From Classics to Dogma: Understanding Morgan's "ancient Society" Originally Titled "bridge between the Cracks
About This Novel
In Chinese anthropology, the name Morgan may have been misunderstood as a Chinese name because of its lofty historical status (of course, this is purely a description). In the process of this cross-cultural misunderstanding, Morgan and many social theories without Chinese characteristics deduced from Morgan's theory had the opportunity to call themselves "indigenous social theories." Therefore, to this day, some scholars still use the understanding they gained from Morgan to classify the understanding others gained from other theories as "foreign accents", deliberately inducing people to forget that Morgan himself was an American. This paradoxical phenomenon reminds people of the need to restore Morgan's Western perspective and comment on this name alongside other Western anthropological thinkers. And only by doing this can we truly re-establish Morgan's banner among Chinese intellectuals.
