The Interpretative Sociological Reconstruction of the East Asia Studies in Max Weber's "Confucianism and Taoism"

第一次世界大战后，马克斯·韦伯在大量新近中国和东亚研究的基础上，对他的“儒道”学说进行了全面的修正和扩充。通过对其修改痕迹的考察，我们可以看出其方案的意义，既不是“进化分类”，也不是民族中心主义的“剥夺论”，而是根据儒道两家的紧张关系，对近代西方资本主义不同社会的“另一种发展”的社会条件，特别是生活方式的建构进行历史类型学的分析。

After the World War I, Max Weber revised and enlarged his "Confucianism and Taoism" thoroughly, on the basis of a huge amount of resent studies of China and the East Asia. Through the research of it's revising traces, we can know his project's meaning, which was neither the "evolutionary classification" nor the ethnocentristic "privative theory", but historical typological analyzing the social conditions, especially the construction of a way of life, of "another development" to the different society of modern western capitalism according to the relationship of tensions between Confucianism and Taoism.
