图片报道： 韦伯与中国国际大会, 2013
中国、西方与未来全球资本主义还是其他社会形态？
据伦敦大学亚非学院最近的新闻报道， “全球经济体系的未来取决于西方同中国的关系。一百年前，马克斯∙韦伯，现代西方社会学与政治学的创始人，对文化因素阻碍了非西方背景的西式的资本主义兴 起的有着经典研究的著述。” 2013年9月5-6日，题为“韦伯与中国：文化，法律与资本主义”的国际大会成功地在伦敦大学亚非学院举行。近百名来自中国和世界各地的社会科学家重新 审视韦伯命题，探讨他开创的社会科学方法在多大程度上可以诠释当今纷繁复杂的经济发展状态。会后，我们收到一些与会者的来函，称赞本次大会是：
- “一个伟大 的胜利！”
- “一次具有重要意义的会议”！
- “一次激励智力及其丰产的会议！”
- “一次棒极了的会议”……

伦敦大学亚非学院金融与经济管理系准教授薄宏博士（左图）主持了开幕式；伦敦大学亚非学院院长保罗•韦伯利Paul Webley教授（中图）致欢迎辞并介绍了亚非学院，这一在全球领先的研究亚洲、非洲和中东地区的教研机构。 英国社会学会荣誉副会长、德国波恩大学高研院院士马丁•阿尔布劳Martin Albrow教授（右图）指出，我们相聚一堂是因为对会议主题的共同学术兴趣，而非某个大团体或机构的特殊项目，并表达了他对主办这次大会的亚非学院、组委会成员以及参与者的感谢。
主题演讲
四场主题演讲分别安排在9月5-6日两天的上午和下午。
德国海德堡大学马克斯•韦伯社会学系荣休教授沃尔夫冈•施鲁赫特Wolfgang Schluchter做了题为“如何让思想在历史中富有成效：马克斯•韦伯对儒教及延伸之研究”的主题演讲。他对韦伯的儒家思想应用作了重要澄清，认为 “禁欲的新教的最明显的反例，从表面看似相似，但实质上完全不同。韦伯尝试用儒教开发一种社会学和宗教理性主义的类型学。儒家思想也被他用作背景去理解西 方发展的奇特性。”
他的这一演讲也是“首次《马克斯•韦伯研究》的年度讲座”。《马克斯•韦伯研究》主编、伦敦都市大学全球政策研究所文化与现代化项目主任山姆•威姆斯特教授主持了该演讲。
苏国勋教授（中图）因健康原因缺席会议，章晓英博士（左 图，中国北京外国语大学）代为宣读其演讲稿。苏国勋教授是中国社科院社会学所荣休研究员、哈尔滨工程大学社会学系教授，是中国最著名的韦伯研究专家。他指 出，由于一些错误的观念导致韦伯曲解中国文化的某些元素，他试图探究出更精细的方法来进行不同文明间的分析。听众对其观点提出许多重要的和感兴趣的问题。 全球中国比较研究会共同会长、伦敦大学亚非学院中国研究中心研究员、组委会联席主席常向群博士（右图）主持了这场演讲，她提议把所有的批评、评论及问题反馈给苏教授并寻求他的回应，希望在2014出版的《中国比较研究》特刊上发表一篇“一位中国学者与西方韦伯研究者的‘缺席’的对话”。
左边的照片是马丁•阿尔布劳教授(左图)主持大会的第三场嘉宾演讲，他拿着由斯蒂芬•凯尔伯格（右图）翻译并撰写前言的增补版《马克斯•韦伯：新教伦理与资本主义精神》。斯蒂芬•凯尔伯格Stephen Kalberg教授是美国波士顿大学社会学教授，他在其主题演讲中强调韦伯的系统方法和不同文明的比较分析的持续相关性，并对韦伯理论及其当代意义作了重要的重新评估，详见他的《马克斯•韦伯的历史比较社会学》（2012）一书。观众对此提出许多有趣的问题。
最后一位演讲人是美国华盛顿大学国际关系学院副院长、社会学系韩格理Gary Hamilton教授（左下图）。沃尔夫冈•施鲁赫特教授（右 下 图）主持了演讲。他承认从韩格理的韦伯研究中学到了两件事：第一，韩格理基于亚洲的资本主义的家庭研究让他认识到，韦伯坚持资本主义要求把家庭和公司分开 的观点不适用于亚洲。第二，他同意韩格理的观点，认为韦伯在基于“孝”和“父权”而进行的传统中国和古罗马社会的比较中出现了错误。施鲁赫特在提到这一点 时展示了去年出版的费孝通《乡土中国》中英对照版，英译本由韩格理和王政（下一组照片右二）翻译。中英文对照版《乡土中国》的编辑曾在2010年费孝通教 授百年诞辰纪念时主持了一个韩格理教授和常向群博士之间的对话，讨论费孝通对世界人类学和全球社会学的贡献。对话的缩节版发表在英国皇家人类学会会刊 Anthropology Today 的2011年第6期（左边第一、二张照片），对话完整版见2011年第1卷第2期《中国比较研究》。 韩格理在演讲中展示了池塘中的单一的纹波和多个波纹的图片来解说“差序格局”中的关系的不同模式，并指出每个人都是自己关系圈的中心。韩格理曾在一个更大 的 框架中用费孝通的“差序格局”和“团体格局”纠正了韦伯的“孝”和“父权”观点，这篇早期论文发表在《中国比较研究》（JCCP）的创刊号上（2011年 6月第1期）上。《中国比较研究》创刊号（右图）的主要文章都和费孝通的《乡土中国——中国社会的基础》相 关（副标题为费孝通和韩格理讨论英文版书名时一起加上去的）。这本书中文版发表于1947年，英文版1992年。但它至今仍然有价值，因为后来的中国学者 许多重要著作都是建立在此基础上的；而且甚至连本书的译者韩格理本人，都忽略或没有充分理解费孝通在这本书中提出的许多重要观点（常向 群，2011,1(1):32，JCCP）。费孝通《乡土中国》发表15年后，王斯福(Stephan Feuchtwang)才认真地阅读了此书，写了“社会的利己主义和个人主义：一位西方汉学人类学家的惊喜和问题——阅读费孝通教授的中西对比 ”一文，这篇对“差序格局”较为深入研究的论文的中英文版，同时再现于《中国比较研究》2011年第1卷第2期。（注意：该期刊封底的网址和邮箱地址分别 从2013年3月和7月停用。目前电子邮件是：journal@ccpn-global.org；网站：www.journal.ccpn-global.org).
