近百年来中国政治思想史研究综论

Studies in the History of Chinese Political Thoughts during the Last Century

中国政治思想史作为一个相对独立的学科,始于20世纪初叶,迄今已近百年。近百年来,这一研究领域固然出现了众多学术大师,却没能够形成得到学术界公认的明显的学术派别。尽管如此,以方法论为参照,大体上还是可以划分为“新学历史学”、“马克思主义历史学”和“现代政治学”三个流派。其中,新学历史学流派在三四十年代最为活跃,可谓大师辈出;马克思主义历史学流派的鼎盛时期是50年代至70年代的大陆学术界;现代政治学流派源起颇早,兴盛却晚,然而这一流派代表着中国政治思想史研究的发展方向。

The first time when the history of Chinese political thoughts was studied as a relative independent discipline was in the early times of the 20^th Century. This paper studies the early status of history of Chinese political thoughts and tries to generalize it from three aspects. First, we repartitioned development phases of studies in the field of history of Chinese political thoughts. Second, we analyzed this history in three different schools, namely, the history school of Xinxue （newlearning）, the history school of Marxism and the school of modern political science. And third, we also analyzed the technical characteristics and the cultural values of history of Chinese political thoughts. This kind of generalization and analysis can provide some clues and facilitate relevant researches.
