梁启超学术史观念三题

Liang Qichao(梁启超)'s Three Pairs of Perspective Concepts on Academic History

梁启超在其学术史著中,使用了反动与先驱、复古与解放诸观念。在特定的时间背景下,对于前面一段学术潮流的反动,却可以成为后面一段学术新潮的启迪;对于历代学术问题的复兴,同时也就是对历代学术的解放。承接其意,也可以说,在传统中绝的时态下,对于古学的保守,亦即是重要的创新。

Liang Qichao used such dualist concepts as reactionary and herald, restoration and emancipation , etc. in his works. In a particular historical context, the reactionary against the previous academic tendency can he an enlightenment of the later academic trends of thought; the restoration of the academic issues by all the generations can mean the emancipation of systematic study of all the generations simultaneously. In this sense, it is safe to say that, with tradition cut off from the continuum, restoring the essence of ancient study is also an essential kind of innovation.