会议结束后，韩格理说，本次大会使我意识到，要建立一个中国比较研究的框架还有很多事要做。
全体会议
本次大会还安排了三次全体会议。英国雷丁大学欧洲研究中心联席主任Athena Leoussi博士主持第一次全体大会。英国伦敦经济学院亚洲中心主任阿塔•侯赛因(Athar Hussain)教授, 发表了关于中国人才选拔方面的演讲，认为中国学校的考试排名选拔制度对那些有钱让孩子参加课外辅导班的家庭有利，但对穷人家的孩子却不公平。随后，《马克斯∙韦伯研究》主编山姆•威姆斯特教授做 了题为“韦伯社会经济分析”的演讲，他认为韦伯的类型学不应束之高阁，要用于案例研究，韦伯在1906年把类型学应用于俄国，如今我们得应用于中国。他建 议，韦伯的关键概念，如经济能力、配置分配合法力、占有或挪用(appropriation)、劳动分工的形式、组织形式、国家与政权、社会化，可直接用 于分析过去几十年中国经济的发展 ，而不需要用正确的资本主义的标准模式来判断。
第二次全体会议主持人是彼得∙福鲁格尔博士（Peter Flügel）（中图），他是伦敦大学亚非学院宗教研究系高级讲师。美国俄勒冈亚洲研究中心主任、历史学教授顾德曼Bryna Goodman（右图）发表了一篇题为“伦理文化不是俱乐部：早期中国证券交易体系中的政治、法律和资本”的演讲。 她把1921年上海股市泡沫作为一个案例研究，以个体商人和上海商会公开辩论的形式，探究经济发展、自由与国家主权等引起公众争议的问题。这里反映出的问 题，韦伯在自我防御19世纪90年代Kaiserreich证券交易已经提出过。接着，美国和理大学历史系主任、哈佛大学法学院研究员高鸿钧Karen Turner教授（左 图）发表了“为国家服务的宗教：重新审视韦伯的中国传统观”的演讲。她分析道，根据出土文献与传播文本的修正后观点，在帝国形成时期，高度的理性塑造了中 国的官僚机构，并论证了中国比西方要早得多就通过礼法典籍发展了一种有效的制度，用于管理经济、服务国家。她指出，儒家的官员大多是自私和不准备为根本的 改变做出牺牲的。
第三次全体会议是由英国社会学会韦伯分会主席、 英国索尔德福大学社会学系高级讲师卡洛斯•弗雷德Carlos Frade博士（左图）主持。这次会议的两场演讲均由两人联席演示。上半场由美国芝加哥大学人类学系冯珠娣Judith Farquhar教授（右图）和中国北京大学医学部人文研究院高级讲师赖立里博士（中 图）联席，她们合著的论文题为，“中国国药（National Medicines）：制度理性和‘愈合的魅力(charisma)”。她们从实证研究中发现，任何社会的政权都不是纯粹的“理性”，因为医疗信息的理性 系统最终只是医学美术或“愈合魅力”的表层。她们试图表明，无论是理论上还是在中国历史实践中，理性和非理性都有共构关系。大家对此观点提出了许多问题， 例如，施鲁赫特认为“人格魅力” 是一个政治概念，是领导者与追随者的个人关系的先决条件。但两位作者引证了“神奇的魅力”的实践中的用法（见：王斯福和王铭铭合著的《基层卡理斯玛： 中国的四种地方领袖》(2001年)。这两种情况都说明了，韦伯的“魅力”可以用于“富有想象力的”实证研究方式。这里似乎有两种观点：一种是会议上提出 的严格地将“魅力”一词用于中国社会语境的观点；另一种提出如何将韦伯的概念在中国语境的实证研究“富有想象力”地应用？
第三次全体会议下半场演讲是英国社会学会荣誉副会长、德国波恩大学高研院院士马丁•阿尔布劳Martin Albrow教授（右图）和北京外国语大学英语学院副院长、新闻系系主任章晓英博士(左图)联席演示的。
标 题为“世界之外的世界：韦伯、中国及公正的旁观者”。这场演讲类似一场对话：阿尔布劳解释说，“世界”这一概念是韦伯的比较宗教研究的 中心。章博士介绍了中国人对世界的理解（世界和天下）。马丁还介绍了曾在中国生活和教书的约翰•杜威John Dewey和贝特朗•罗素Bertrand Russell等思想家对世界的理解，欣赏那个与西方不同的世界。
两位演讲者提出了“共享的不同世界”以取代“大同世界”的观点。作为《全球时代》的作 者，阿尔布劳把话题转向了“世界”，这从《新的世界秩序中的中国思想》系列丛书可见一斑，此系列丛书由阿尔布劳提议、中国社会科学文献出版社资助。章博士在演讲中提及的赵汀阳著的《全球系统》一书被列入此系列，书中提出了一个中国视野的世界观体系。
小组会议
本 次会议共收到近50篇提交的论文含合著的论文。除了专题演讲和缺席者的论文之外，其余30篇论文被分为10小组。它们是：重读韦伯，韦伯的合理化研究，儒 家思想和工作伦理，中国法律，比较视野中的中国法律，现代性与中国崛起，比照现代中国经济重温韦伯，中国政府和市场社会主义，中国企业，中国的投资。上面 照片是从小组会议中任意选取的。最上面的照片是伦敦经济学院经济史系准教授邓钢博士在主持小组会议。
上面的照片展现不同小组的成员在宣讲他们的论文。中国全球共生研究院院长钱宏教授做 了题为“韦伯的资本主义精神与共生价值观”的有趣演讲。钱教授把卡尔•马克思和马克斯•韦伯进行了比较，认为马克思用“批判的武器”来审视资本主义，而韦 伯却发现了新教伦理与资本主义精神之间的内在关系。然后他把资本主义社会和社会主义社会进行了一个简单的比较，指出，“资本主义遇到了自身发展的局限，对 抗和负面性。结果，在处理人与自然、人与人、人与自身的关系时，新教伦理与韦伯资本主义精神遭遇到极大的困境，而中国的社会主义却成为一个“国家资本主 义”。他的结论是，无论是社会化的资本主义还是资本化的社会主义都困境重重。基于他的研究和经验，在整合古老的东方智慧与当代生物学“共生起源”发现的基 础上，钱教授提出了全球生态语境下的中国哲学——“共生价值观”，简单地表达为“自己活也让别人活”。这一思想已经得到中国新一代领导人认可。他建议， “共生价值观”可作为一个原则用，来处理世界上的三大关系：人与自然、人与人、人与自身。为了践行“共生价值观”，钱教授用333个汉字提出“共生十 诫”。底部的照片是钱教授演讲后把“共生十诫”作为礼物赠送给小组主持人马丁•阿尔布劳教授。
问答环节
每次大会或小组演讲后都有问答环节，它们也同等重要。随意选取的照片展现了热情的观众参与大会的始终。正是观众和演讲者的共同努力让大会充满智慧的光芒。
闭幕大会
闭幕大会由两部分组成。闭幕大会是以“资本主义的未来”这一主题讨论开场的，这场主题活动是由《马克斯∙韦伯研究》主编山姆•威姆斯特教授组织和主持的。斯科特•拉什Scott Lash（上图左一）是英国伦敦大学哥德斯密学院文化研究中心主任及社会学教授。他是《构建中国的资本主义：经济生活和城市变化》一 书的合著者，此书在大会开幕前两天由罗特里奇出版公司出版。他认为，中国要不被视为在财产法和合同法方面落后于西方企业标准，或者被看作是执意实行新版本 自由主义。相反，新自由主义经济生活是个性化的和剥离脱嵌的，而中国模式是相互联系和紧密结合的。同时，其庞大的城市变化已被视为一种新形式的“本土国家 资本主义”。韦伯的工具理性已经被重新定义为一种新的实质理性，延伸到伦理争论。这时主持人提出“中国模式是否是资本主义模式的分支”的问题，几位著名公 共知识分子回应了这个问题。底排照片从左到右依次为：大英帝国勋章荣膺者斯蒂芬•陈教授（左图），英国伦敦大学亚非学院法律与社会科学院院长、前国际关系学院院长，《中国道德在非洲：中世纪王国与黑暗大陆》主编。他认为，中国注重全球秩序的基本特征：表现在对威斯特伐利亚国家主权的概念和成为WTO成员。在与非洲的贸易问题上，中国官员对其目标进行了非常冷静的成本效益分析。李淯（中图），畅销书《美国能向中国学什么》一书的作者，美国纽约大学金融和经济学客座教授，中国西亚斯国际大学教授，她持更为温和的观点，指出中国正在进行蓬勃的新举措，并没有受到美国现在功能失调的影响。右图是马丁•雅克，全球畅销书《当中国统治世界：西方世界的终结和全球新秩序的诞生》(2009，2012） 的作者, 伦敦经济学院高级客座研究员、中国清华大学的客座教授。马丁认为，从目前的趋势来看，中国将很快掌握全球主导权；例如，我们预期美元的国际优势能持续多 久？然后幻想性地假设中国将遵守一个西方建立的模型和规则。还有最近还没得到解决的金融危机，凸显了西方的弱点和急需新的生命力。正如马丁•阿尔布劳所说 的：我们不是进入了信息普及的时代？接下来的广博而生动的问答回归到韦伯自己的定律，理性结构要求一个成功的现代性，资本主义的动力是以内在的紧张和危险 为特征。
最后，伦敦大学亚非学院中国法律讲师、大会组委会联席主席康佩理Ernest Caldwell(左图)主持大会闭幕致辞。斯蒂芬•陈教授(中图)代表亚非学院感谢大家的参与，正是大家的积极参与会议才取得圆满的成功。这让他想起1973年他第一次阅读韦伯作品，过去的40年他对韦伯思想有了更深的理解，并且有助于他的研究。全球中国比较研究会共同会长、英国伦敦大学亚非学院中国研究中心研究员常向群博士(右图)，对所有直接或间接、体力上、精神上、情感上、智力上、经济上等等帮助会议成功举办的人表达由衷的感谢！她引用中国古话“吃水不忘挖井人”依次对以下个人与团体表达诚挚的谢意：
- 感谢伦敦经济学院中国比较研究网创办主任和《中国比较研究》创刊主编王斯福教授，使“全球中国比较研究会”和《中国比较研究》期刊得以组织和赞助“韦伯与中国”大会；
- 感谢Elisabeth Croll教授于2006年安排常向群博士在亚非学院中国研究中心做研究员，没有这个缘起，我们也不可能在亚非学院召开这次大会。
- 感谢马丁•阿尔布劳教授提议伦敦经济学院中国比较研究网与其他单位共同主办“韦伯与中国”大会，并领导组委会成功地举办了这次会议。
- 感 谢亚非学院同事们：中国研究中心主任陈靝沅(Tian Yuan Tan)博士、亚非学院新近成立的中国研究所创始主任Michel Hockx教授、朱莉教授、薄宏博士、康佩理先生、 保罗•韦伯利教授、斯蒂芬陈教授、Andrea Janku博士、 Peter Flügel博士、 Carol Tan博士以及亚非学院中心和项目办公室经理Jane Savory女士， 感谢他们会议自始至终提供的各种形式的帮助。

Photo report: Max Weber and China conference was successfully held at SOAS, 2013
China, the West and the Future of Global Capitalism – or Not?
