公民社会研究的人类学视角——R Madsen教授的《中国的天主教徒》评介

The Study of Civil Society from an Anthropological Perspective: A Commentary on Professor R.Madsen's Chinas Catholics

赵文祠教授的《中国的天主教徒:一个凸显的公民社会中的悲剧与希望》一书,从人类学角度进入到公民社会的深层研究,通过生动浅显的行文,折射出作者深切的道德关怀,但其中一些论点仍值得学界商榷。

Professor Richard Madsen＇s Chinas Catholics. Tragedy and Hope in an Emerging Civil Society, which is written in vivid and clear language showing the author＇s deep moral concern, gives an incisive analysis of a civil society from an anthropological perspective, though some ideas in this book are still open to question.
