李约瑟的世界观及其东方情结

Joseph Needham's World View and Oriental Complex

李约瑟的世界观驳杂多元,调和了各种矛盾与对立的思想,是基督教社会主义、马克思主义、存在主义、新道家与儒家思想以及有机论思想的综合体。李约瑟一生不懈地谋求在科学与宗教、生物化学与形态学、宗教与社会主义、东方与西方之间架桥,这正是他在诸多方面取得硕果的根本原因。而酷爱东方文明、强调中国文化对人类进步的杰出贡献是李约瑟世界观的一个重要方面,也是他竭力抨击"西方中心论"的思想渊源。

Joseph Needham's world view is complicatedly composed of extensive contents,integrating various contradictory and opposing thoughts,including Christian Socialism,Marxism,new Taoism,Confucianism and Organicism.He exerted his lifetime untiringly in bridging between science and religion,between bio-chemistry and morphology,between religion and socialism,between the oriental and western world,which accounts for his fruitful accommplishments in all fields.
