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.

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...

推薦給有八卦心的人~目前看到宗教如何一步步在明朝落地生根。中間閃現八卦, 比如利瑪竇如何巴結權貴人士(畫瞭個地圖把中國擺正中且中文標注etc.),徐光啓考試不順利最終信教等等。

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。
評分隻有一點點地章節講北堂的建造,澳門的St. Paul也是一筆帶過。不過涵蓋內容夠全的。 居然也有中國人被關在聖天使堡裏死掉。
評分還行吧
