摘要
英国哲学家弗朗西斯·培根在著述中运用了相当多的中国知识,体现了中英早期文化交流的成果。但他在叙述中国知识时存在有意弱化和回避的倾向,还暗示了中国的落后和野蛮。以培根的认识论哲学衡量,他坚信从书中获得的中国知识需要经检验才能成为可靠的认识对象。他还认为欧洲现代科学知识的源头和正统在古希腊,而其他域外国家的发现无关紧要。另外,培根接触到的中国信息使他形成了中国人排斥外乡人、阻断技术交流的恶劣印象。这正是影响培根中国知识论述态度的主要原因。
British philosopher Francis Bacon incorporated substantial Chinese knowledge into his writings,reflecting the early cultural exchanges between China and Britain.However,he exhibited a tendency to intentionally undermine and avoid Chinese knowledge in his descriptions,hinting at China's backwardness and barbarism.Bacon's epistemological philosophy emphasized the necessity of testing Chinese knowledge obtained from books to establish its reliability.Additionally,he held the belief that the origins and orthodoxy of modern scientific knowledge in Europe were rooted in ancient Greece,while considering discoveries from other extraterrestrial countries,including China,relatively insignificant.Furthermore,Bacon's exposure to Chinese information fostered a negative perception of Chinese people as rejecting outsiders and impeding technological exchanges.These three factors primarily influenced Bacon's attitude towards Chinese knowledge discourse.
