Ori Sela foregrounds the polymath Qian Daxin (17281804), one of the most distinguished scholars of the Qing dynasty, to tell this story. Chinäs Philological Turn traces scholars social networks and the production of knowledge, considering the texts they studied along with their reading practices and the assumptions about knowledge, facts, and truth that came with them. The book considers fundamental issues of eighteenth-century intellectual life: the tension between antiquitys elevated status and the question of what antiquity actually was; the status of scientific knowledge, especially astronomy, mathematics, and calendrical studies; and the relationship between learned debates and cultural anxieties, especially scholars self-characterization and collective identity. Sela brings to light manuscripts, biographies, letters, handwritten notes, epitaphs, and more to highlight the creativity and openness of his subjects. A pioneering book in the cultural history of intellectuals across disciplinary boundaries, Chinäs Philological Turn reconstructs the history of eighteenth-century Chinese learning and its long-lasting consequences.
