中国思想学术史上的道统与派分

“Dao Tong”and Different Schools in China's Intellectual History

中国思想学术史上的派分,与道统论渊源甚深。晚近学人尤好以学派讲学术,并且奠定了学术史叙述的基本框架。而判定流派的标准,包括宗师、学说、方法、师承与传人的谱系化、流变以及地缘关系等,大抵是他人或后人的指认。循此探寻学术发展变化的渊源脉络,容易倒述历史。深入门户,超越学派,则可以更好地理解古往今来学术发展的渊源脉络和趋向。

The different schools in China's intellectual history are profoundly related to arguments about“Dao Tong.”Modern scholars tend to demarcate different schools in discussing academic learning, and thus set up a framework for narratives of academic history. Criteria employed to determine a school include masters, theories, methodology, the master-disciple pedigree, and its course of development, as well as geographic elements. These schools were largely identified by outsiders or later researchers for convenience in tracing the historical development of particular theories. However, the development of and trends in academic studies may be better understood if researchers explore more deeply into the teachings of the various schools and transcend their superficial division.
