Abstract 講座簡介：
This talk explores the transnational journey of the Dao from early modern China to Enlightenment and Victorian Europe, revealing how encounters between Chinese commentators, Jesuit missionaries, and emerging Sinologists produced a global genealogy of the Dao. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, the Daodejing became a site of intercultural translation where theology, philosophy, and philology intertwined. Drawing on Sophie Ling-chia Wei’s micro-historical framework, this presentation traces three intersecting arcs: the Jesuit Figurists’ reinterpretation of the Dao as divine language, its adaptation by nineteenth-century French and British Sinologists, and its philosophical transformation in German Romantic thought.
