Abstract | Liang Qichao’s applied Buddhism played an important role in his political imagination and his social advocacy of building a modern China. Undertaking a case study of his political fiction, this article makes three interconnected arguments. First, the nationalism expressed in Liang’s promotion of political fiction was a type of Romantic nationalism originating from Europe but exercised in the context of the late Qing and early Republican China. Second, Liang’s applied Buddhism was an integral part of Chinese Buddhist secularization, which was not intended to separate religion from the state as in the case of its European counterpart but was directed toward the dissemination of Buddhist values into the broader popular realm of the Chinese society. Third, Liang’s applied Buddhism deserves retroactive recognition as one of the precursors of contemporary socially engaged Buddhism.
梁啟超的應用佛學在他對構建現代中國的政治想像和社會宣導中起到了重要的作用。本文以梁啟超的政治小說為個案提出三個相互關聯的論點。第一,梁啟超在他宣導政治小說的過程中所表達的民族主義是一種源於歐洲的浪漫民族主義,但是在晚清民初的語境下被推動;第二,梁啟超的應用佛學是當時漢傳佛教世俗化的一部分,其目的並不像歐洲政教分離式的世俗化,而是致力於把佛教價值觀普及到中國社會裡;第三,梁啟超的應用佛學應該被追認為當代左翼佛教的前驅之一。 |