From a recent press release of SOAS, ‘the future of the global economic system depends on the West’s relations with China. A hundred years ago Max Weber, famous as a founder of modern Western social and political science, wrote a classic study of cultural factors that hindered the rise of Western style capitalism in non-Western contexts.’ On 5-6 September, a conference entitled ‘Max Weber and China: Culture, Law and Capitalism’, was successfully held at SOAS, University of London. Nearly a hundred social scientists from China and around the world re-examined Weber’s thesis and asked how far his pioneering social scientific methods can illuminate the very different conditions of economic growth today. After the conference we received praise from some conference participants:
- ‘A great triumph!’
- ‘a significant conference!’
- ‘a fantastic conference!’
- ‘an intellectually productive conference!’
We hope you will enjoy the photo news below which will highlight some features of the conference and show some initial reflections. Your material and opinions are welcome and will be used to update this page from time to time.
The two photos above show the conference plenary venues (G2: top) and (V211: bottom), SOAS.
Dr Hong Bo (left), Reader in the Financial Economics Department of Financial & Management Studies at SOAS, University of London, chaired the Opening session; Professor Paul Webley (middle), SOAS Director, made welcoming remarks and introduced SOAS as the world’s leading institution for the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East; Professor Martin Albrow (right), Fellow of Kӓte Hamburger Centre for Advanced Study, University of Bonn, Germany and Honorary Vice-President, British Sociological Association (BSA), pointed out that we have joined together out of shared scholarly interest in the conference theme, not as part of a programme mandated by big associations or institutions, and expressed his gratitude to SOAS, to some Conference Programme Committee members and to everyone participating who played key roles in organising this conference for hosting and organising this conference.
Keynote speeches
There were four keynote speeches in this conference which arranged in the morning and afternoon each on the 5 and 6 September. Wolfgang Schluchter, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Director of the Marsilius-Kolleg, University of Heidelberg, Germany, made a keynote speech entitled ‘How ideas become effective in history: Max Weber on Confucianism and beyond’. He made an important clarification of Weber’s usage of Confucianism, ‘the most pronounced counterexample to ascetic Protestantism, seemingly similar from the outside, but totally different from the inside. So Confucianism is included in his attempt to provide a sociology and typology of religious rationalism. Confucianism is also used as a backdrop to understand the singularity of the Western development’. This speech also served as the ‘first Max Weber Studies Annual Lecture’. It was chaired by its Editor Sam Whimster, Professor of Sociology and Global Policy Institute, London, UK
Although Professor Su Guoxun (middle) was absent from the conference for health reasons, his speech was delivered at the conference by Dr Xiaoying Zhang (left, Beijing Foreign Studies University, China). Su, the foremost Chinese expert on Weber from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Harbin Engineering University, pointed out some of the misconceptions that led Weber to misinterpret certain elements of Chinese culture and sought to develop more refined methods of inter-civilizational analysis. The audience raised many critical and interested questions. Dr Xiangqun Chang (right; CCPN Global and SOAS), chair of the session, offered to convey all the criticisms, comments, questions and feedback to Professor Su and seek his responses and, it is hoped, to publish an ‘absent dialogue’ between a Chinese scholar and the Western Weberians in the conference special issue of the Journal of China in Comparative Perspective in 2014.
The left photo is Professor Martin Albrow who is holding a new edition of the Max Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, translated and introduced by Stephen Kalberg (right), when introducing Professor Kalberg as Keynote speaker from Boston University, USA. Kalberg argues for the continued relevance of Weber’s systemic approach to the comparative analysis of civilizations. He made a critical reappraisal of Weberian theory and its contemporary relevance, which can be seen from his book Max Weber’s Comparative-Historical Sociology (2012). Many interesting questions were raised by the audience.
The last Keynote speaker was Professor Gary Hamilton (left below), University of Washington, USA. Professor Wolfgang Schluchter (right) chaired this session. He acknowledged two things that he learned from Hamilton on studies of Weber. One is that Hamilton’s work on family based capitalism in Asia reveals to him that Weber’s insistence that capitalism requires a separation between firms and families was not accurate for Asia. Another is that he agreed that Weber made a mistake equating patria potestas and xiao (孝) in his comparison of traditional Chinese and Roman societies. When Schluchter mentioned this he shown the newly published From the Soil —– the foundation of Chinese society (Xiangtu Zhongguo), Chinese-English edition, by Fei Xiaotong and translated by Gary Hamilton and Zheng Wang (second right in next set of photos). The editor of the Chinese-English edition of From the Soil is the same person who organised a dialogue between Gary Hamilton and Xiangqun Chang on Fei’s contributions to world anthropology and global sociology for commemorating the centenary of Professor Fei Xiaotong’s birth in 2010. The abridged version is published in Anthropology Today, No.6, 2011 (the first and second photos on the left). The completed version will be available in print in Journal of China in Comparative Perspective (JCCP), 1(2), 2011.
In his presentation Hamilton showed pictures of a single and multiple ripples in a pond to demonstrate chaxugeju as ‘the differential mode of association’ and ‘everyone is the centre of their own circle of relationships’. In his earlier paper he put his corrections on Weber’s view between xiao and patria potestas by using Fei Xiaotong’ concepts chaxugeju (差序格局) and tuantugeju (团 体格局) into a larger framework which is published in the first ever issue (1(1), 2011, JCCP, right).

