香港中文大學中國研究中心勞格文教授在國際網絡教育平臺Coursera開設四門系列慕課

勞格文教授自2009至2014年陸續在世界一流學術出版社荷蘭博睿（Brill）出版了他主編的Early Chinese Religion One/Two, Modern Chinese Religion I/II四部八卷斷代中國宗教史著。這四部史著與劍橋中國史叢書的風格和體例類似，闡述了關於中國宗教史各個領域的一般性結論和總的看法，是對中國歷史上幾個重大轉型時期的國家宗教、儒釋道三教和民間宗教全面、權威、最新的論述。勞教授還根據這些史著在博睿出版了一部中國宗教簡史（Paradigm Shifts in Early and Modern Chinese Religion，2019），又在四部史著和一部簡史的基礎上通過國際網絡教育平臺Coursera開設了4門系列慕課，課程名稱總題為“A Critical Cultural History of China”，迄今全球註冊選課學子已逾萬人，是中華文明傳播海外的典範。

Course Overview

課程簡介

Welcome learners,

This sequence of four courses will propose a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Chinese cultural history conceived of as a succession of modes of rationality (philosophical, bureaucratic, and economic). The focus will be on the moments of paradigm shift from one mode of rationality to another. For each of these moments, cultural facts and artifacts—thought, literature, ritual—will be examined in relationship to changing social, political, and economic systems.

歡迎各位學習者，

本課程下屬的四個子課程構成一個序列，以多學科研究視角切入中國文化史, 將其視作諸多理性模式（如哲學、官僚體系、經濟）的嬗代。課程的著眼點是理性模式嬗代之際發生的範式轉變。對每一個發生範式轉變的時刻，我們都聯繫處於變化中的社會、政治和經濟體系來考察當時的文化實情和藝術成果（如思想、文學、儀式）。

The first two courses will cover the periods of the Warring States (481-221 BCE) and the Period of Division (220-589 CE), with a brief excursion into the Han (206 BCE-220 CE). The Warring States laid the social and cultural foundations for the emergence of the imperial mode of rationality; the Period of Division saw the Buddhist “conquest” of China and the emergence of a rationality defined by the opposition of the Three Teachings to shamanism, that is, of a clear contrast between elite and popular culture.

前兩個子課程覆蓋戰國時期（481-221BCE）和魏晉南北朝時期（220-589CE），並對漢代（206BCE-220CE）略作交代。戰國時期為帝國理性模式的出現打下了社會和文化的基礎。魏晉南北朝時期所見者乃是佛教“征服”中國以及三教與巫術對立之理性模式的出現——這讓精英文化與民間文化顯得涇渭分明。

The third and fourth courses will focus on the emergence of modern China in the Song-Yuan (960-1368) and of today’s China 1850 to the present. We will see how the modern attack on religion, redefined as "superstition", led not only to religious reform movements but also to a society in which science and the nation became the primary value systems promoted by the state.

第三、第四個子課程聚焦於近代中國之宋元時期（960-1368）和1850年迄今的情形。我們將看到的是，宗教在近代是如何被重新界定為“迷信”並受到攻擊，進而導致宗教改革運動，以及國家和社會對科學和民族所代表的價值體系的尊奉。

The courses are listed below:

·A Critical Cultural History of China - Early China I: Intellectual Change in the Warring States and Han (481 BCE-220 CE)

·A Critical Cultural History of China - Early China II: Religious Transformation in the Period of Division (220-589 CE)

·A Critical Cultural History of China - Modern China I: Religion and Thought in the Song, Jin, and Yuan (960-1368)

·A Critical Cultural History of China - Modern China II: Structuring Values (1850-2015)

課程序列可羅列如下：

•中國文化批評史——古代中國之一：戰國至漢代（481BCE-220CE）的思想轉變

•中國文化批評史——古代中國之二：魏晉南北朝時期（220-589CE）的宗教轉型

•中國文化批評史——近代中國之一：宋金元時期（960-1368）的宗教和思想

•中國文化批評史——近代中國之二：價值構建時期（1850-2015）
