Origins of the Modern Chinese State pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
What is “Chinese” about China’s modern state? This book proposes that the state we see today has developed over the past two centuries largely as a response to internal challenges emerging from the late empire. Well before the Opium War, Chinese confronted such constitutional questions as: How does the scope of political participation affect state power? How is the state to secure a share of society’s wealth? In response to the changing demands of the age, this agenda has been expressed in changing language. Yet, because the underlying pattern remains recognizable, the modernization of the state in response to foreign aggression can be studied in longer perspective.
The author offers three concrete studies to illustrate the constitutional agenda in action: how the early nineteenth-century scholar-activist Wei Yuan confronted the relation between broadened political participation and authoritarian state power; how the reformist proposals of the influential scholar Feng Guifen were received by mainstream bureaucrats during the 1898 reform movement; and how fiscal problems of the late empire formed a backdrop to agricultural collectivization in the 1950s. In each case, the author presents the “modern” constitutional solution as only the most recent answer to old Chinese questions. The book concludes by describing the transformation of the constitutional agenda over the course of the modern period.
Philip A. Kuhn is Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History at Harvard University. His most recent book is Soulstealers: The Chinese Sorcery Scare of 1768, winner of the Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies.

评分The content is great, but Philip Kuhn's writing is really dry......
评分此书的主要贡献,不在于它论证了什么,而在于它提出了值得人们思考和讨论的问题。在中国建立现代国家的核心议程,或许不只三条;但时至今日,孔飞力所提出的三个核心问题,仍然是执政者和研究者需要应对和尚未解决的大问题——无论他们的意识形态和个人背景如何,只要希望让中国富强,就必然要回答这些问题。至于书中的三个案例,与其将它们视为论据,不妨把它们理解为不同中国人回应现代国家根本议程的三种尝试,这些尝试虽然都未获成功,却对于后来者和旁观者不无启发之处。

20世纪前半页,中国挣扎在不同的外部势力压迫,和迥异的内部救亡道路中。之前公共号发过文章《中国为什么这么慢》,我却以为,中国绝对算不上慢的了,算算从清政府预备立宪,光绪三十四年(1908年)《宪法大纲》颁布到中华人民共和国成立1949年,短短41年间,我们经...
评分张耐冬/文 孔飞力的新著《中国现代国家的起源》中文版从问世起就受到广泛关注,与他之前的两部著作——《叫魂——1768年中国妖术大恐慌》与《中华帝制晚期的叛乱及其敌对力量》相近,孔飞力这次的关注点依然是政治史,只不过这次的方向更接近对政治制度的思想史考察。在新著...
