《一位医生的信仰》是英国17世纪博识家托马斯·布朗爵士的代表作。本文隔着遥远的时空距离对其进行观察,力求探索其所呈示的一位个体思考者的精神空间,并归纳出一些仍具有相关性的意义。具体讲,从现今中国读者角度看,布朗在西方现代化较早阶段对于个人内部空间的注重、对于个人阅读对象的扩展,以及在以开放心态对待新兴自然科学的同时仍不失宗教情怀等几个方面,仍值得我们重温。 The “Doctrine of a Doctor” is a masterpiece of Sir Thomas Brown, a British seventeenth-century blogger. This article observes the distant space-time distance and seeks to explore the mental space of an individual thinker presented by it, and concludes some still relevant meanings. Specifically speaking, from the point of view of current Chinese readers, Brown paid more attention to the internal space of individuals in the early stages of the Western modernization, expanded his personal reading objects and still enjoyed religious attitudes toward the emerging natural sciences with an open mind It still deserves our review.
