“…The emphasis on God as the Creator and the supreme ruler of the universe, or, as the missionary works published in Chinese put it, tianzhu 天主 (Lord of Heaven), originated in Michele Ruggieri's (1543-1607, Chinese: Luo Mingjian 羅明堅) work, Tianzhu shilu (Canaris 2023). While the idea of the person of Jesus, along with the more difficult doctrines-such as the Incarnation, Immaculate Conception, and the Resurrection-can be a source of endless theological inquiry, an emphasis on natural theology seems more manageable to swallow for the Chinese.…”

This paper reveals the interweaving of three traditions—Christian, Manchu, and Han Chinese—in the work of an unduly neglected figure in early modern China, Aisin-Gioro Depei 愛新覺羅·德沛 (1688–1752), who was a Manchu prince, neo-Confucian philosopher, and likely, a hidden Christian. The analysis demonstrates that Depei developed a particular syncretic philosophy based on the rational theology that he learned from the works of a significant Jesuit missionary, Giulio Aleni (1582–1649, 艾儒略), notably Aleni’s Xingxue cushu 性學觕述 (A Brief Introduction to the Study of Human Nature). Using resources from Christian and Confucian traditions, Depei puts forward an approach, which marks the continuation of the cross-cultural interpretation movement launched by the missionaries since the late Ming.

“…9 3 Ruggieri's text has recently been the subject of several informative articles by Daniel Canaris: see Canaris 2019; 2020; 2021. Additionally, Canaris has prepared an edition of the Chinese text along with the original Latin version, Vera et Brevis Divinarum Rerum Expositio, to be dated to 1582 (see Canaris 2023). The text of the Tianzhu shilu was subsequently revised and published under the fuller title Tianzhu shengjiao shilu sometime around 1640.…”

In the sixth chapter of his Tianzhu shiyi (天主實義, “The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven”), Matteo Ricci offers a critique of the anti-intentionalistic thread that he detects in the Chinese philosophical tradition. In this brief essay, I offer an analysis of a noteworthy archery analogy that Ricci employs to describe the nature of ethical action as an intentional process with a conscious aim. I trace how Ricci skilfully combines Western and Chinese images and categories to craft this simile. Before that, I set the stage by offering some preliminary comments that contextualize Ricci's interest in the question of intentional vs. non-intentional conduct.
