17-18世纪适应政策影响下耶稣会士对易学范畴的宗教解读

Jesuit Missionaries’ Religious Interpretation of the Changes-related Categories under the “Accommodation Strategy” in the 17-18 Century

耶稣会士在《易经》西传方面起到了关键作用,尤其是索隐派对《易经》的宗教性解读,对后来西方易学的发展产生了一定影响。本文将耶稣会士对《易经》的解读置于适应政策的大背景下,以"上帝""太极"和"圣人"为例,阐释耶稣会士们为推行适应政策、扩大在中国的传教事业而进行的《易经》宗教化诠释以及中国儒士的回应。

Jesuit missionaries played a pivotal role in the spread of the Yi jing to the West, and particularly the religious interpretation of the Yi jing by the Figurists certainly influenced later development of Changes scholarship in the West. This paper places their interpretations under the larger background of "Accommodation Strategy", taking their interpretations of "God", Taiji(Supreme Ultimate) and sheng ren(sages) as examples to explicate their religious interpretations of the Yi jing in the interests of carrying out the "Accommodation Strategy" and expand their missionary activities as well as the responses from Chinese Confucians.
