“An Old Story from China” or “A New Voice from Foreign Lands”: “Cheng” in Lu Xun’s Discourse of Anti-Scientism
Lu Xun (1881–1936) was a leading intellectual of his time, yet he notably remained silent during the 1923 “Science and Life” debate that drew widespread participation among prominent thinkers. However, Lu Xun expressed a clear stance against scientism in a series of essays written in classical Chinese between 1907 and 1908 while staying in Tokyo, despite valuing science for its contributions to human welfare. This talk explores how Lu Xun employed the concept of “cheng” (诚) to develop his early critique of scientism.
