具体描述
In this path-breaking book, Tong Lam examines the emergence of the “culture of fact” in modern China, showing how elites and intellectuals sought to transform the dynastic empire into a nation-state, thereby ensuring its survival. Lam argues that an epistemological break away from traditional modes of understanding the observable world began around the turn of the twentieth century. Tracing the Neo-Confucian school of evidentiary research and the modern departure from it, Lam shows how, through the rise of the social survey, “the fact” became a basic conceptual medium and source of truth. In focusing on China’s social survey movement, A Passion for Facts analyzes how information generated by a range of research practices—census, sociological investigation, and ethnography—was mobilized by competing political factions to imagine, manage, and remake the nation.

福柯用的有点死板
评分重点在第二、三章。对此书的讨论，仅纠缠于方法论似乎意义不大。

评分作者写作水平很高，理论框架的建立和表达都很好，但是研究的确是有硬伤，福柯的理论并不能直接照搬，晚清人口调查的学术起源、学者和政府、社会改革者的关系以及具体学术研究的分析都太过粗浅甚至没有涉及，从导论看到具体的章节的确是让人失望的。
评分非常完整的以年代为线索的总结
