| Abstract | This essay is concerned with the possibilities and limitations of the Jesuit-Islamic dialogue in China in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It presents and discusses evidence for the interest of Chinese Muslims and Jesuits in each other almost from the outset, immediately after Matteo Ricci s arrival in China. Muslims read Jesuit material and even incorporated it in their own works. Chinese Muslims were not, however, interested in Jesuit doctrines because of a shared monotheist faith: Chinese Muslims clearly saw Christianity not as a sister faith but as a Western one, and that was the main reason for their interest. With regard to the tendency to compare Jesuits and Chinese Muslims as two rivals competing for success in the Chinese world of ideas, the Chinese Muslim scholars should be considered not as rivals of the Jesuits but primarily as Chinese scholars engaging Jesuit knowledge and using it selectively for their own purposes.
Cet essai concerne les possibilités et les limites du dialogue jésuito-islamique dans la Chine des XVI-XVII e siècles. Il présente et discute les marques de l'intérêt réciproque que se portèrent musulmans chinois et jésuites dès les premiers temps de l'arrivée de Matteo Ricci en Chine. Les musulmans lisaient les matériaux jésuites et les incorporaient même dans leurs propres travaux. Cet essai montre toutefois que les musulmans chinois ne s'intéressaient pas aux doctrines jésuites au nom d'un monothéisme partagé. À l'évidence, les musulmans chinois ne considéraient pas le christianisme comme une foi «sœur» mais, comme une foi occidentale, et c'était là la principale raison de leur intérêt. Cet essai se veut également une critique de la tendance selon laquelle Jésuites et musulmans chinois auraient été des rivaux comparables se disputant le succès dans le monde chinois des idées. Il approche les lettrés chinois musulmans non comme des rivaux des jésuites mais, avant tout, comme des lettrés chinois se confrontant au savoir jésuite et l'utilisant sélectivement à leurs propres fins. |
