Abstract

Selon Léon Vandermeersch, l'idéographie chinoise a été inventée, au XIIIe siècle avant notre ère, pour noter non des discours, mais des divinations. Ce système de notation d'équations divinatoires s'est transformé au cours d'un demi-millénaire en une langue graphique restée relativement indépendante de la langue parlée. Ce n'est qu'au VIIIe siècle de notre ère qu'une écriture (idéographique) de la langue parlée a été extraite de cette langue graphique. A l'appui de cette thèse, l'auteur étudie l'invention chinoise des équations divinatoires, étude jamais entreprise auparavant, la divination pratiquée au néolithique chinois ayant été abondamment décrite, mais sans être autrement étudiée. Cette étude met aussi en évidence la pénétration d'un rationalisme divinatoire au plus profond de la culture chinoise historique, marquée de "raison manticologique" au lieu de la raison théologique. Léon Vandermeersch laisse ouverte la question de savoir si, après une dramatique occidentalisation à marche forcée à partir des guerres de l'Opium, la Chine d'aujourd'hui pourrait redécouvrir la fécondité de sa propre culture, pas encore remise d'avoir subi, après le mépris des modernistes de l'entre-deux-guerres, un complet écrasement sous le totalitarisme maoïste

Abstract

This ambitious work provides a systematic study of Chinese theories of reading and writing in intellectual thought and critical practice. The author maintains that there are two major hermeneutic traditions in Chinese literature: the politico-moralistic mainstream and the metaphysico-aesthetical undercurrent. In exploring the interaction between the two, Ming Dong Gu finds a movement toward interpretive openness. In this, the Chinese practice anticipates modern and Western theories of interpretation, especially literary openness and open poetics. Classic Chinese works are examined, including the Zhouyi (the I Ching or Book of Changes), the Shijing (the Book of Songs or Book of Poetry), and selected poetry, along with the philosophical background of the hermeneutic theories. Ultimately, Gu relates the Chinese practices of reading to Western hermeneutics, offering a cross-cultural conceptual model for the comparative study of reading and writing in general.

Abstract

In this book, Robert Wardy, a philosopher and classicist, turns his attention to the relation between language and thought. He explores this huge topic in an analysis of linguistic relativism, with specific reference to a reading of the ming li t'an ('The Investigation of the Theory of Names'), a seventeenth-century Chinese translation of Aristotle's Categories. Throughout his investigation, Wardy addresses important questions. Do the basis structures of language shape the major thought-patterns of its native speakers? Could philosophy be guided and constrained by the language in which it is done? What factors, from grammar and logic to cultural and religious expectations, influence translation? And does Aristotle survive rendition into Chinese intact? His answers will fascinate philosphers, Sinologists, classicists, linguists and anthropologists, and will make a major contribution to the existing literature.
