Speech and Nature: An Introduction to the Study of Traditional Chinese Scholarship
type: CreativeWork
description: An authentic introduction to the scholarship of traditional China must proceed through an uprooting of the ideological obstacles or peculiarly modern biases ordinarily preventing us from understanding writers of the pre-modern past as they understood themselves. As the upshot of the unfolding of modernity, our age is dominated by the systematic rejection (not merely a fateful forgetfulness) of the very possibility---explored in all seriousness throughout China's pre-modern past---of a form of scholarship that attains to permanent features of reality underlying the "external," spatio-temporal "life-world" ( Lebenswelt)1 of experience.
