中国心理学史学科的创建与开拓——论杨鑫辉教授的学术思想

Founding and Developing of the Discipline of History of Chinese Psychology: With a Review of Yang Xinhui's Contributions

杨鑫辉教授从20世纪70年代末开始从事中国心理学史研究,历经奠基、发展和提高三个阶段,取得了丰硕的研究成果,成为中国心理学史学科的主要创建者之一,被中国心理学会授予学科建设成就奖。他提出了研究中国心理学史的"一导三维多元"方法学,即坚持辩证唯物主义与历史唯物主义一个根本性的指导思想,遵循以心理实质为主线、以现代心理学概念和体系为参照、以科学历史主义为评价三维原则,采用归类排比法、史料考证法、义理诠释法、纵横比较法、实证检验法和系统分析法等多元研究方法。他提炼了中国古代心理学思想的范畴体系,即以人性为元范畴,以关于心理实质的形与神、心与物、性与习、关于心理过程的知与虑、情与欲、志与意和关于个性心理的质与性、智与能为三个亚范畴。他建构了中国心理学史的学科体系,研究了中国心理学史的广泛专题问题。

Professor Yang Xinhui,one of the main founders of the discipline of history of Chinese psychology,has been engaged in the research on history of Chinese psychology since the late 1970s. He has made rich achievements in the field of the history of Chinese psychology and was granted the Achievement Award for disciplinary construction by the Chinese Psychological Society. He has developed a methodology for the research on history of Chinese psychology,known as ＂Marxism as guiding thought with three principles and multiple methods＂. Specifically,the methodology advocates taking dialectical materialism and historical materialism as the fundamental guiding ideology. There are three principles of the methodology： the psychological essence as the main line,the concepts and systems of modern psychology as the reference,and the evaluation with scientific historicism. The methodology consists of multiple methods such as classified parallelism method,historical textual research method, demonstration-annotation hermeneutics,empirical testing,and system analysis. He has refined the category system of Chinese ancient psychological thoughts. In his view,human nature is the meta-category,and there are three sub-categories. He has constructed a variety of disciplinary systems of Chinese history of psychology. He has also made a wide range of research on thematic issues on history of Chinese psychology.