All the major articles in this issue of JCCP are related to Fei’s From the Soil. It was published in Chinese in 1947 and the English version became available in 1992, but it is still relevant today because many important late generations of Chinese scholars’ work has been built on it. Even Hamilton, translator of the book, had overlooked and did not fully appreciate some major points made by Fei Xiaotong in this book (Chang, 2011，1(1):32, JCCP). A more substantial work on chaxugeju by Stephan Feuchtwang is entitled ‘Social egoism and individualism: Surprises and questions from a Western anthropologist of China – Reading Professor Fei Xiaotong’s contrast between China and the West’. It was written 15 years after the English version From the Soil was published which will be available in the 1(2), 2011, JCCP. (Note: the website and email address on the back cover are no longer operating from March and July 2013 respectively. The current email is: journal@ccpn-global.org; website: www.journal.ccpn-global.org).
After the conference, Hamilton said that ‘the conference made me aware about how much remains to be done to build a framework for the comparative study of China’.
Plenary sessions
There were three joint plenary sessions. Dr Athena Leoussi, Co-Director of European Studies, University of Reading, UK, chaired the first joint plenary session. Athar Hussain, Professor and Director of the Asia Research Centre, at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK, showed how examination selection in Chinese schools favoured the well-established who could afford to give their children extra coaching for a marking scheme that ranked students; this worked against the children of the poor and the internal migrant. Professor Sam Whimster, Editor of Max Weber Studies, gave a presentation of Weberian social-economics arguing that Weber’s typology had to be unpacked and applied to case studies. Weber did this for Russia in 1906, we have to do this for China today. He suggested that Weber’s key concepts, such as economic power, the legal power of disposition, appropriation, the forms of the division of labour, the forms of organization, the nation and its state, and societalization, can be used to analyse Chinese economic development over the last decades in its own terms, and not judged against a normative model of what proper capitalism should be.
The second joint plenary session was chaired by Dr Peter Flügel (middle), Reader in the Study of Religions at the Department of the Study of Religions, SOAS, UK. Bryna Goodman (right), Professor of History and Director of Asian Studies, University of Oregon, USA, gave a talk entitled ‘Not a Club for Ethical Culture’: Politics, Law and Capitalism in Early Chinese Stock Exchanges Selection’. Using the 1921 Shanghai stock exchange bubble as a case study she ‘examines a public controversy over these issues in the form of a public debate between individual businessmen and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce over issues of economic development, freedom, and national sovereignty’. This mirrored the issues raised by Weber’s own defence of the stock exchanges in the Kaiserreich in the 1890s. Afterwards, Karen Turner (left), Professor of History and Research Scholar, College of the Holy Cross at the Harvard Law School, EALS, USA, talked about ‘Religion in the service of the state: A Reassessment of Weber’s view of the Chinese tradition’. She ‘analyzed how excavated texts and revisionist views of transmitted texts reveal that a high level of formal rationality shaped the Chinese bureaucracy in the formative era of the imperial state’, and demonstrated that the Chinese, much earlier than in the West, developed an efficient blueprint, sanctioned by sacred texts, for managing the economy to serve the state’. In her remarks she observed that Confucian officials were mostly self-serving and not prepared to make sacrifices for fundamental change.
The third joint plenary session was chaired by Dr Carlos Frade (left), Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Salford and Chair of the Weber Studies Group, British Sociological Association (BSA), UK. This session combined two co-presenters each. Judith Farquhar (right), Max Palevsky Professor of Anthropology, Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago, USA, presented a joint paper with Dr Lili Lai (middle), Senior Lecturer, Medical Humanities Institute, Health Sciences Centre, Peking University, China, entitled ‘National Medicines in China: Institutional Rationality and Healing Charisma’. From their empirical studies they found that ‘being social, no regime can ever be purely “rational”’ because ‘rational systems of medical information cannot, in the end, be external to medical art or “healing charisma”’. They sought to show that the rational and the non-rational have a co-constitutive relationship, not just in theory, but in historical practice in China’. This paper prompted many questions. Wolfgang Schluchter suggested that ‘charisma’ was a political concept that presupposed a personal relationship of leader and follower. Against this the speakers referred to the magical- charismatic practices as described by Stephan Feuchtwang and Mingming Wang (Grassroots charisma: four local leaders in China, 2001). Both cases are examples of how Weber’s ‘Charisma’ can be used in either a real term or in ‘imaginative way’ by empirical studies in China. It seems there are two views on charisma. This illustrated a tendency in the conference for papers that sought a strict application to the Chinese context, and those that favoured a more imaginative use of Weberian concepts when faced with that same context?
The last joint plenary session was presented jointly by Professor Martin Albrow (right) and Dr Xiaoying Zhang (left), Associate Professor and Head of Journalism Department, Vice Dean of School of English and International Studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University, China. The title is ‘World beyond worlds: Max Weber, China and the ‘impartial spectator’. This presentation was a kind of dialogue: Albrow explained how the ideas of ‘world’ have a central place in Max Weber’s comparative studies of religion. Zhang introduced the Chinese view of the world (Shijie 世界and Tianxia天 下). Other thinkers like John Dewey and Bertrand Russell who had both lived and taught in China and thus also appreciated a different world from the West. They provided ‘a shared account of a different world as a better alternative to discarding the idea of the world altogether’. As the author of the Global Age, Albrow turned his attention to ‘world’ as can be seen from the book series ‘Chinese Thoughts for a New World Order — A Series of Works in English by Chinese Scholars in Humanities and Social Sciences in comparative perspective’ that he proposed and that was funded by the Social Sciences Academic Press (SSAP), China. One of the books that was mentioned by Zhang in her talk is ‘Global System’ by Tingyang Zhao’ which provides a Chinese perspective on the world-system.
Streams
The conference received nearly 50 paper submissions including joint authors (as can be seen from the book of abstracts). Apart from the plenary speeches and absent paper givers the rest of the 30 papers were divided into 10 streams. They are: Re-Reading Weber, On Rationalization in Weber, Confucianism and the Work Ethic, Law in China, Chinese Law in Comparative Perspective, Modernity and the Rise of China, Revisiting Weber on the Modern Chinese Economy, The Chinese State and Market Socialism, Chinese Enterprise, and Chinese Investment. The above photos are randomly selected streams. The top photo shows Dr Kent Deng, Reader in Economic History, LSE, UK, who was chairing one of the streams.
The above photos are a small selection of various panellists presenting their papers in different streams. One interesting presentation was given by Professor Hong Qian, Director of the Institution for Global Symbiosis, China, entitled ‘Weber’s Capitalist Spirit and the Symbiosis Values’. Qian made a comparison between Karl Marx and Max Weber and believes the former used ‘the critical weapon’ and ‘weapons of criticism’ to examine capitalism; whereas the latter, Weber, discussed the internal relationship between the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism. He then made a simple comparison between capitalist and socialist societies. He pointed out that ‘capitalism encountered the limits of its self-development, antagonism and being treated negatively. As a result, when dealing with the relations between human beings and nature, humans and humans, and humans and themselves, the protestant ethic and Weber’s capitalism spirit encountered a great predicament,’ whereas socialism in China appeared as ‘state capitalism’. He concluded that ‘either socializing capitalism or capitalizing socialism’ won’t work. Based on his research and experience, the integration of ancient oriental wisdom and contemporary biological symbiogenesis findings, Qian proposed a Chinese philosophical idea of ‘symbiotic values’ in the context of global ecology. It can be simply expressed as ‘live and let live’. This idea has been acknowledged by the new generation of leaders in China. He suggested that it can be used as a principle to deal with the three major relationships in the world: man and nature, man and man, man and himself. In order to implement the ‘symbiotic values’ Qian proposed ‘A DECALOGUE by SYMBIOSIS’ with 333 Chinese characters. The photo at the bottom shows Qian presenting this as a gift to the stream chair Professor Martin Albrow after his presentation.
Q &A sessions
After each speech or presentation at either plenary or stream there are always Q & A sessions. They are equally important. The many photos show enthusiastic audience participants in the conference throughout. It was their efforts together with the speakers who made the conference so intellectually stimulating.
