Abstract

The following paper offers a comparative study of Song Neo-Confucian and late Ming Jesuit arguments on the exceptionality of human beings and the role played by non-human others in the process of producing the discursive premises of the anthropological difference. It focuses on the arguments made by Zhu Xi (朱熹, 1130‒1200) and Matteo Ricci (1552‒1610) in favour of a claim that there is something particular about being human. Its historical premise is that the Jesuit missionary activity in China resulted in a peculiar encounter between the scholastic tradition, based on Aristotle’s philosophy, and Confucian teachings. In case of Chinese as well as Western philosophical discourse, the figure of the non-human other has played an important role in establishing the very meaning of being human.

本文将比较宋代理学与明末耶稣会关于人的例外性和非人类他者在产生人类学差异的话语前提过程中所扮演的角色的论述。它的重点是朱熹(朱熹，1130-1200)和利玛窦(利玛窦，1552-1610)所提出的主张，即人类有其特殊之处。它的历史前提是，耶稣会在中国的传教活动导致了以亚里士多德哲学为基础的学术传统与儒家教义之间的特殊相遇。在中国和西方的哲学话语中，非人类他者的形象在确立作为人的意义方面发挥了重要作用。
