面对西方主流学界西方文化中心论的偏执，李约瑟毅然提出，朱熹理学通过来华耶稣会士的传播而激发了莱布尼茨独特的有机论哲学，进而影响到以马克思、怀特海为代表的现代有机论世界观。尽管这一设想存在一些问题（如对莱布尼茨思想的理解和历史考证等），但李约瑟深刻地洞察到中国古典自然观与西方现代有机论哲学之间存在着令人惊讶的契合，这无疑对我们反思中国古代自然观的理论价值和现代意义具有重大启发。

Against the prejudice of Western culture chauvinism, Joseph Needham puts forwards the idea that Zhu Xi~s Neo- Confucianism, through the translation of the Jesuits, stimulated the organismic philosophy of Leibniz, and thus influenced the shaping of modern Western organismic worldview. His assumption can not survive serious reflections which expose some theoretical and chronological problems in it. Nevertheless Needham ＇s thoughtful insight that there exist surprising similarities between Chinese thoughts and modern Western organism proves to be highly relevant and stimulating for contemporary rethinking of the implication and the value of the ancient Chinese worldview.
