| 摘 要： | 吴以义的《海客述奇》,通过清末几位出洋人士在维多利亚英国的见闻,对19世纪后半叶东、西方两个性质不同的大帝国,及其承传的文化之间的碰撞进行了考察;揭示了西方科技昌明的根本,更重要的是在制度和思想层面上,而“两个完全独立的文化在这种无公度的领域里的沟通”是一个极为复杂的历史过程。在充分肯定作者的立意、选材和写作风格的同时,也对书中的个别观点提出商榷并指出少量史实方面的舛误。

| Abstract: | Through the experiences of several scholars who visited Victorian Britain,Wu Yiyi's book Hai Ke Shu Qi(The Oversea Tales from Witness) explores cultural clashes in the latter half of the 19~(th) century between two intrinsically different empires,Qing-China of the East and Great Britain of the West;and reveals that the essences of Western superiority in science and technology lie more in institutional and conceptual aspects,and that "communication in such incommensurable fields of two completely independent civilizations" is an extremely complex process in history.While acknowledging the author's cultural perspectives,choice of material and references,as well as his writing style,this review also offers certain critical comments on some viewpoints and points out a few errors concerning the historical data Wu's book. |
