Inhaltsangabe

The three-volume project 'Concepts and Methods for the Study of Chinese Religions' is a timely review of the history of the study of Chinese religions, reconsiders the present state of analytical and methodological theories, and initiates a new chapter in the methodology of the field itself. The three volumes raise interdisciplinary and cross-tradition debates, and engage methodologies for the study of East Asian religions with Western voices in an active and constructive manner.

Within the overall project, this volume addresses the intellectual history and formation of critical concepts that are foundational to the Chinese religious landscape. These concepts include lineage, scripture, education, discipline, religion, science and scientism, sustainability, law and rites, and the religious sphere.

With these topics and approaches, this volume serves as a reference for graduate students and scholars interested in Chinese religions, the modern cultural and intellectual history of China (including mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Chinese communities overseas), intellectual and material history, and the global academic discourse of critical concepts in the study of religions.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book, part of a three-volume assessment of methodological issues in the study of Chinese religions, assesses critically the intellectual history and development of key concepts in those traditions. These concepts include endogenous Chinese concepts and exogenous ideas from the West and Japan. Some chapters go beyond a binary model of Chinese concepts versus Western-imported concepts, and find that certain ideas that are normally identified as ‘foreign’ were in fact already present in the classical pre-modern Chinese world, although they were reshaped and re-imagined in the new intellectual milieu of nineteenth and early twentieth-century China. This intellectual history of religious ideas addresses lineage and kinship, scripture and printing, discipline and ethics, education and learning, law and rites, religion and the religious sphere, science and scientism, sustainability and environment.
