On Hu Shih’s “Anti-Neo-Confucianism” 胡適の「反理学」について 饒, 佳栄 Rao, Jiarong 理学 科学主義 反伝統主義 社会進化論 学術的系譜 Neo-Confucianism Scientism anti-Traditionalism Social Evolutionism academic genealogy 関西大学 Kansai University The critique of Neo-Confucianism (anti-Neo-Confucianism, 反理学) constitutes a significant aspect of Hu Shih’s thought. This critique operates on two levels: academic research and social criticism, with its ideological foundation rooted in the evolutionary historicism and empirical scientism. On the academic level, Hu Shih constructed a genealogy of “anti-Neo-Confucianism,” which reflected his understanding of the intellectual and academic history of modern China. On the social front, his anti-Neo-Confucian stance was a response to the intellectual debates in post-World War I China, particularly the East-West Cultural Debate (東西文化論争) and the Science versus Metaphysics Debate (科学と玄学の論争) , demonstrating his commitment to anti-traditionalism and scientism. At its essence, his anti-Neo- Confucianism was a rejection of orthodoxy, traditional morality, metaphysics, and superstition, which effectively dissected Neo-Confucianism in the process. However, his critique was not based on a thorough and in-depth study of the Neo-Confucianism. This limitation prevented him from transcending the intellectual confines of the Neo-Confucian thought, which weakened the depth and effectiveness of his critique. departmental bulletin paper 関西大学大学院東アジア文化研究科 2025-03-31 VoR application/pdf 東アジア文化交渉研究 = Journal of East Asian cultural interaction studies 18 163 194 AA12327433 18827748 https://kansai-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2002654/files/KU-1100-20250331-12.pdf https://doi.org/10.32286/0002002654 http://hdl.handle.net/10112/0002002654 https://kansai-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2002654 jpn open access
