Challenging the conventional understanding of On Heavenly Evolution in terms of Social Darwinism, this article instead proposes to understand this text in terms of “Western science,” more precisely in terms of “Western gezhi” 西學格致 (Western-Style “Investigation of Things to Acquire Knowledge”)—the term Yan Fu 嚴復(1854-1921) coined to render “Western science” into Chinese so as to fashion On Heavenly Evolution as a representative text of “Western science.” By foregrounding Yan Fu’s concept of “Western gezhi,” this article re-contextualizes this crucial text of modern Chinese thought as a pivotal moment in a three-century-long struggle to fashion “Western science” as Neo-Confucian gezhi so as to win cultural authority for it in China.
