Distinguished historian Benjamin A Elman's collective volume on the
history of science in imperial China, brings together over 30 years
of historical literature on the subject. With updates to the
literature and new material including transcripts of podcasts and
translated interview articles, Science in China takes the reader on
a journey starting in the early 17th century with the missionary
efforts of the Jesuits in China, and ending with the Protestant
missions in the 19th century. These two milestone encounters
brought Western sciences to local Chinese scholars with great
success in shaping modern Chinese science. Elman studies the
interaction between Western and Chinese sciences through
philological research and evidence, and treats the two encounters
not as separate events but as a continuum of creative exchange of
scientific knowledge and discourse.
