谈廖名春评价顾颉刚的方法论问题

Liao Mingchun's Criticism on Gu Jiegang's Methodology

在对顾颉刚及疑古派的研究中,廖名春《试论古史辨运动兴起的思想来源》比较颖出,但是廖文评价顾颉刚时“假设”有余而“求证”不足,并因嵌入政治背景而使问题复杂化,其研究没有跳出古史辨派的圈子。关于对顾颉刚的评价问题,首要的不在具体结论,而在方法论上。

Among the studies on Gu Jiegang and incredulity school, Liao Chunming' s On the Ideological origin of the Revival of Historical Text Research Movement is a salient one. However, Liao' s argument appears to be too hypothetical and lack of evidence, and his study, due to putting into political background, makes the problem more complicated. Therefore, liao' s study does not transcend Historical Text Research School. As to the criticism on Gu Jiegang, the principal issue lies in the study on methodology instead of specific conclusion .
