Knowledge Forging in Chinese Sociology——An Indigenous Interpretation of Knowledge Sociology
Starting from the relationship between thought or knowledge and(social)existence,the sociology of knowledge created by Marx,Scheler and Mannheim has established and effectively expanded its entire narrative framework.On this basis,the new sociology of knowledge,which developed in the second half of the 20th century,emphasized the relationship between knowledge and various local situations and human communities,knowledge and power,and knowledge and media forms other than paper text.Applying the sociology of knowledge to the 120-year history of Chinese sociology,which is divided into two periods,can clearly show how an external knowledge system is embedded in the modern changes of traditional China,presenting the social transformation brought about by this rapid change with its radical and conservative contradictory characters,and becoming the best narrative about the complexity of the transforming society.Similarly,Fei Xiaotong,the most important knowledge producer and organizer of Chinese sociology before and after the two periods,with the dual identity of"priests"and"prophet",also excellently interprets the dual characteristics as the contradictory character of sociology.
