陈光兴《去帝国》一书试图以东亚社会的历史经验为资源,勾连起知识生产与社会现实之间的联系,尝试着重新建构亚洲知识圈独立的主体意识以及与之相应的认识图绘。而本文将遵循《去帝国》的内在理路,通过亚洲研究的认识论和方法论批判来评估陈光兴著作的理论及现实意义。最后,本文还试图将这一视野引回到中国内地的知识谱系之中,探讨青年一代如何在知识生产中建立起独立的思想主体性这一关键问题。 Chen Guangxing’s book “Going to the Empire” tries to link the historical experience of East Asian society as a resource, link the connection between the production of knowledge and social reality, and try to reconstruct the independent subjective consciousness of Asian knowledge circle and its corresponding understanding. This article will follow the inner logic of “Going to the Empire” and assess the theoretical and practical significance of Chen Guangxing’s writings through epistemology and methodological criticism of Asian studies. Finally, this article attempts to bring this perspective back to the pedigree of knowledge in mainland China and discuss the key issue of how the young generation should establish an independent ideological subjectivity in the production of knowledge.
