| Research Abstract |
It is well known that during the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty Chinese Muslims abruptly started to express themselves in the form of books written in Chinese, the most conspicuous of which was Tianfang Xingli authored by Liu Zhi. Its idiosyncrasy consists in the fact that we can find not only elements of Chinese thought and Islamic thought but vestiges of new natural sciences flowing into contemporary China through the efforts of Jesuits, which make it difficult to understand the kernel of the work without cultural contexts history of science should meddle in. Focusing the books III and V of Tianfan Xingli, this research program tried to extract Liu Zhi's original thought world differing from those of Chinese and Islamic thought traditions, which was produced, in all likelihood, on the basis of some new findings concerns the human bodies, and to pick up some kinds of backdrops of his thought world and examine them in some degree.
