Abstract

Creationism is an important feature of Christianity but seems very foreign to Chinese philosophy. This paper examines an early attempt of introducing a metaphysical account of creationism in Huanyou quan (1628) by the Portuguese Jesuit Francisco Furtado and the Chinese scholar Li Zhizao. It investigates the sources drawn from the works of Thomas Aquinas and reconstructs the choices made by the two authors in their translation. Finally, it suggests that Thomistic creationism bears similarities with Chinese philosophy.

晚明神创论的托马斯式论证:《万物说》第一卷(1628年)

创造主义是基督教的一个重要特征，但对中国哲学来说似乎很陌生。本文考察了葡萄牙耶稣会士弗朗西斯科·富尔塔多和中国学者李之藻在《环游泉》（1628）中引入创造论形而上学解释的早期尝试。它调查了托马斯·阿奎那作品的来源，并重建了两位作者在翻译中的选择。最后指出，托米斯创造论与中国哲学有相似之处。
