How Should Academic Research Serve the National Rejuvenation Purpose? Chinese Academia after the Mukden Incident

九一八事变后,随着民族复兴思潮的兴起,中国学术界以他们的专业知识积极服务于民族复兴。首先,他们对学术研究与民族复兴思潮的关系进行了讨论,充分认识到学术研究于民族复兴的重要意义。其次,他们以自己的研究,对国人最为关心的"中华民族有无复兴的可能"的问题,做出了肯定的回答,认为无论从中华民族历史上的复兴案例,还是从其他国家复兴的经验来看,中华民族都能够实现复兴。复次,他们认为造成中华民族衰落的一个重要原因,是民族自信心的丧失,所以要实现中华民族的复兴,当务之急是要恢复和树立民族的自信心。为帮助国人恢复和树立民族自信心,他们积极从事中国历史尤其是文化史的研究,同时主张对教育特别是历史教育进行改革。因为在他们看来,国人民族自信心的丧失,与教育的西化有着密切的关系。
