Benjamin Elman (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania, 1980) is Professor of East Asian Studies and History with his primary department in East Asian Studies. His teaching and research fields include: 1) Chinese intellectual and cultural history, 1000-1900; 2) history of science in China, 1600-1930; 3) history of education in late imperial China; 4) Sino-Japanese cultural history, 1600-1850. His publications include: From Philosophy To Philology (1984, 1990, 2001); Classicism, Politics, and Kinship (1990); A Cultural History of Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China (2000). He has recently completed two book projects: On Their Own Terms: Science in China, 1550-1900 (2005), and A Cultural History of Modern Science in Late Imperial China (2006). A new work entitled Meritocracy and Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China (HUP) is forthcoming in fall 2013. He is also currently editing several volumes from conferences held at Princeton under the auspices of PIIRS, EAP, and the Mellon Foundation on "Science in Republican China," "Languages, Literacies, and Vernaculars in Early Modern East Asia," and "Medical Classics and Medical Philology in East Asian, 1400-1900." During his leave in AY14, Elman will visit archives in China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. His previous sabbatical leave in 2007-2008 was supported by a research fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies.” Since then he has continued working on a new project entitled "The Intellectual Impact of Late Imperial Chinese Classicism, Medicine, and Science in Tokugawa Japan, 1700-1850," under the auspices of summer research grants from the Chiang Ching Kuo Foundation in Taiwan and the Mellon Foundation.
From Philosophy to Philology is an indispensable work on the intellectual life of China’s literati in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. While there was not a scientific revolution in China, there was an intellectual one. The shock of the Manchu conquest and the collapse of the Ming dynasty in 1644 led to a rejection of the moral self-cultivation that dominated intellectual life under the Ming. China’s scholars, particularly in the Yangzi River Basin, sought to restore China’s greatness by recapturing the wisdom of the ancients from the Warring States period (403–221 B.C.) and the Former Han dynasty (202 B.C.–9 A.D.), much as Renaissance Europe rediscovered the Greeks and Romans. But in China scholars faced the daunting task of determining which of many editions of the Classics were the true originals and which were forged additions of later centuries.
The ensuing search for authentic texts led to the founding of academies and libraries, the compiling of bibliographies, the rise of printing of editions of the Classics and Histories and commentaries on their components, the study of ancient inscriptions, and a two-hundred-year effort to discover and discard forged texts. In the process rigorous standards of scholarly training were adopted, and scholarship became a full-time profession distinct from gentry farmers or imperial officials.
按:从网上搜到的几篇书评大都是从学理与方法的角度切入的,大概跟此书与众思想史不同的写作体例不无关系。不过我还是希望看到更实质的探讨,比如说如何理解艾尔曼所谓的乾嘉考据学共同体这一问题,在没有完备的学术机构的前现代社会,用现代学术共同体的眼光来审视其组织形态...
评分就如译文所示,这是一本有关“中华帝国晚期思想与社会”面面观式的综述性论著,作者运用了“库恩的‘科学共同体’和福柯的‘话语’理论”以及“综汇学术史、社会史与一体的研究方法”(这一方法就被称为“欧美最近出现的新文化史方法”,也即是风靡一时的知识社会学),探讨了...

评分六月第一周,读艾尔曼《从理学到朴学》与《经学、政治和宗族》二书,写得都非常好看。以知识社会学为方法来写的书,其实都很丰富有趣。由于两书名气甚大,都知道这是知识社会学治汉学的经典,所以我这里只谈一些细微的感受。 《从理学到朴学》,最精彩的是三四五章。研究了考...
评分从明到清,学术话语发生了一次巨大的转变,理学在被极大打击过后,异变成了以考据为核心的朴学,江南学术群体通过亲缘、地域等联系,形成了一群学术派系,他们在编修四库的时候就选择与自己学术观点相同的书籍,从而为之后学术研究发展的私家化做了铺垫。考据是义理的最终裁定...
专业英语什么的……
评分清代考证学史必读书。
评分重读加星。虽然有不足,但是在那个年代把这个框架做成这样真是很不容易了。
评分专业英语什么的……
评分清代尤其是18世紀學術轉變的內部動因及整個學術機制的變革。很必讀的作品,看完感覺很多繪畫史上的轉變都好理解多了。
