  • 中國古代科學

    de 李約瑟, Joseph Needham ...
    Series Libro 12 - 錢賓四先生學術文化講座系列
    本書由1979年李約瑟博士主講「錢賓四先生學術文化講座」的講稿輯錄而成。本書共分五章，除探索古代科學技術發展的概況和特點外，亦介紹了道家煉丹術的發展及其與火藥、火器、醫藥等發展的聯繫。此外，作者也試圖依據生物化學來解釋針灸療法，並對比了古代中國與歐洲文明中關於時間與變化概念的看法，從而透視其對彼此科學發展的影響。李約瑟從中西文化比較的角度入手，充分挖掘古代文獻，展現了古代東方技術和思想與西方的差異，及其如何通過阿拉伯世界對西方産生了影響。相較於學術性强的多卷本《中國之科學與文明》而言，這本小册子更適合普通讀者閱讀，同時可激發對於東西方文化差異性的思索。 ... Leer más
