【摘要】 明朝万历朝以来,在欧洲地理大发现的大背景下,一批批传教士、商人和侵略者随之东来,伴随他们一起到来的,还有较为先进的西方地理学知识。西方地理学的传入,对中国社会产生了巨大的影响。文章首先从时间上给自己一个界定,即从明朝万历年间到清朝时期,再结合历史地理学的方法进行这方面的一点探讨希望能有所收获。明清以来西方地理学的传入,对中国科技界、文化界乃至中国社会均产生了长远而巨大的影响。明清中国地理学的发展,离不开西方地理学的传入和影响。但是中国传统地理学也并没有因为西方地理学的传入而力量尽失或停滞不前,对于这一点需要指出并加以重视。本文试图从地理学的相互影响与交流的角度对明末以来西方地理学传到中国的时间、渠道、传入的西方地理学的特征以及在其影响下对中国传统地理学和中国社会的冲击和影响进行一些阐述,并结合中国地理学本身的特点,客观的揭示西方地理学对近代中国思想观念、文化科技和地图测绘方面的影响及其社会价值。同时,中国传统地理学在从古到今的发展过程中从未中断过,可以说中国历史时期地理学体系是一个纵向的连续的整体,因此,研究明清时期西方地理学在中国的传播,对中国历史地理学体系方面也有一定的意义。更多还原
