The purpose of this essay is to map out an alternative vantage point from which to study the problematics of the "sinicization" of sociology. Following upon an earlier endeavour, this essay explores further the possibilities opened up via a program of metasociology. The guiding theme is that, in order to construe a meaningful and effective discourse on Chinese sociology, it is imperative that the latter maintain dynamic continuities with the foundational intent and inspiration that has underlined the sociological tradition. Three aspects of such intents and inspiration are discussed in this essay: namely, vocation, humanism, and reflexivity. By way of this metasociological turn, the problematics of sincization can be more concretely translated into the agenda of building a sociological tradition that will span from general sociology to Chinese socio-cultural specificities.
