  • What's Wrong with the Study of China/Countries
    Asian Studies II (XVIII), 1 (2014), pp. 151–185 What’s Wrong with the Study of China/Countries Hans KUIJPER* Abstract In this paper 1 the thesis is submitted that there is something fundamentally amiss in Western Sinology (Zhōngguóxué, as distinct from Hànxué, which is a kind of old- fashioned philology): ‘China experts’ either pretend to be knowledgeable about everything related to China, in which case they cannot be taken seriously, or–– eventually––admit not to be scientific all-rounders with respect to the country, in which case they cannot be called ‘China experts’. The author expects no tenured professor of Chinese Studies/History to share this view. Having exposed the weakness, indeed the scandal of old-style Sinology, he also points out the way junior Sinologists should go. The fork in that road is two-pronged: translating or collaborating. Keywords: Sinology, area/country studies, complexity, scientific collaboration, e-research Izvleček V tem članku avtor predstavi tezo, da je nekaj bistveno narobe v zahodni sinologiji (Zhōngguóxué, za razliko od Hànxué, ki je nekakšna staromodna filologija): »Kitajski strokovnjaki« se bodisi pretvarjajo, da so dobro obveščeni o vsem v zvezi s Kitajsko, in v tem primeru jih ni mogoče jemati resno, ali pa na koncu priznajo, da niso vsestransko znanstveni o državi, in jih v tem primeru ne moremo imenovati »Kitajske strokovnjake«. Avtor pričakuje, da nihče od univerzitetnih profesorjev kitajskih študij ali kitajske zgodovine ne deli tega stališča z njim. Z izpostavljenostjo šibkosti, kar je škandal za sinologijo starega sloga, opozarja tudi na pot, po kateri naj bi šli mladi sinologi. Na tej poti sta dve smeri, in sicer prevajanje ali sodelovanje.

  • Harmony in a World of Conflict and Crises: What We Can Take from Laozi’S Notion of Harmony
    Chapter 4 Harmony in a World of Conflict and Crises: What We Can Take from Laozi’s Notion of Harmony One of the main purposes of this chapter is to avail the wisdom of Laozi in the midst of the turmoil and unrest in the present world as well as to engage scholars from both the East and the West in a broad cultural and philosophical dialogue. What follows is a discussion on the contemporary significance of the philosophy of Laozi. Global Warming and “Dao Follows the Natural” In recent years, the so-called “global village” has increasingly become a reality— a reality directly opposed to the conceptions of the cosmos and of heaven and earth expressed two thousand years ago by Laozi and Zhuangzi. Still, the past century has seen two world wars, and divisions and conflict continue to exist all over the planet. Thus, conflict and dialogue also continue to be important concerns for all people of the world. Since ancient times, as we saw in Chapter 2, humankind has found itself faced with three kinds of conflicts: the conflict between humans and nature, the conflict between humans, and the conflict humans experience within themselves. In our present age, while we enjoy the many benefits of a techno- logical civilization, these conflicts have only amplified. The conflict between humans and nature has reached a state in which humans, to a yet unprece- dented degree, are plundering the natural resources of the earth that need- ed to sustain our existence. We only need to reflect on our own experience to profoundly understand the extent of the damage humans have inflicted on the earth: We are constantly faced with images of endless deforestation and of landscapes being devoured at a rapid pace; the rivers and streams which used to bustle with boats are now drying up day by day, and the intimate re- lation with the nature of our childhood years has been lost.

This may be said of seventeenth-century France under Louis XIV; of the Qing during the Qianlong reign of the eighteenth century; of Britain and Germany in the nineteenth century; and of the United States in the twentieth. China now aspires to educate global elites. For the twenty-½rst century, then, are Chinese universities poised for global leadership?
