康熙的西学观探析

Kang Xi's View On Western Science

康熙的西学观,是在学习、反思和批判地吸收西学的过程中形成的。康熙对待西学的态度是:批判吸收,学以致用,凡不利于巩固统治及不适合中国国情者坚决取缔;其西学观的实质是"节取技能,禁传学术",并大力倡导"西学中源"说。在西学观的指导下,康熙应用西学取得了突出的成就。

Kang Xi's views towards the Western science gradually took shape in the course of his studies, introspection and critical absorbency of the Western science. Kang Xi's attitude towards Western science was to study for the purpose of application of it and absorb it critically and firmly suppress those that were not suitable for his ruling. His concrete tendency was to 'Learn technique while banning the spread of Western ideology'. He advocated the theory of 'the Chinese origin of the Western science'. Kang Xi's achievements directed by the views on Western science were outstanding.
