【摘要】 游艺是明末清初我国重要的思想家和天文历算家,其天文历算的代表作《天经或问》涵盖了天文历法、水文气象、天灾异象及人生性理等方面的知识,内容丰富,题材多样,具有极高的科技史料价值。但在中国思想史和中国科技史上,游艺却几乎被人遗忘,目前尚未见有关于他的专门研究论文和著作。基于此,本文拟在对《天经或问》进行全面深入的梳理和解读的基础上,对游艺的天文学思想和宇宙模型做一初探,发掘游艺这位被长期埋没的思想家和天文历算家的思想和成就,以期还原游艺在明清科学思想史、天文历算史上的地位。《天经或问》分为前集和后集两部分,是约于1675年和1681年刊行的通俗天文学著作。其研究和录入对象主要包括:天文历法、水文气象、天灾异象及人生性理。《天经或问前集》以论述天文学为主,兼论水文气象。《天经或问后集》则以论述异象和性理为主,还包含了关于中国历法发展史的讨论等。在前集的论述中,游艺全文征引,引用当时西方传教士翻译、流入中国的天文学著作;或者概括、综述其师友、前人的研究成果,并附加自己的评论、观点,对西方传入的天文学知识作了比较系统、全面、通俗的评介,同时也论述了中国传统天文历法的相关论述。《天经或问前集》在传播普及当时传入中国的西方天文学知识方面产生了极大的影响,对当时中西方天文学知识的交流与融合做出了突出的贡献。本文试图在现有研究资料的基础上对游艺的宇宙天文学思想、《天经或问》的成书背景以及意义进行介绍。关于游艺如何构建自己的宇宙天文体系、《天经或问》如何对当时中西方宇宙天文问题作出评述、汇各家之言而成一家之说,游艺的天文思想、宇宙模型、《天经或问》对当时天文学界产生的重大影响等方面有着重要的研究意义与价值,也是本文所要努力尝试的方向和目标。本文绪论部分主要介绍课题的研究背景及意义、研究内容及方法、研究的重点及创新点等。正文部分首先是对游艺与《天经或问》的概括和简述,主要介绍游艺所处的社会历史背景、生平经历、与揭暄等人的交往。其次通过比较研究的手法,通过与其同时代天文历算家的学说对比分析游艺的天文学思想,主要是阐释其岁差、左右旋等观点。再次是结合笛卡尔、朱熹等人的天文思想与宇宙模型,介绍游艺的地心宇宙模型、漩涡说等思想。文章结尾部分主要是针对游艺的宇宙天文学观点、《天经或问》的内容与价值进行综合分析、总体评价,归纳总结了游艺天文学思想的价值,揭示了游艺与《天经或问》在天文学史上的深远影响与重要地位。
