序跋:理解陈寅恪学术理路的一种向度

The Investigation of Chen Yinke'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。藉此也可更深入地理解陈寅恪的史学方法与史学精神,并呈现另一种可能近乎陈寅恪其人及其学说的解释模式。

Great historian Chen Yinke wrote a series of prefaces to the works of other scholars and epilogues with reference to old documents, in which he presented his considerations of his academic road and research methods, and expressed his feelings about life and worldly affairs. These writings are not only Chen＇ s profound interpretation and affirmation of the significance of the academic researches with the ＂sympathy of understanding＂, but also serve as a way to comfort his friends, which can be seen as important materials to reveal his academic experiences, spirits and views. This article intends to discuss Chen＇s research methods and ideas in history studies by analyzing dozens of prefaces and epilogues collected in the ＂Anthology of Chen Yirake＂, and thus wishes to comb out a fresh interpretive mode for the studies of Chen Yingke and his scholarship.
