This classic text by Fei Xiaotong, China's finest social scientist, was first published in 1947 and is Fei's chief theoretical statement about the distinctive characteristics of Chinese society. Written in Chinese from a Chinese point of view for a Chinese audience, "From the Soil" describes the contrasting organizational principles of Chinese and Western societies, thereby conveying the essential features of both. Fei shows how these unique features reflect and are reflected in the moral and ethical characters of people in these societies. This profound, challenging book is both succinct and accessible. In its first complete English-language edition, it is likely to have a wide impact on Western social theorists. Gary G. Hamilton and Wang Zheng's translation captures Fei's jargonless, straightforward style of writing. Their introduction describes Fei's education and career as a sociologist, the fate of his writings on and off the Mainland, and the sociological significance of his analysis. The translators' epilogue highlights the social reforms for China that Fei drew from his analysis and advocated in a companion text written in the same period.
英文译本依然可读性很强,Gary教授的序跋都很精彩。翻译几乎就是一种再创作,从英文本读出了中文本没有的“精准感”,这有可能是译者选用学术词汇的缘故。Social structure, social transitions,各种power都可以直接和英语文献中的很多研究对话,读中文时却易丢失这敏感。译成英文后,在英语语境中更加容易发现这本书的“中国性”,各种儒家典籍与历史典故的穿插造就了与纯西方学者著作不同的气质。费先生充满洞察力,尽管很多东西没有深入进去,但在很多方面指明了方向:社会结构、权力结构、文化观念、社会转型、关系纽带、法治德治。而这些洞见多是源于中西文化之间的比较,比较的视角非常明显。诚如Gary所言,这本书让西方学者反省到自己的理论也是一种“地方理论”而已。117页讲政治与教育。
评分翻译相当精准,译者的序言把费的学术纳入了历史和政治语境做了考量。
评分论述太精彩太精辟了。Rural society is a stable society. 回国要再读一遍中文版。
评分英文譯本未必能傳達文筆,但對於社會科學生或許更好理解。在中文中所認不出的黑話與背景知識都被英譯本一一標出,序言也極好,極是負責。即使在今日中國更加城市化的社會和高漲的民族主義情緒中,費老的研究依稀能讓我們在今日中國辨別出它過去的模樣。
评分上课用的教材,先自己看了一遍中文版。关于乡土社会中环境、文化、社会结构等元素之间复杂关联的推论合理可信且有趣,但个人更偏好有统计支持的论断。同时因为对文中罗列之现象并未有太多感同身受或耳濡目染,故而对书中的结论持保留态度。