Closing session
The closing session started with a plenary panel entitled ‘The Future of Capitalism’. It was organised and chaired by Professor Sam Whimster from the Global Policy Institute. Scott Lash, Professor of Sociology and Director of Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, London, presented arguments from his new book China Constructing Capitalism: Economic Life and Urban Change, of which he is co-author. China is either regarded as falling short of western business standards, e.g. property and contract law, or is seen as hell-bent on its own version of neo-liberalism. Instead Lash argued that while neo-liberal economic life is individualized and disembedded the China model is relational and situated. Also, its vast urban change has to be seen as a new form of ‘local state capitalism’. Weber’s instrumental rationality has to be reconceptualiszed as a new type of substantive rationality, an argument extending to ethics. The question to the panel then became whether China represents a divergent model of capitalism. Stephen Chan (OBE), Professor of International Relations at SOAS and editor of The Morality of China in Africa: The Middle Kingdom and the Dark Continent, said that China placed great store on essential features of the global order: the Westphalian notion of the sovereignty of the state, and its membership of the WTO. On matters of trade with Africa, Chinese officials applied an extremely hard-headed cost-benefit analysis of their objectives. Ann Lee, adjunct professor of economics and finance at NYU and author of What the U.S. Can Learn from China took a more convergent view, noting that China in its vigorous new initiatives did not suffer from the dysfunctionality of the current US. Martin Jacques, author of the controversial best-seller When China Rules the World: the End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order, argued that on present trends China will soon become the dominant global power; for example, just how long do we expect the international ascendancy of the US dollar to last? It then becomes fanciful to suppose that China will abide by a model and rules established in the West. The recent financial crisis, still unresolved, shows both the weakness of the West and the need for new departures, and indeed as Martin Albrow noted: are we not entering a universalised information age? The extensive and lively Q&A session recalled Max Weber’s own stipulations on the rationality structures required for a successful modernity and that the dynamic of capitalism is marked by inherent tensions and dangers.
Finally, there was a small session for Closing Remarks. It was chaired by Mr Ernest Caldwell (left), Lecturer in Chinese Law, SOAS. Professor Stephen Chan (middle) represented SOAS to thank everybody whose participation in different ways made a great success of the conference. It reminded him of the first time when he read Max Weber in 1973 and how much more understanding he gained and how helpful it has been with his research over the past four decades. Dr Xiangqun Chang (right), Co-Director of CCPN Global and Research Associate of Centre for Chinese Studies, SOAS, University of London, UK, made a long list of thanks to all the people who helped the conference directly, indirectly, physically, spiritually, intellectually, financially, and so on. Xiangqun quoted a Chinese saying ‘when we drink water from the well, we shall never forget the person who digs the well’ (吃水不忘挖井人). Thanks went to: Professor Stephan Feuchtwang, founding Director of the China in Comparative Perspective Network (CCPN) and Editor-in-chief of JCCP when they were both at LSE. Both CCPN Global’s and JCCP’s involvement in the Weber and China conference have benefitted greatly from Stephan’s input; Professor Elisabeth Croll, for her arranging Xiangqn Chang to be a Research Associate at SOAS’s Centre of Chinese Studies in 2006, without that link we would not have been able to hold the conference at SOAS; Professor Martin Albrow, for proposing to co-host the Weber and China conference when he acted as the Principal Research Associate of CCPN at LSE (2011-13) and led the conference’s Programme Committee which organised the conference successfully; SOAS’s colleagues: Dr Tian Yuan Tan, the current Director of the Centre for Chinese Studies, Professor Michel Hockx, the Founding Director of the new SOAS China Institute, Professor Julia Strauss, Dr Hong Bo, Mr Ernest Caldwell, Professor Paul Webley, Professor Stephen Chan, Dr Andrea Janku, Dr Peter Flügel, Dr Carol Tan, and Ms Jane Savory, the Manger of SOAS’s Centres and Programme Office, for their support in different ways throughout the conference. Other Conference Programme Committee (apart from the above mentioned): Professor John Breuilly and Dr Kent Deng of LSE who were a part of the inception of the conference, Professor Sam Whimster, Editor of Max Weber Studies, Dr Carlos Frade, Chair of Weber Study Group, BSA, Dr Athena Leoussi, Co-Director of European Studies Programme of University of Reading, for their intellectual input and emotional support; Other organisers and sponsors: Professor Letian Zhang, of Fudan University, the Co-director of CCPN Global, Professor Daming Zhou of Sun Yet-sen University and the Guest Editor of JCCP, and Mr Michael Sheringham, who runs the Arthur Probsthain Bookshop, for their organization and sponsorship of the conference, for their organizational and financial support; and all the volunteers: Mimi Ajibade, Anlan Chen, Wewei Chen, Mieke Houvenaghel, Farwa Sial, Ghayda Nawres from SOAS, and Xiaojing Sun from CCPN Global and Bristol University, for all their help during the conference. Xiangqun then expressed her gratitude with the Chinese phrase that ‘when everybody adds fuel, the flames rise high’ (众人拾柴火焰高) to all the conference participants including keynote speakers, panelists of the closing session, plenary speakers, all the panel speakers and participants for their enthusiasm and energy to make this conference so intellectually productive.
As a Chinese saying puts it, there is no feast under heaven (tianxia) that can last forever (天下没有不散的筵席), which means, of course, that all good things must come to an end. Conferences are indeed intellectual feasts. We hope, after you return home, the visible or invisible images, imaginative thinking or memories of the Weber and China conference and its spirit will stay with you…

金砖国家移民如何参与型塑全球社会？
2013年3月2日，‘金砖国家新移民如何参与型塑全球社会’的国际大会在伦敦政经学院成功地举办。
伦 敦政经学院亚洲研究中心主任Athar Hussain教授宣布会议开幕。英国上议院副主席迈克•贝茨勋爵(Lord Michael Bates)为大会致了一个精彩而有趣的开幕词。中国移民研究专家、厦门大学公共事务学院李明欢教授和与英国移民研究专家、牛津大学移民研究中心副主任 Nicholas Van Hear博士分别作了主题演讲。金砖国家新移民研究项目的八位成员围绕着两个主题发表了论文：“金砖四国移民(migrants)和迁移 (migration)在全球社会的案例研究”及“全球社会中移民与原籍国的关系”。 对于后者，项目负责人、日中社会会学会会长、日本关西学院大学社会学学院陈立行教授在下午会议作了相关题目的开场报告。最后发言的是项目共同负责人、伦敦 经济学院中国比较研究网联席主任常向群博士，她对项目研究做了一个概述，阐明了研究课题和兴趣，介绍了从实地考察和在线问卷调查获得的数据及初步分析。与 会者们积极地参与了答 问环节。闭幕小组由三位教授组成。萨塞克斯大学的移民与全球化专家Ronald Skeldon教授作了闭幕报告，布莱顿大学‘欧盟与印度跨文化创新研究中心’创始主任Professor Karamjit Gill做了评议；最后由伦敦经济学院王斯福教授(Professor Stephan Feuchtwang) 致闭幕词。
背景
伦 敦政治经济学院中国比较研究网 (CCPN) 参与了一个国际合作研究项目，名为“金砖国家新移民在美澳日英的比较研究” (2009-2013年)。该项目与日本关西学院大学社会学学院合作，由日本学术振兴会 (JSPS)资助，项目研究人员来自澳大利亚、巴西、中国、香港、日本、俄罗斯、新加坡、斯里兰卡、英国和美国。我们研究的移民对象为“新移民”，即自 1989年以来迁移到英美澳日的金砖国家的移民。
为了回应从金砖四国(BRIC)到金砖国家(BRICS)的转变，这个庞大而快速增长的经 济体 (巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国和南非) 显着地影响区域和全球事务，我们的研究增加了南非移民在英国的对比研究。金砖国家本身和来自这些国家的移民对塑造未来的全球社会有着非常重要的作用。
我们的研究可以被用来寻找一些方法，以促进来自这五个金砖国家的移民在东道国的经济和社会福祉，并加强他们对东道国的经济和社会的贡献。我们对居住在国外的移民如何协助家乡国家的发展也感兴趣。
除 了标准的社会科学方法外，本项目还采用网上问卷调查 (已于2013年7月31日结束)。该项目的主要特点是把研究领域从“迁移研究”(migration studies)扩展到“移民研究”(migrant studies) ，即对人的关注。它与“迁移研究”中对特殊的群体的关注，如移民的人权或健康等不同，我们的项目侧重于“普通的移民”(ordinary migrant people)的基本状况，因为我们相信广大的“普通人”是任何一个社会的基础

How do Migrants from the BRICS Countries Participate in Shaping the Global Society?
