明代至清中叶的“东学西传” ,经历了译介引入阶段、研究化用阶段。“东学”从思想层面、制度层面、物质层面对西方发生过深刻影响 ;对欧洲启蒙运动的兴起起了积极的推动作用 ;为资产阶级革命的舆论准备提供了思想资料。中外学术界对它的研究与阐发均极为匮乏。当前 ,研究“东学西传”史 ,对于增强民族自信心 ,对于人类在新千年的精神文明建设 ,都具有莫大的意义。 From the Ming Dynasty to the mid-Qing Dynasty, “Learning from the East to the West” experienced the stage of introduction and translation and the phase of research and application. The “East Learning” had a profound impact on the West from the ideological level, the system level, and the material level. It played a positive role in promoting the rise of the Enlightenment in Europe and provided ideological data for the preparation of public opinion in the bourgeois revolution. Both Chinese and foreign academic circles have extremely scarcely studied and elucidated it. At present, studying the history of “learning from East to West” has great significance for enhancing national self-confidence and for mankind’s spiritual civilization in the new millennium.
