關於我們
Dominican friars first arrived in China in the middle of the thirteenth century, during Thomas Aquinas' own lifetime, but there was no institutional presence until the seventeenth century when the freshly arrived friars immediately prioritized the question of how the Catholic Faith might engage with local philosophical and religious beliefs. In intervening years Dominicans from across the world have maintained a lively interest in questions concerning the promotion of Catholic thought in the Chinese speaking world and today many friars continue to follow St Thomas' example in bringing Catholic teaching into contact with other traditions in thoughtful and mutually enriching encounter.
道明會會士最早於十三世紀中葉來到中華地區，當時正值聖多瑪斯‧阿奎那在世時期。直到十七世紀，道明會才在中國建立制度性的常設機構。當時新到的會士立即投入於探索天主教信仰如何與本地哲學與宗教思想進行對話的課題。自此以來，全球道明會士持續關注在華語世界推廣天主教思想的相關議題。直至今日，許多會士仍秉持聖多瑪斯的榜樣，致力於促進教會教導與其他思想傳統的深度交流與互相啟發。
Established in 2025 the Thomas Aquinas Center has carried on the work initially begun by the Vice-Province of China in collaborating with local universities and groups in Taiwan as well as institutions across the world in organizing public conferences and lectures and is currently expanding this work through bringing together active scholars to form a lively Dominican presence in the ongoing conversation between Western thought and Chinese intellectual traditions.
