The Crafting of the 10,000 Things pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The last decades of the Ming dynasty, though plagued by chaos and destruction, saw a significant increase of publications that examined advances in knowledge and technology. Among the numerous guides and reference books that appeared during this period was a series of texts by Song Yingxing (1587–1666?), a minor local official living in southern China. His Tiangong kaiwu, the longest and most prominent of these works, documents the extraction and processing of raw materials and the manufacture of goods essential to everyday life, from yeast and wine to paper and ink to boats, carts, and firearms.
In The Crafting of the 10,000 Things, Dagmar Schäfer probes this fascinating text and the legacy of its author to shed new light on the development of scientific thinking in China, the purpose of technical writing, and its role in and effects on Chinese history. Meticulously unfolding the layers of Song’s personal and cultural life, Schäfer chronicles the factors that motivated Song to transform practical knowledge into written culture. She then examines how Song gained, assessed, and ultimately presented knowledge, and in doing so articulates this era’s approaches to rationality, truth, and belief in the study of nature and culture alike. Finally, Schäfer places Song’s efforts in conjunction with the work of other Chinese philosophers and writers, before, during, and after his time, and argues that these writings demonstrate collectively a uniquely Chinese way of authorizing technology as a legitimate field of scholarly concern and philosophical knowledge.
Offering an overview of a thousand years of scholarship, The Crafting of the 10,000 Things explains the role of technology and crafts in a culture that had an outstandingly successful tradition in this field and was a crucial influence on the technical development of Europe on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.

評分思想史角度去解讀《天工開物》,作者從族譜資料齣發考察宋應星傢族並未有從事工藝或勞作的人,宋也是從學者立場去組織這些工藝與技術的知識,把這些看成是可以探究瞭解“事”與“物”的切入點,瞭解“天工”的規製為何,以對抗當時道德的不穩定感和權威的思想價值觀。
对宋应星和《天工开物》的考察和阅读意在将这部作品从后世戴有色眼镜的审视中拯救出来。清代编《授时通考》和《古今图书集成》,将《天工开物》视为实用的治国之术,不仅将原书序言等很多部分舍去,而且人为分为两个部分(类似《考工记》的技术部分,类似《农书》的农业部分)...
