SUMMARY:Lecture Prof. Mu-Chou Poo (Department of History\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong): Common Elements of an Axial Age? Comparative Perspectives on Ancient China and Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture Prof. Poo re-examines the theory of the Axial Age by first investigating the case of China\, situating the findings in the context of the on-going scholarly discussions on the idea of the Axial Age as proposed by Jaspers and expounded by subsequent generations of scholars. A comparison with the case of ancient Egypt will then follow\, examining burial custom of ancient Egypt and the associated funerary texts. This lecture essentially holds that the concept of the Axial Age\, a philosophical interpretation of certain historical phenomena found in a number of early civilizations\, should not be seen as a “historical rule” or “evolutionary rule” in the development of the history of mankind. The concept might be a useful starting point to engage in the comparative study of civilizations\, but it also has the problem of favoring certain cultural traits in selected civilizations\, and ignoring some other parts and aspects of human history if we wish to see humanity as really a united one.

SUMMARY:Lecture Prof. Hsiung Ping-Chen (The Chinese University of Hong Kong): Chinese Humanities in the Global Era
DESCRIPTION:The Term “Humanities” is often used in reference to disciplinary academic humanities: a modern\, institutional subject. That its development is usually a product (or byproduct) of cultural politics in nation-building can be taken for granted. In the case of China\, however\, the long and complicated civilization evidenced before the modern era—since Neolithic times\, with literary texts that date back thousands of years—presents us with the particular problem of deciding whether “national” is the best and most representative designation for the evolution of Chinese humanities as a disciplinary subject or for the cultural heritage behind it. The developmental phases of Chinese humanities provide us with a good tool for considering the nature of “national” humanities in an era that is increasingly global. The fact that “Chinese” humanistic studies are the product of an ancient civilization has also given them an undeniable regional quality\, which explains why they continue to exhibit characteristics that appear to be more broadly “East Asian.” In crises or opportunities involving Chinese academic and public humanities\, therefore\, the interplay of this national and intrinsically regional character may help scholars to address the complex yet fundamental questions behind the assumption that any humanities can be labeled as national or regional in this global era.