The international conference entitled ‘How do Migrants from the BRICS Countries Participate in Shaping the Global Society?’ was successfully held on the 2nd March 2013 at CLM.2.02 of LSE.
Professor Athar Hussain, Director of Asian Research Centre, LSE, opened the conference. Lord Michael Bates gave an interesting opening address. A China based expert on ‘migrant studies’ Professor Minghuan Li, and an UK based expert on ‘migration studies’, Dr Nicholas Van Hear, made keynote speeches respectively. Eight team members of the project on the BRICS migrant studies presented their papers around two themes: ‘Case studies on the BRICS migrants and migration in the global society’, and ‘The relationship migrated citizens have with their countries of origin in a global society’. Dr Xiangqun Chang gave a very brief overview by clarifying the research topic and interests, disseminating basic data from both fieldwork and online questionnaire survey. The audience actively participated in the ‘question and answer’ panels. The closing panel was formed by three professors. Professor Ronald Skeldon gave a clossing presentation, Professor Karamjit Gill made some general comments and finally Professor Stephan Feuchtwang made closing remarks.
Background
China in Comparative Perspective Network (CCPN) at LSE is engaged in an international collaborative research project known as ‘Comparative Studies on the New Migrants from BRIC counties in America, Australia, Japan and the UK’ (2009-2013). The project is collaborative with the School of Sociology, Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan. It is funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and involves researchers from Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, UK, and USA. Our research focuses on ‘new migrants’ who have migrated from BRIC countries to the UK, the USA, Australia and Japan since 1989.
In responding to the changes from BRIC to BRICS, the large and fast-growing economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), which significantly influence regional and global affairs, we have added migrants from South Affric in the UK in the comparative studies. Both the BRICS countries themselves and the migrants they send out are of great importance in shaping the future of global society.
Our research can be used to identify ways of fostering the economic and social well-being of BRICS migrants in the four countries under study, and enhance their economic and social contributions to their host countries. We are also interested in ways in which migrants residing abroad can assist in the development of their home countries.
Apart from standard social scientific methods this project uses online questionnaire survey (it will be held until the 31st January 2013). You are welcome to participate in the survey and the data can be shared at your request.
Instead of performing ‘migration studies’ this project expands the field into ‘migrant studies’. It focuses on ‘ordinary migrant people’ in contrast to simply paying attention to a special group of people as an example of human rights issues in migration studies. We believe ‘ordinary people’ are the basis of any society.

华人思维方式与一般社会科学方法之比较
2011年，林毅夫的《本体与常无：经济学方法论对话》（亚马逊Kindle版本，见封面中间图）出版。作者是北京大学教授，时任世界银行首席经济学家和高级副行长。这是其中文著作《论经济学方法，与林老师对话》（2005年由北京大学出版社出版）的翻译版本（左侧为原版封面；右侧为2012年出版的第二版封面）。此书的重要的见解，尤其是书名“本体与常无”引起了伦敦政治经济学院（LSE）中国比较研究网（CCPN）的关注，因为该书融入了多种中国传统文化元素，尤其是“本体与常无”这一中国哲学概念。该概念是道家哲学的核心，体现了“无”的思想，代表着一种虚静和无限的状态，反映了东方文化对世界的理解与探索。
中国比较研究网（CCPN）决定邀请林毅夫教授做一次华人思维方式与一般社会科学方法比较的对话。2012年3月6日（星期二），伦敦政治经济学院（LSE）理事会批准了授予林毅夫荣誉博士学位的提议。他将被授予2012年度LSE荣誉学位的科学博士（经济学），该荣誉每年授予一人。此次提名由CCPN主任邓肯博士提出，并得到了经济史系主任珍妮特·亨特Janet Hunter 教授和经济系教授兼中国比较研究网（CCPN）管理委员会主席柯成兴Danny Quah教授的支持。林毅夫教授计划于12月18日在LSE出席颁授典礼。中国比较研究网（CCPN）联席主任常向群博士策划并组织了一场题为“华人思维方式与一般社会科学方法之比较”的研讨会。
林教授要求所有研讨会的参与者从亚马逊购买Kindle版本的书籍，并在研讨会前阅读。这本书是林教授在2003年和2004年于北京大学教授转型经济学课程期间，与研究生进行的对话集，并附有三篇期刊文章作为附录。该书以问答形式呈现，讨论了如何创造性地进行经济研究，并基于现象的深入分析构建自己的理论框架和模型。作者还强调了中国经济学家在研究中采用国际公认规范的重要性，同时聚焦本土问题，并对现有新古典理论在解释发展中国家发展与转型时的局限性进行了批判性反思。
主要特点
- 由中国最知名的经济学家之一撰写
- 采用教授与学生之间简单的问答形式编写
- 讨论如何创造性地进行经济研究，
- 并基于深入的现象分析构建自己的模型 对现有新古典理论在解释发展中国家的发展与转型时的局限性进行批判性反思
目录
- 主流原则与前提
- （不）适用于中国
- 经济学的理论创新
- 附录1. 本土化、规范化与国际化——纪念《经济研究》创刊40周年
- 附录2. 经济研究方法与中国经济学科的发展
- 附录3. 自生能力、经济转型与对新古典经济学的反思
CCPN提出了一些问题供林教授讨论：
- Benti and changwu (本体与常无): 你说’理性是经济学的共同基础前提，核心或本体’，……人都是理性的，到处都是一样的，但决策者有非常不同的约束和机会成本 (15-16%; 9-10页)。 常无是一个不断变化的社会和经济现象的思维定式，即从任何现有的理论约束中解放出来 (20-21%)。 你也说“一个逻辑的和内部一致的理论体系可以在一个基本不变的前提下建立，例如儒家哲学是建立在维持不变的仁的美德之上。符合仁的行为是义，而判断哪些行为是义的及可以达到仁是智(智慧)或礼和信(信任)。环境和条件不同，因此实现仁的方式可能有所不同 (29-30%; 37-38页)。问题：本体和常无这对中文词汇是否只是给了经济学一个方法论或它们也可以被伸展到其他社会科学方法论？例如中国有句话“以不变应万变” (保持不变以应对所有变化 – 通过坚持一个固定的原则或政策来应对一个不断变化的情况)。这里不变的是本体，那么是不是所有的变化都是常无？
- 中国比较研究: 在回答 ‘为什么强调方法论 (13-14% Kindle; 5-6页 中文版)’的问题中, 你比较中国与‘亚洲四小虎’的快速发展, 提到‘后发优势’及前苏联及东欧的无秩序过渡的‘震荡治疗’: 你用中国作为一个比较对象与其它国家和地区比较的方法与我们用的‘中国比较研究’相似。 你可不可以用两个例子去显示你的工作中有那些理论直接得益于应用这个方法?
