Pankaj Mishra From the Ruins of Empire*1から。
19世紀末から20世紀初頭の話。
(…) from the perspective of China, where despite its weaknesses a political moral order based on Confucianism had endured, India seemed dangerously out of touch with its own cultural heritage. Indian philosophy and literature - which only Brahmans in possession of Sanskrit could read – had been a closed book to a majority of Indians; it was the European discovery, and translation into English and German, of Indian texts that introduced a new Western-educated generation of Indian intellectuals to their cultural heritage. (pp.219-220)
