摘要
在晚明内忧外患之际,晚明"四贤"作为受洗入教的开明士大夫,他们站在时代前列,以道自担,力主科技救世。在科技思想上,主张缘数寻理,以数学为科技之根基;以经世致用为择取科技之标准;以会通中西科技为超越西方的必由之路。在科技实践上,他们积极与传教士合作翻译西方科技著作,建构科技文本;依照西方科技,制器用器,推广科学技术,并建立"仁会"、"兴仁会"等社团组织培养科技人才。晚明"四贤"的科技救世主张,虽然并没有改变明朝灭亡的历史命运,但却推动儒学"格物致知"的诠释转向实证化,引发受洗入教的热潮,推动与传教士的合作,形成丰富的科技著作和器械,在晚明乃至中国科技史上具有重要的里程碑意义。
As the liberal scholars who baptized into Catholic church, the late Ming Dynasty＇s ＂four philosophers＂ stood in the forefront of the times when the late Ming Dynasty fell into the time of distress, they advocated using technology to save society. In the thought of science ＆ technology, they advocated using mathematics to seek reason and the entry to study science ＆ technology; the statecraft as the purpose to seek science ＆ technol- ogy; merging the Chinese and western science ＆ technology as the way to pass western country. In the practicing of science ＆ technology, they coped with missionary to translate scientific works; manufacturing and using machinery by western science ＆ technology; building benevolence organization to train technology professionals. Their thoughts didn＇t change the historical destiny of Ming Dynasty, but promoted Confucianism＇s ＂investigating things to obtain knowledge＂ to steer into the demonstration ,leading a large number of religious scholars to join the church and forming a wealth of scientific works and equipment, having an important milestone in the history of science ＆ technology of China.
