Lecture 1: Intellectual Implosion: The Break-up of Intellectual Thought during the Late Qing Period
About the Lecture
After the reign of Jiaqing and Daoguang, a couple of eminent Confucianist scholars gradually disagreed on the discussions of ‘Yin 隱 (implicit)’ and ‘Xian 顯 (explicit).’ The basis of knowledge pursuit also started to waver. Different interpretations already appeared for questions like ‘what is knowledge’, ‘what is Confucianism’, and ‘what is China’.
