近代墨学复兴与晚清儒学

The Mohism renaissance during modern times and the Confucianism during the late Qing Dynasty

墨学曾为先秦显学,西汉以降湮没无闻,但在19世纪重新显露并渐趋复兴。详究此中原因,除西学东渐、社会变动等外缘因素之外,墨学在近代的重振还受到中国传统学术发展的内在理路的制约。乾嘉考据学的高度发展及儒学正统地位在近代的衰落,不但为近代墨学复兴提供了起点与机遇,而且影响着近代墨学的治学途径和风格。

Mohism had been once famous school of thought at pre- Qin times and forgotten since Xihan Dynasty, however, it appeared again and gradually revived since the 19^thcentury. By thoroughly researching the causes,we find Mohism renaissance was restricted by the“intemal texture”of Chinese traditional academic development besides such external factors as western learning coming and social change. The high development of Qian jia school＇s textual criticism and the decline of total Confucianism in modem times not only provided the starting point and opportunity for Mohism renaissance during modem times, but also influenced its academic way and style.
