雷海宗学术评价问题新议

A New Discussion about the Academic Evaluation on Lei Haizong

雷海宗先生近年已被誉为"历史学家"、"史学大师",然而盛名之下是否有相对应的学术成就?学术评价只能根据其著述来判定,《伯伦史学集》一书将雷先生的主要历史撰述基本收录于内,只要客观、公正地加以审视,则可发现在所收各文中论点、论据以及学术方法,舛误充斥,实在乏善可陈。雷先生在宏观上,热衷于先验地构建历史体系,不做深入研究和验证,而不惜削足适履;在具体问题上,对历史考据根本没有入门,却硬选难题,罔顾史实,随意定论,这是其治史的致命伤。学术界应当以学术理性的精神,重新作出公允的学术评价。

Mr. Lei Haizong is described as a historian and a historian master in recent years. But, did he have corre-sponding academic achievements as a famous historian? Academic evaluation can only be based on his writings.Historical Theses Collection of Bolun includes most historical theses of Mr. Lei. We can find lots of errors of arguments and academic methods in his theses if we read the papers in an objective and impartial attitude. Mr.Lei Keen hankered after apriori building historical system at the macro. He did not carry on a deep research and verification but adopted a Procrustean manner. As far as specific issues are concerned, he did not know historical textual research. Despite historical facts, he selected an issue and gave a conclusions casually. Those are fatal mistakes in his historical research. The academic circles should re-make a fair academic evaluation of his research in an academic rational attitude.
