在明朝末年，義大利耶穌會士利瑪竇參與了東西方交流史上最非凡的一場相遇。 《天主實義》以中國士人與西方學者之間的對話形式寫成，探討人類存在最深刻的問題：宇宙的根源是甚麼？靈魂的本質是甚麼？人死後是否仍有生命？理性能否引領我們認識天主？人又應當如何生活？ 利瑪竇並未輕率否定中國哲學，而是認真回應儒家傳統。他援引中國古典思想，同時介紹基督宗教關於天主、道德責任、自由意志、德行與靈魂不滅的觀念。由此形成了一場深思熟慮、又常令人意外的對話，讓兩個不同的思想世界彼此相遇。 本書於一六〇三年首次在中國出版，後來成為文化與宗教交流史上的重要里程碑。它不僅展現不同文明彼此理解的可能，也揭示了這種相遇中無可避免的張力。 這個經過審慎整理的版本，使利瑪竇這部歷久不衰的著作，更容易為現代讀者所理解，尤其適合對中國歷史、哲學、宗教、基督宗教、儒家思想，以及東西方交流感興趣的讀者。 四百多年後，《天主實義》依然是一份對話的邀請，也提醒我們：對真理的追尋，可以跨越一切文化界限。 AMAZON.COM
