Religion and Chinese Society: Taoism and Local Religion in Modern China Hardcover - 2004
by John Lagerwey (Editor)
First line
The outstanding British historian of Chinese science, Joseph Needham (1900-1995) in the first volumes of his Science and Civilisation in China published in 1950s suggested that Taoism played a crucial role in the development of science in China: [Confucians'] contribution to science was almost wholly negative.... [The Taoists'] ... speculations about, and insights into, Nature, fully equalled pre-Aristotelian Greek thought, and lie at the basis of all Chinese science.
