对花还忆去年人——以序跋作品考察陈寅恪的学术理路

A Study of Chen Yinque's Academic Thoughts through Prefaces and Epilogues

史学巨擘陈寅恪对于其自身治学历程与学术理路,生命感慨与世事洞察的不少自述,均散见于为他人著述所做的的序言,以及略征旧籍参证的跋文、"书后"当中。这些文字既是在对原作者"了解之同情"基础上对其作品意义的深入阐发和推许,也是陈寅恪夫子自道以告慰友朋的一种途径。从而成为理解陈氏学术路径、治学精神与人生价值的重要资料。本文通过对收入《陈寅恪集》的数十篇这类文字进行解读,进而讨论陈寅恪的史学方法与史学精神,试图梳理出另一种可能近乎陈寅恪其人及其学说的解释模式。

Chen Yinque, the great historian, wrote a series of prefaces to the works by with reference to old documents, in which he reflected on his academic experience expressed other scholars and epilogues and research methods, and his feelings about life and worldly affairs. These writings are not only based on Chen＇s interpretation and affirmation of the significance of the academic researches with his ＂sympathy of understanding＂, but also serve as a way to comfort his friends, which can be seen as important materials to reveal Chen Yinque＇s academic approaches and spirits as well as his attitude towards life. This article discusses Chen＇s research methods in history studies by analyzing dozens of his prefaces and epilogues collected in the Anthology of Chen Yinque, and also attempts to interpret Chen Yinque both as a person and as a scholar in an alternative way.
