Ideological and identity issues in Taiwan’s moral education curriculum
This paper investigates the transformation of ‘identity issues and ideological concepts’ that emerged in the curriculum standards and textbooks for moral education in Taiwan, spanning from the Japanese colonial period through the authoritarian regime era to the present day. The analyzed documents include historical records related to educational policy-making, curriculum standards, and textbooks used during these periods. Across different socio-h…

Education and social selection in ancient China
This paper investigates the transformation in the Zhou dynasty China (1046–256 BC) of the concept of education in relation to the process of social selection, which concerns the distribution both of knowledge and of social ranks. An approach in terms of historical semantics, mainly influenced by Luhmannian sociological theory with some reference to Koselleck, will place the focus on social change and the changing meaning of concepts. The analysed…
Hundun’s Hospitality
At the end Zhuangzi 7, Hundun (the Middle Sea) invites his two neighbours, the North Sea and South Sea, to visit him. They repay his kindness by drilling seven holes (for seeing, hearing, breathing and eating) in his face to make him more ‘human’ but Hundun dies. This essay pursues Daoist, Derridean and Levinasian readings of the parable which foreground issues of non-duality and the absolute priority yet impossibility of unconditional hospitalit…
Ren - li , reciprocity, judgment, and the question of openness to the Other in the Confucian Lunyu
Here the author takes ren-humanity to be, as Confucius says, an underlying, ineffable, potentially universal human quality, and draws a distinction between three different types of moral capacity in the Lunyu: the man of ren’s capacity for li-proper interactions, his capacity for total reciprocity with another, and his capacity to make moral discriminations. The nature of these moral judgments is then discussed in relation to the praxis of enteri…
The reception of foreign educational thought by modern China (1909–1948)
This paper first provides an overview of the topics featured in China’s Educational Journal in the period 1909–1948, in order to sketch briefly the history of that country’s pattern of selection from among various modes of foreign educational thought. It becomes clear that, in each case, China absorbed from outside only those ideas that could fit with its own traditional forms of educational thinking, and that for this reason it tended to oscilla…
The Transformation of the Educational Semantic within a Changing Society
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the process of westernization of Chinese education - of the Chinese educational "system"- was marked by ongoing conflicts between traditional Chinese and modern western culture. This paper looks at the process by which, within the larger context of the "world-society," educational thought was constituted or reconstituted (regenerated) in modern China, thus taking on a more hybrid form. My analysis is gui…
Luhmann and Laozi on Self-Reference and Mutual Arising
Dieser Artikel vergleicht die Operationen der Selbstreferenz, Negation, wechselseitigen Entstehungen und Selbstgenerierung in der zeitgenössischen deutschen Soziologie Niklas Luhmanns und der daoistischen Philosophie Laozis und ihre Anwendungen auf die horizontal-räumlich-logische Ebene sowie die vertikal- weltlich-dynamische Ebene der Analyse. Wir beziehen Luhmanns Vorstellung des selbst-referentiellen Systems und der Verschiedenheit zwischen de…
