Miêu tả:The Order of Preachers was responsible for the evangelization of the Chinese in Manila from their arrival in the Philippines in 1587. For this purpose, several members studied the Chinese language. The most important was Juan Cobo (? -1592), author of a Chinese book, the Shilu, published in 1593. This is the first text that introduces Catholic religion from a rational point of view, and also the first one that introduces European scientific ideas in the Chinese cultural sphere. The Shilu is a synthesis of Chinese and European philosophical ideas. However, the use of several terms from the Neo-Confucian thought, such as wuji, taiji or li, possibly led to serious philosophical and religious misunderstandings among Chinese literati, to whom the book was addressed. In this paper, several fragments from the Shilu are analyzed. The conclusion is that these misunderstandings may have caused the subsequent short circulation of the book.
