对宋应星和《天工开物》的考察和阅读意在将这部作品从后世戴有色眼镜的审视中拯救出来。清代编《授时通考》和《古今图书集成》,将《天工开物》视为实用的治国之术,不仅将原书序言等很多部分舍去,而且人为分为两个部分(类似《考工记》的技术部分,类似《农书》的农业部分)...

The last decades of the Ming dynasty, though plagued by chaos and destruction, saw a significant increase of publications that examined advances in knowledge and technology. Among the numerous guides and reference books that appeared during this period was a series of texts by Song Yingxing (1587–1666?), a minor local official living in southern China. His Tiangong kaiwu, the longest and most prominent of these works, documents the extraction and processing of raw materials and the manufacture of goods essential to everyday life, from yeast and wine to paper and ink to boats, carts, and firearms.
In The Crafting of the 10,000 Things, Dagmar Schäfer probes this fascinating text and the legacy of its author to shed new light on the development of scientific thinking in China, the purpose of technical writing, and its role in and effects on Chinese history. Meticulously unfolding the layers of Song’s personal and cultural life, Schäfer chronicles the factors that motivated Song to transform practical knowledge into written culture. She then examines how Song gained, assessed, and ultimately presented knowledge, and in doing so articulates this era’s approaches to rationality, truth, and belief in the study of nature and culture alike. Finally, Schäfer places Song’s efforts in conjunction with the work of other Chinese philosophers and writers, before, during, and after his time, and argues that these writings demonstrate collectively a uniquely Chinese way of authorizing technology as a legitimate field of scholarly concern and philosophical knowledge.
Offering an overview of a thousand years of scholarship, The Crafting of the 10,000 Things explains the role of technology and crafts in a culture that had an outstandingly successful tradition in this field and was a crucial influence on the technical development of Europe on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.
一本漫长的《天工开物》导读。因后世多把这本书看作科技史的文献并随意拆解,作者便侧重于还原《天工开物》的政治野心:揭示material transformation里的普遍性规律,以一个有内在秩序涵盖万物和人事的“气”,代替被理学强加于人事的道德的“天”;理学所依赖的文献推演也被直观观察,记录、实验取代,这是作者认为宋应星奉行的“知行合一”。然而作者并未对宋书中技术的本体、技术和人的关系做过多哲学上的阐释。看过yuk hui再来想一想......
评分A splendid example of intellectual biography with the greater concern to establish a non-European concept of Chinese science.
评分Amazing book
评分马普所典型的取向,可结项后Dagmar执掌曼彻斯特去了,马普所的中国兴趣也随之不在了,柏林也就去不了了。
