“八小时以外奋斗终生”:谷霁光先生的治学精神

Dedicating My Life to the Struggle of Scientific Research outside My Eight Hours:The Academic Spirit of Mr.Gu Jiguang

谷霁光先生是国内外著名的兵制史、经济史专家,一生勤奋刻苦,严谨治学,求真务实,恪守"八小时以外奋斗终生"的治学精神。这一治学精神的提出,与他的行政和社会工作有关,八小时以内他只能从事行政和教学等工作,八小时以外才能专心从事科学研究。"八小时以外奋斗终生"主观意识是靠个人自觉的努力,而不是别人逼迫的努力。个人自觉努力,要讲究治学思路和方法,可以概括为四点:一是高度重视学术情报和资料搜集工作;二是实事求是,严谨治学,文如其人;三是强调理论建树;四是要有勤奋刻苦、顽强拼搏的精神和坚持不懈、持之以恒的毅力。这种治学思路是对传统乾嘉学派学风的传承与弘扬。
