文学思想史的“加法”与“减法”

“Addition“and “subtraction”in the history of literature

文学思想史的所谓"加法",是相对于百余年"西学东渐"所形成的人文学科研究中剥离、提纯的"减法"路数而言的。针对这种"减法"路数所导致的研究对象和研究方法方面的缺失,我们认为,材料范围和研究路数的拓展,可以视为未来"加法"的方向。这不仅意味着在更大范围内丰富资料篇目和来源,也意味着在更深层面上重新审视思想史研究中习见的方式方法。为此,我们以阮籍研究为例,特别检讨了社会历史语境分析和文本分析两种常见路数的得失,以期为未来的文学思想史研究提供一种新的审视角度。

＂Addition＂ in the history of literature is relative to stripping and purification, or the method of ＂subtraction＂ that arose in the process of Western learning travelling eastward during the twentieth century. The lack of research objects and method as a result of this ＂ subtraction＂, we believe, points to the future direction of ＂addition＂ epitomizing the expansion of the range of materials and research methods. This not only means an increase of data and sources, but also an opportunity for a wider range and deeper reexamination of the methods commonly employed in the study of history. This essay represents an attempt to widen the perspectives of future literary history research by a textual and contextual analysis of Ruan Ji.
