YanFu's Translations of Handouts from Oxford and Cambridge with His Subject Image on Chinese Political Reformation

中国近代救亡图存使命下新思想的引入,尤以严复为代表。作为思想家、翻译家的严复,其思想来源不乏其时牛津大学、剑桥大学学人的著述。通过严复的译介和立足于中国国情所作的诠释,牛津、剑桥大学的讲座或课程讲义成为国人思想启蒙的重要读物。严复这种译介式的思想启蒙,涉及近代不同政治谱系有关立宪政治的论点,因此在彰显严复本人寻求政治变革用意的同时,也决定了当时的国人对世界认知的广度与深度。
