Sinic Perspectivism:Mutual Learning among Civilizations and the Originality of Chinese Social Science
The paper proposes"Sinic perspectivism"that offers empirical interpretations on non-Chinese societies with Chinese thought.Modern social science is a product of Western scholars applying their observations of their own world to the worlds beyond.True innovation lies not in discovering new"exceptions"distant but in returning to their"Greek-Roman episteme"to offer new interpretations.This approach of enriching one's own civilization through interpreting the other worlds inherits the common human wisdom of mutual learning among civilizations."Sinic perspectivism"aims to transcend"Chinese exceptionalism"by exploring the universality of Chinese thought.It offers Sinic perspective for"cultural translation"of the infinitely complex non-Chinese world,complementing Western discourses through academic dialogue in specific empirical studies.The process hopes to foster a dynamic of producing original knowledge system in Chinese social sciences.
