D.E. Mungello is professor of history and director of Asian Studies at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
For too long, the history of contact between China and the West has been portrayed as a one-sided encounter: Europeans were said to have "discovered" China, while Chinese responses to the West went largely unnoticed. In this book, D.E. Mungello dispels the myth that China was a silent partner in the dialogue between Eastern and Western civilizations. Although they did not reciprocate in sending ships, cultural emissaries, or religious missionaries westward, neither did the Chinese passively accept Europe's enthusiastic embrace of their culture, arts, and manufactures. Aspects of Western art, language, science, and religion made significant inroads into Chinese culture, which are only recently coming to the attention of Western historians. And at a time when the West is once again setting its sights on strengthening ties with China, Mungello's work offers crucial historical perspective. It reminds us that the political and economic dominance of the West is actually characteristic of only the past two centuries, prior to which it was China that led the world in terms of economic and political development, and in the sophistication of its high culture and technological achievement. This concise and well-written text will make a wonderful addition to reading lists in East Asian or Chinese History classes, as well as courses on World History.

狄百瑞說“沒有人比孟德衛更有資格去闡釋1500——1800年間中西方相遇這個題目的瞭”。但是,誠如孟德衛在序言中所錶達的“這是寫給曆史係學生和普通讀者的作品”,當我們關注這本小冊子的時候,更容易注意到的是其在方法上其雜糅瞭實證、文本、敘述和闡釋的獨特性,以及對中西...
評分 評分寫下這個題目,我就先對自己鄙視瞭一番,因為這已經違背瞭我一嚮的原則,不對曆史意淫。盡管人麵對曆史的無奈,常常會暗地裏想著,假如曆史不是這樣而是另外那樣發展,那該多好。人隻有對現實不滿瞭,纔會對曆史進行假設或者說意淫。 孟德衛的這本《1500-1800中西方...

圖書標籤: 曆史 海外中國研究 漢學 跨文化 英文原版 耶穌會 清史 傳教
語言很直白,適閤入門的大眾讀物,作為學術研究稍顯欠缺深度
評分從明清開始說起,從讀者的角度來說,比較關注於傳教士怎麼影響近代中國以及東西方是怎麼理解對方的。對於中西文化史來說,是一本很好的入門書。
評分有接受,也有抗拒,而且,非單嚮化。由西嚮東的部分,基本都在講missionary。
評分還行吧
