儒学史的叙述与建构反思

A Reflection on Narration and Construction of History of Confucian Studies

在现代学科体系传入中国并建立之后,儒学被要求呈现出客观化与知识化的面貌。此后,各种显在的和隐含的意识形态因素不断地渗透到学术领域。在学科化的大势下,儒学的价值取向并没有消失,而以历史的眼光来梳理其发展史是一种理论的必然要求。儒学第三期发展的叙述,及其受到的相应批评,均反映了历史观、信仰等多重因素对于现代儒学史撰作的方法论意义。在当下的学术环境中,我们应容纳多面相与多层次的儒学史叙述模式。纯粹的学术史书写,在方法上必须客观、中立;至于侧重于发掘儒家精神生命的成长史的书写,作为一种建构,其书写者以此种精神的延续为目标。这种叙述模式指向未来,体现了书写者对于儒家思想之前景的期许。

After the introduction and establishment of modern discipline system, Confucian study is required to present objective and knowledgeable features. Ever since then, various overt and hidden ideological factors have continuously penetrated into the academic field. With this great trend of disciplinary demands, the Confucian orientation of value hasn＇t disappeared, and it is a necessary theoretical requirement to organize its history of development with a historical perspective. The third developmental stage of the narration of Confucianism and the related criticism reflect an ontological significance of the factors, such as historical view, conviction, etc., to the writings of modern history of Confucianism. In today＇s academic situation, we should allow a multi-fagade and multi-layer pattern of narration for such a history. A pure writing of academic history books must be objective and neutral. As a construction for discovering Confucian spiritual life, the authors must take the duration of this spirit as their target, so as to make this narration pattern for the future and for a prospective desire of Confucian ideas.
