Description
Summary:The present article summarizes “German” research on religion and society in China, defined here as research conducted by scholars who have been trained in academic institutions of the German-speaking countries Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, or who have published at least some of their work in German. I focus on research that is related to religion and society in their broadest senses in order to introduce a diverse array of studies that are dedicated to the social, political, and economic aspects of religion in China. Drawing on the methods of sociology, political sciences, and anthropology, recent German scholarship has addressed themes and problems that are not only important for the study of religion in China but also applicable to the comparative study of religion, culture, society, and politics. As a point of departure, I begin with a discussion of Max Weber’s analysis of premodern Chinese religion and Confucian worldviews.
