As early as the Warring States period in China (fourth through third centuries b.c.), debates arose concerning how and under what circumstances new institutions could be formed and legitimated.

As early as the Warring States period in China (fourth through third centuries b.c.), debates arose concerning how and under what circumstances new institutions could be formed and legitimated. But the debates quickly encompassed more than just legitimation. Larger issues came to the fore: Can a sage innovate? If so, under what conditions? Where did human culture originally come from? Was it created by human sages? Is it therefore an artificial fabrication, or was it based in part on natural patterns? Is it possible for new sages to emerge who could create something better?
This book studies these debates from the Warring States period to the early Han (second century b.c.), analyzing the texts in detail and tracing the historical consequences of the various positions that emerged. It also examines the time’s conflicting narratives about the origin of the state and how these narratives and ideas were manipulated for ideological purposes during the formation of the first empires.
While tracing debates over the question of innovation in early China, the author engages such questions as the prevailing notions concerning artifice and creation. This is of special importance because early China is often described as a civilization that assumed continuity between nature and culture, and hence had no notion of culture as a fabrication, no notion that the sages did anything other than imitate the natural world. The author concludes that such views were not assumptions at all. The ideas that human culture is merely part of the natural world, and that true sages never created anything but instead replicated natural patterns arose at a certain moment, then came to prominence only at the end of a lengthy debate.

读普鸣《作与不作》的一点思考
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
注:括号内数字为中译本页码。 普鸣此书是在1994年芝加哥大学博士论文的基础上修改而成,大致属“观念史”的研究作品。 先谈“作”字的翻译。中译本绪论第1页译者专门在脚注中谈了create的英译问题,译者指出,普鸣谈create及creation是在认为创造、造作的意义上讲的。但必须注... (展开)论述合理性上优于《成神》
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
《作与不作》一书对个人最具启发之处是对黄帝的探讨,之前古史辨派从文献年代出发,确定了黄帝是战国才出现的,层累地被叠加到帝系之中。而普鸣从文献语境入手,发现战国人对黄帝的讨论皆围绕“黄帝造作”展开(之前读陆威仪《早期中国的洪水神话》,他对禹的讨论亦是这一进路... (展开)【转】何青翰:自然与僭政——评普鸣《作与不作》

导言以及二章,对荀子的解释以前没见过。 导言的梳理很好,从17世纪到20世纪中西概念比较,西方的“断裂”与中的“连续性”。作者之后认为应该从一个传统问题域以及发展(纵切面)来看问题,我也觉得这比横切面有了更深入的哲学思考。 看第二章,老师还贴心给了古希腊的关于nomos和phusis论辩的阅读材料来对比阅读《philosophy before socrates》。