- 严格的或超越逻辑证明: 一方面，你同意“数学是为了使经济理论更严格”而这是很重要的; 另一方面，你说“有时要为严谨牺牲相关性”。当你讨论经济方法论的时候你提到中国古典文学，语言，诗歌形式，烹饪，绘画，艺术，及能够从数以千计的可能因素中发现最重要的变数的本能等 (17-19%; 8,13-14页)。 问题: 这与中国学者的风格很相似, 像费孝通。费孝通的《乡土中国》的译者韩格理 Gary Hamilton用这本书作为一个例子去显示“费孝通是他研究那些超出了逻辑证明的一个同情的理解” (2011), 虽然严格来说这本书并不像一本社会科学研究的著作。你觉得中国社会科学家的这种写作风格是中国社会科学方法论的一个特点吗？
- 当地人研究他们自己的社会的优点或缺点: 一方面，你说“大多数人将理论看作真理和认为当一个理论适用于一个地方, 它必定是普遍适用的’, 当一种理论适合所有, 强调理论的创新性和实用性的时候 (20%; 18页)。另一方面，你说“21世纪是一个中国经济学家的世纪”, 因为从18世纪工业革命到第一次世界大战, 世界上最大和最强的经济体是英国。英国经济学家享有一个有利的位置去观察和研究在那里发生了什么。英国是世界经济研究中心及大多数世界级的经济学家在那里出现, 像一句中国说话 ‘近水楼台先得月’ (60-62%; 90-91页)。问题: 这与费孝通强调本地人研究本地社会的好处的方法论相似。但是, Edmund Leach (1982) 批评一些中国学者的工作, 包括费孝通在开弦弓的工作, 因为他们对他们的本地文化太了解及在他们的工作中不正当地利用了它们; Leach还批评了简单地基于一个本地的研究而推广到全中国及一个很长的中国历史的企图。什么是当地人研究当地社会的优势？
- 多重现象的结合: 你总结你的方法为“一个分析和三个归纳”。三个归纳包括一个横向的方法, e.g. 与一些采用计划经济的社会主义国家, 及与并非社会主义国家的印度和很多拉丁美洲国家作比较; 及一个垂直的方法, e.g. 从一个历史的纵向的角度来看, 计划经济是在1929年在前苏联推出的; 第三个归纳方法是‘综合多种现象’, 经济学家在既定的时间和地点对很多现象进行一个综合分析, 并期待他们背后有一个共同的原因, 而不是逐一分析它们 (35-36%; 45-47页). 问题: 这像很多中国学者, 如《黄河边的中国》的作者 曹景清 (2000); 常向群 (关系或礼尚往来? — 在一个中国乡村的互惠, 社会支持网络和社会创造性, 2010) 在她的田野调查中发现通常有多个标准适用于判断任何一个关系, 使满足它们的全部或尽可能多, 一个同时被社会赋予价值和那些行使它的人享受的挑战性任务。你认为你的‘三个归纳’, 特别是第三个, 是中国的思维方法吗?
- 学问之道: 这是书的英文版其中一个被遗漏的附件。你解释‘道’是做好人(个人行为), 做好事及专注做学问的目标, 标准和方法。根据道, 学者应该有广博的知识及深入和小心地思考。大师应该从他们的心底关心人和社会, 将社会的兴衰当作自己使命, 有历史和全球视野, 高尚精神等 (129-145页)。 问题: 从古代中国开始这已经是一个非常流行的思想。为什么你在英文版中遗漏了这个思想? 这个中国的思想和做研究方法怎样影响它们的结果?
由中国比较研究网（CCPN）联席主任常向群博士组织的研讨会于2012年12月18日上午8:30至10:00在人类学系的塞利格曼图书馆顺利举行。研讨会由CCPN创始主任王斯福Stephan Feuchtwang 教授主持。主讲人概述了他在经济和发展研究领域的理论贡献，这些贡献源于他对中国的广泛研究，并在方法论上受到华人思维方式的丰富启发，这在其创新的教学方法中有所体现，详见《本体与常无：经济学方法论对话》（2012）。此书是原版中文著作（《与林老师对话：论经济学方法论》，2005）的英文版。在概述之后，主讲人与LSE的学者和学生展开了一场富有见地的对话。研讨会作为一次思想探索，展示了华人思维方式如何从经济学扩展到其他社会科学学科，强调了这种方法的跨学科相关性。此次活动吸引了多位知名学者参与，包括中国比较研究网（CCPN）高级研究员、英国社会学协会前会长马丁·阿尔布劳 Martin Albrow 教授，以及英国全球政策研究所副主任兼英国未来项目负责人、《马克斯·韦伯研究》期刊主编萨姆·惠姆斯特Sam Whimster 教授。

Chinese way of thinking and general social scientific methodologies in comparison
In 2011, Benti and Changwu: Dialogues on Methodology in Economics (Amazon Kindle version, see the middle image of the covers) by Justin Yifu Lin was published. The author is a Professor at Peking University and then Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at the World Bank. The English version is a translation of his Chinese book On Economic Method, Dialogue with Professor Lin, published by Peking University Press in 2005 (see the cover on the left; the cover on the right is the second edition, published in 2012). This book offered significant insights, and the main title, Benti & Changwu, attracted the attention of the China in Comparative Perspective Network (CCPN) at LSE. The book incorporates multiple elements of traditional Chinese culture, particularly the Chinese philosophical concept of ‘Ontology and Wu.’ This concept, central to Daoist philosophy, embodies the notion of ‘wu’ (non-being), representing a state of tranquility and infinity, and reflects the Eastern cultural approach to understanding and exploring the world.
CCPN decided to engage Professor Justin Lin in a dialogue titled ‘A Comparison between Chinese Ways of Thinking and General Social Science Methodology.’ On Tuesday, 6 March 2012, the LSE Council approved the recommendation to award Justin Yifu Lin an Honorary Doctorate of the School. He was to be awarded the Doctor of Science (Economics) as LSE’s honorary degree for 2012 (one awarded per year). The nomination was made by Dr. Kent Deng, CCPN Director, with the support of Professor Janet Hunter, Head of the Department of Economic History, and Professor Danny Quah, of the Department of Economics and Chair of the CCPN Management Committee. Professor Justin Yifu Lin was scheduled to attend the presentation ceremony at LSE on 18 December. Dr. Xiangqun Chang, Co-Director of CCPN, planned and organized a seminar titled ‘Chinese Ways of Thinking and General Social Science Methodologies in Comparison.’
Professor Lin requested that all seminar participants purchase a copy of the Kindle version from Amazon and read it before the seminar. This book is a collection of Professor Lin’s dialogues with his postgraduate students during a course on transition economics conducted in 2003 and 2004 at Peking University and includes three journal articles as appendices. Presented in a question-and-answer format, the book discusses how to conduct economic research creatively and construct one’s own theoretical framework and model based on in-depth analysis of phenomena. The author also emphasizes the importance of Chinese economists adopting internationally accepted norms in their research while focusing on indigenous problems, and he critically reflects on the limitations of existing neoclassical theories in interpreting the development and transition of developing countries.
Key Features

Table of Contents
- Mainstream Principles and Premises
- (In)applicability to China
- Theoretical Innovations in Economics
- Appendix 1. Indigenization, Normalization, and internationalization: Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Economic Research
- Appendix 2. Economic Research Methodology and the Development of Economics in China
- Appendix 3. Viability, Economic Transition, and Reflections on Neoclassical Economics
- Benti and changwu (title of the book): you said ‘rationality is the common foundational premise, the core, or benti (本体) of economics’,… people are rational, everywhere is the same, but decision-makers have very different constraint and opportunity costs (15-16%; p9-10). Changwu is a mind-set of ever-changing social and economic phenomena, namely, to be freed from the constraints of any existing theories’ (20-21%). You also said ‘a logical and internally consistent theoretical system can be built when there is a fundamental unchangeable premise, e.g., Confucian philosophy is built on the virtue of ren (benevolence) which remains unchanged. The behaviour conforming to ren is yi (righteousness), and the ability to judge what behaviour is righteous and can achieve ren is zhi (wisdom), [or li (propriety), xi (trust)]. Circumstances and conditions are different so ways to achieve ren may vary (29-30%; p37-38). Question: Does the pair of Chinese terms benti and changwu just give a methodology for economics or can they be extended to other social scientific methodology? E.g., there is a Chinese saying ‘Yi bubian ying wan bian’ (meeting all changes by remaining unchanged – coping with a constantly changing situation by sticking to a fixed principle or policy). Here unchanged is benti, so are all the changes changwu?
