明代思想家史学家陈建研究述评

A Review of the Studies on Chen Jian,a Thinker and Historian in the Ming Dynasty

陈建是明中后期著名的理学家和史学家,历史文献中对其记载比较零散。近代以来,史学界对陈建的研究经历了由简单到复杂,从零星到系统的发展过程,研究的广度和深度不断拓展与深化。众多的研究者和丰硕的成果使得陈建及其作品的价值逐渐被人们认可。但这些研究成果与陈建学术价值本身相比仍相对薄弱,尤其对《治安要议》的研究还是空白,尚有待于进一步发掘和深入。

Chen Jian is a famous philosopher and historian in the middle and the late Ming Dynasty. But only scattered records about him could be found in historical documents. From the modern times, the study on Chen Jian has experienced a process from being simple to complex, from being sporadic to systematic. The areas of study are continuously going wider and deeper. Numerous researchers and substantial achievement cause Chen Jian and his works to be extensively acknowledged. However, the research isnot equal to Chen Jian＇s achievement. Especially, there is not much study on Zhi An Yao Yi, which still needs to be further explored.
