中唐古文家文道观研究之反思

Reflections on the Study ofM id-Tang Writers' Thoughts on Wen-Dao

对中唐古文家文道观的研究与阐释,自20世纪以来经历了复杂的变化。从内容与形式之关系来理解文道关系,是十分流行的阐释视角,但其中存在简单化的决定论倾向。为克服这一局限,海内外研究者进行了多方面的探索。最近20多年来,对"文"的思想史意义的思考,吸引了学界的兴趣,有关研究受到语言哲学、过程哲学和概念史等丰富理论视角的影响,对深化文道观的阐释多有启发,其间的局限也值得反思。

The interpretations of Mid-Tang writers'thoughts on Wen-Dao have undergone great changes since the 20th century.The relationship between Dao and Wen is considered as that between content and form.The determinist doctrine that form is determined by content is popular in the interpretation of Wen-Dao,while it is expressed in a too simplified way in most time.The attempt to make more reasonable interpretations has drawn a lot of interests.In the past 20 years,the intellectual meaning of Wen was influenced by some new approaches in philosophical study such as linguistic philosophy,process philosophy,linguistic contextualism and conceptual history.This opens a new way for the study of Wen-Dao,though it also has some limitations.
