derive a sense of meaning. But is alienation an inevitable side effect of modernity? In this talk\, I will explore the examples of some leading Chinese Buddhist intellectuals in the modern period and argue that far from being alienated\, Chinese Buddhists seized the significant changes of the period as an opportunity to transform Buddhism and adapt it to the new era. While they were aware of China’s predicament after the collapse of the imperial world order and the spread of colonialism\, still\, they approached it in an engaged and constructive spirit. In the talk\, I will reflect on what prevents alienation from occurring and why not all modernisms were born alike. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Lecture: Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism
DESCRIPTION:Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism\nWang Hui\nProfessor of History\, Tsinghua University\n  \nJuly 08\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nBetween the 1920s and the 1940s\, first Naitō Torajirō and then Miyazaki Ichisada introduced several important propositions regarding the Tang to Song transition\, capitalism during the Song Dynasty\, and East Asian early modernity. Since then\, despite constant controversy\, revision\, and improvement\, one Kyoto School proposition has garnered universal acclaim: there is a basic difference between the Tang and Song\, and the Song Dynasty deserves special status in history. In the fields of Chinese intellectual history or philosophy\, some of the characteristics of the Confucianism of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties (and especially the School of Principle of the Cheng brothers and Zhu Xi) have been of use to modern Confucian scholars as a reference for understanding the early modern in Chinese or East Asian history. Follow this trend\, the basic principles of Confucianism are not only organized into the European philosophical categories of ontology and epistemology\, but also into such historical categories as: an inward turn\, rationalization\, and secularization. So\, was there an early modern in Chinese history\, or how to interpret China and its “modernity”? This talk will take the establishment of the concept of heavenly principle as a clue to address the above issues. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Lecture: From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republican China
DESCRIPTION:From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republican China\nKuo Ya-pei\nAssistant Professor\, Center for International Relations Research\, University of Groningen\n  \nJuly 15\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.609 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nSince the late 19th century\, the “East vs West” dichotomy has been the predominant framework for understanding Chinese civilization and its place in the world. This talk focuses on The Critical Review (Xueheng 學衡)\, a “conservative” platform launched in 1922\, and its effort to overcome this dichotomy. As many modern scholars have pointed out\, those who were associated with the journal\, such as Wu Mi and Mei Guangdi\, held a globalist agenda with a conviction in cultural commonality across the East-West divide. This talk elucidates the particularist dimension of their globalist position. In spite of the apparent disparity between the East and the West\, these intellectuals believed that regional civilizations contain certain shared\, universal elements. The undeniable particularity of each cultural system thereby presents no barrier to the advancement of history. Rather\, they argued that manifesting local specifics was a vehicle contributing to the modern quest for the universal. Through the notion of a diffused locus of the universal\, The Critical Review relativized the West’s place in the modern world. The second half of the talk reconsiders Mei Guangdi and Wu Mi’s indebtedness to their American “mentor” Irving Babbitt. While Babbitt’s hermeneutic method and historical outlook left an imprint on the intellectual lives of his Chinese students\, Wu and Mei were cognizant of their own as well as Babbitt’s particularity. Their globalism rendered both Prograssive-Era America and post-revolutionary China as parallels that could learn from each other but held neither to be the absolute paragon of human progress. Revering Babbitt\, Mei and Wu wittingly deviated from his teachings in formulating their interpretations of Chinese culture. They epitomized an especially sober kind of student of the West\, a kind that utilized the knowledge of the West to nurture their own cultural acumen\, without idolizing the West as an object of emulation. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd
