有點冗長,但是目前自然科學史領域可以說是一枝獨秀瞭

評分Marcon是曆史圈為數不多真正喜歡critical theory的,在普大還專門教過Horkheimer/Adorno的課。這本書文本紮實,敘述流暢,將知識史、政治史、文化史結閤起來得很精美,不過因為強調secularization總讓人覺得有些teleology的影子(雖說在22/23頁否定瞭teleology)。建議和Josephson Storm那本The Invention of Religion in Japan的一起看。
評分理論豐富,但是結論不太有新意
評分始終覺得他的理論和材料有兩張皮的感覺,不過其人還是很風趣的,現在轉嚮貨幣的社會史研究
Federico Marcon is assistant professor of Japanese history in the Department of History and the Department of East Asian Studies at Princeton University.
Between the early seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth century, the field of natural history in Japan separated itself from the discipline of medicine, produced knowledge that questioned the traditional religious and philosophical understandings of the world, developed into a system (called honzogaku) that rivaled Western science in complexity—and then seemingly disappeared. Or did it? In The Knowledge of Nature and the Nature of Knowledge in Early Modern Japan, Federico Marcon recounts how Japanese scholars developed a sophisticated discipline of natural history analogous to Europe’s but created independently, without direct influence, and argues convincingly that Japanese natural history succumbed to Western science not because of suppression and substitution, as scholars traditionally have contended, but by adaptation and transformation.
The first book-length English-language study devoted to the important field of honzogaku, The Knowledge of Nature and the Nature of Knowledge in Early Modern Japan will be an essential text for historians of Japanese and East Asian science, and a fascinating read for anyone interested in the development of science in the early modern era.
