'On 25 September 1710, Pope Clement XI finally promulgated the 1704 decree 'Cum Deus
optimus', which condemned the toleration of certain Confucian rituals among Chinese
Catholic converts and the use of the Chinese terms 'tian' and 'Shangdi' to refer to
the Christian God. This papal decision antagonised the Kangxi Emperor and devastated
the Jesuit China mission. Although the Jesuits were prohibited from publicly refuting
the decree, the Flemish Jesuit François Noël sought to defend the Jesuit position
by publishing his voluminous scholarship on the Chinese classics. Among other works,
in 1711 Noël published two seminal contributions to the history of sinology: the
'Sinensis imperii libri classici sex' or 'libri sex', and the 'Philosophia Sinica',
a sophisticated treatment of Chinese metaphysics, ritual, and ethics. While the 'Libri
sex' achieved some degree of influence in the Enlightenment through the French translation
of the French Jesuit historian Du Halde and the writings of the philosopher Christian
Wolff, the 'Philosophia Sinica' was actively suppressed by the Superior-General of
the Jesuit order. Yet it is in this latter work where the full breadth of Noël's
originality and intellectual contribution can be found. Noël reinterprets the Jesuit's
position through the lens of Neo-Confucianism, integrating concepts such as li, taiji,
yin and yang in his reading of Chinese philosophy. With contributions from sinologists
and intellectual historians, this book offers the first systematic study of this pioneering
work.'
