It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Joseph
Needham's Science and Civilisation in China series. For nearly
fifty years, Needham and his collaborators have revealed the
ideals, concepts and achievements of China's scientific and
technological traditions from the earliest times to about 1800
through this great enterprise. During his long working lifetime,
Needham kept in draft various essays, some written with
collaborators, in which he set out his broad views on the Chinese
social and historical context. These essays, edited by one of his
closest collaborators, Kenneth Robinson, are contained in the
present volume. A reading of this material makes it possible to
reconstruct the assumptions and problematics that underpinned and
drove the Needham project throughout the nearly one half century
during which he was at the helm. The documents gathered here reveal
the intellectual foundations of one of the greatest scholarly
enterprises of the twentieth century.