- China in comparative perspective: In answering the question ‘why emphasize methodology (13-14% Kindle; p5-6 Chinese version)’ you compare China with the fast development of ‘four Asian tigers’ when mentioning the ‘advantage of backwardness (后发优势)’, and the ‘shock therapy’ of the chaotic transition of the former Soviet Union and East Europe. Question: The way in which you use China as a comparator to compare with other countries and regions is similar to ‘China in comparative perspective’ that we use. Can you use two examples to demonstrate which theory or theories from your work benefit directly in applying this method?
- Rigorous or beyond logical proof: On the one hand you agreed ‘mathematics was intended to make economic theories more rigorous’ which is important; on the other hand you said ‘sometimes relevance is sacrificed for rigor’. When you discussed economic methodology you mentioned Chinese classical literature, language, poetic forms (shi or ci诗or词), cooking, painting, the arts, and the instinct of being able to discover the most important variables from thousands of possible factors, etc. (17-19%; p8,13-14). Question: This is very similar to a Chinese scholar’s style, e.g. Fei Xiaotong. Gary Hamilton, translator of Fei’s From the Soil (《乡土中国》), uses this book as an example showing ‘what Fei had was a sympathetic understanding of those he studied which went beyond logical proof’ (2011), although strictly speaking this book looks unlike a production of social scientific research. Do you think this writing style by Chinese social scientists is a characteristic of Chinese social scientific methodology?
- Advantage or disadvantage of natives studying their own native societies: On the one hand, you said ‘most people view a theory as the truth and believe that once a theory works in one place, it must be applicable universally’, as one theory fits all, when stressing theoretical innovation and usefulness (20%; p18). On the other hand, you said ‘the 21st century is a century for economists in China’, because from the industrial Revolution in the 18th century to World War I, the largest and strongest economy in the world was the UK. Economists in the UK enjoyed a favourable position to observe and study what happened there. The UK was the world centre for economic research and most world-class economists emerged there, as in a Chinese saying, ‘A waterfront pavilion gets the moonlight first’ (60-62%; p90-91). Question: This is similar to Fei’s Xiaotong’s methodology when he stressed the ‘advantage of natives studying of native societies’. However, Edmund Leach (1982) was critical of some Chinese scholars’ work including Fei Xiaotong’s work in Kaixiangong, as they knew their native culture too well and illegitimately took advantage of it in their work; Leach also criticized the attempt to generalise to the whole of China, and to a long Chinese history, based simply on one local study. What is the advantage of natives studying native societies?
- Synthesis of multiple phenomena: You summarised your methods as ‘one analysis and three inductions’. The three inductions include a horizontal approach, e.g. comparison with some socialist countries which adopted the planned economic system, with Indian and many Latin American countries, which are not socialist countries; and a vertical approach, e.g. from a historical longitudinal perspective, the planned economy was initiated in 1929 in former Soviet Union; the third method of induction is the ‘synthesis of multiple phenomena, in which economists conduct a comprehensive analysis of many phenomena at a given time and place and expect a common cause behind them rather than analysing them one by one’ (35-36%; p45-47). Question: This is similar to many Chinese scholars, e.g. Jingqing Cao (2000), author of Along with the Yellow River (《黄河边的中国》); Xiangqun Chang (Guanxi or Li shang wanglai ? — Reciprocity, Social Support Networks, & Social Creativity in a Chinese Village, 2010), found in her fieldwork that there are usually multiple criteria for judgment appropriate to any one relationship, which makes satisfying all of them, or as many as possible, a challenging task both valued by society and enjoyed by those who exercise it. Do you think your ‘three inductions’, in particular the third one, is the Chinese way of thinking?
- ‘Royal road to study’ (学问之道): this is one of the Appendices that was omitted in the English version of the book. You explained the ‘royal road’ (dao) is the goal, and the standard and method of being a good person (做人self-conduct), doing good things (做事) and indulging in profound scholarship (做学问). According to the dao scholars should have extensive knowledge and think both deeply and carefully. The great masters should from the bottom of their hearts take care of human beings and society; treat the world’s rise and fall as one’s own mission; have historical and global views, Noble spirit, etc. (p129-145). Question: this has been a very popular idea for Chinese scholars since ancient China. Why did you omit this one from the English version? How does THIS Chinese way of thinking and in doing research affect the outcome of their results?
The seminar was held at the Seligman Library, Department of Anthropology, from 8:30 to 10:00 am on 18th December 2012. It was organized by Dr. Xiangqun Chang, Co-Director of CCPN. The seminar was chaired by Professor Stephan Feuchtwang, the Founding Director of CCPN.
The speaker provided an overview of his theoretical contributions to economic and development studies, drawing from his extensive research on China. These contributions are methodologically enriched by the Chinese way of thinking, as demonstrated in his innovative teaching approach, detailed in Benti and Changwu: Dialogues on Methodology in Economics (2012). This work is the English edition of the original Chinese publication (《与林老师对话：论经济学方法论》, 2005). Following this outline, the speaker engaged in an insightful dialogue with LSE academics and students. The seminar served as an intellectual exploration of how the Chinese way of thinking can extend from economics to other social scientific disciplines, highlighting the cross-disciplinary relevance of this approach.
The event saw the participation of distinguished academics, including Professor Martin Albrow, Senior Research Associate of CCPN at LSE and former President of the British Sociological Association, and Professor Sam Whimster, Deputy Director and Head of the UK Future Programme at the Global Policy Institute (UK) and Editor of the journal of Max Weber Studies.

Dr Justin Yifu Lin’s biography
Dr Justin Yifu Lin is Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at the World Bank.
He is the Bank’s first ever chief economist from a developing country. Previously, Dr Lin had served as Founding Director of the China Center for Economic Research at Peking University, Professor of Economics at Peking University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Dr Lin’s intellectual contributions rest in two distinct areas. The first of these is the mechanics of China’s economic development, Dr Lin has shown how non-competitive industrial structures in China have interacted with technological capacity-building in China’s enterprises. He has shown how this interaction has worked to facilitate China’s rapid rate of growth and technological advancement, and helps explain the success of China’s brand of industrial policy.
The second area of Professor Lin’s contribution is the role of China in the global economy. This steps outside of conventional economics but instead is an area of economic research that engages with the fields of international relations and international political economy. Dr Lin, both in his current position at one of the centers of global policy-making and in his guise as economic scholar, has contributed critical thinking in this area. Dr Lin has provided rigorous analysis of the different dimensions where the on-going rise of China’s economy will continue to shift the global economy, and clarified where dangers but also opportunities continue to emerge.
Justin Lin is the author of a number of books, including: Outlines and Highlights for Economic Development and Transition: Thought, Strategy and Viability (2008); Demystifying the Chinese Economy (2011) and New Structural Economics: A Framework for Rethinking Development and Policy (2012). Dr Lin’s books and articles, many of them in top journals, find a place on reading lists for the growing number of courses on modern Chinese economic development. He gave the prestigious Marshall Lectures for the Economics Faculty at Cambridge in 2007/8, entitled Development Strategy, Institutions and Economic Performance in Less Developed Countries, demonstrating that his expertise extended far beyond China alone
