徐复观的考据观和考据方法述论

Description of Xu Fuguan's Textual Research View and Methods

徐复观对乾嘉汉学和以胡适为代表的新考据派在治学上的态度立场、价值关怀等持批判态度。徐氏认为考据虽可解决细微局部的问题,但崇尚考据的学风,使许多学者丧失思考力,造成思想上的贫乏,导致学术经世功用缺失,无益于社会现实和文化思想问题的解决。他以思想史的路径切入到对中国文化问题的探讨,主张思想与考据相结合,在治学上反对悬空立论,强调以考据作为治思想史的起点。在考证方法上,他提出文献线索考证法和思想线索考证法,而此两种方法都是建立在穷其思想源流、发展演变的视角基础上的。

Xu Fuguan holds a critical attitude towards the scholar standpoints and value of Chinese studies both in Qianlong and Jiaqin periods and of new textual research schools represented by Hu Shi. Xu Fuguan thinks that,though able to settle some detailed issues,the textual research makes thought poor and reduces the academic function of serving for reality. According to his perspective,textual research,solving detail problems,should be considered as the starting point in researching the history of thought,thus groundless argument should be abandoned. On textual research methods,Xu Fuguan puts forward that data induction and thought clues textual research method,which are all based on exploring the thought origin and the evolution.
