The Chinese Traveller, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century China, providing a unique window into a society that was both ancient and vibrant. The author, a European traveler, delves into the intricacies of Chinese culture, examining the nation's strengths and weaknesses. From the complex art of silk production to the sophisticated techniques employed in the crafting of porcelain, the book reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship and ingenuity of the Chinese people. Beyond the everyday practices, the author explores the intellectual landscape of China, dissecting the nation's approach to science and its lack of interest in more abstract fields. The author suggests that this lack of interest in speculative sciences stems from the Chinese social structure, which rewards proficiency in law and literature over theoretical knowledge. The book also sheds light on the impact of European missionaries on China's intellectual scene. These missionaries, armed with knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, introduced new ideas and challenged the established order, ultimately prompting a transformation in the Chinese understanding of the world. The author's observations provide valuable insights into the historical exchange of knowledge between Europe and Asia and reveal the unique strengths and limitations of China's cultural and scientific development during a pivotal period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
