摘要：“Why cannot we, once again, return the gaze?” Why cannot we use theories of social organizations articulated by pre-modern, non-European thinkers, to explain universal political and social phenomena? Why, when we approach a historical or sociological question, do we have to fall back on Weber, Marx, et al., and disregard the penetrating insights made by pre-modern authors—Chinese, Muslim, or any other non-European? Can we, ultimately, interpret Western history through a theoretical model developed in the east?
