摘要
明清之际,基督教传入我国并带来了大量的西方自然科学知识,清明实学则成为西学东渐的思想土壤。当时的实学思想家,从批判宋明理学“空疏无用”出发,对一切可以经世致用知识都高度重视。他们理性地对待西方的基督教,有效地吸收了传教士介绍来的数学、几何、天文、地理、兵器等方面的知识,并在社会实践中产生了积极的作用。明清之际的实学思想,对我们今天对外开放、吸收外来先进文化仍然具有启迪意义。
With the incoming of Christianity during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, along with a large amount of natural sciences of the west, solid scholarship of the Ming and Qing Dynasties provided the ground of thinking for the eastward development of western learning. Solid scholarship thinkers at the time criticized the vagueness and futility of Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties; at the same time, they attached great importance to all kinds of practical knowledge. They treated Christianity rationally, and effectively absorbed knowledge about mathematics, geometry, astronomy, geography, weaponry etc. brought in by missionaries, which, in turn, brought about beneficial effect in social practice. The solid scholarship thinking of the Ming and Qing Dynasties has still an enlightening effect on our present policy of 'opening up to the outside world and absorbing foreign modem culture'.
