中西方古典文献研究方法与理论之反思——以田晓菲《尘几录》评论为中心

Reconsideration on the Methods and Theories of Chinese and Western Classical Philology Research:Focusing on The Record of a Dusty Table by Tian Xiaofei

田晓菲教授所著《尘几录——陶渊明与手抄本文化研究》在海内外引起强烈反响。与海外汉学界给出的一致好评不同,大陆学者的回应呈现出两极分化之势,且贬多于褒。本文不再通过对该书细枝末节的分析以论其好坏,而是试图将问题的焦点转向中西学者迥异评价背后所展现的不同学术立场以及他们对各自传统学术理论方法的接受与运用。对这些问题加以梳理,以此管窥我们对待传统和海外新说的心态,在反思中西方文化与学术差异的同时,站在我国自身文献古籍与古代社会文化发展的立场上,取其精华,为我所用,实现关于古典文学文献研究的自我思考的深化与拓展。

Professor Tian’s Tao Yuanming and Manuscript Culture:The Record of a Dusty Table has aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad.Unlike the unanimous praise given by overseas sinology circles,the responses of mainland scholars showed a trend of polarization,with more criticism than praise.This article is not intended to discuss the quality by analyzing the details,but to focus on various academic stances from the different evaluations of Chinese and Western scholars and their reception and application of traditional academic theories.We would understand our attitude towards traditional and overseas new ideas,by listing out all regarding issues.As we reflect on the cultural and academic differences between China and the West,we should take a stand for our country’s ancient classic and ancient society’s cultural development,and discard the dross and take its essence to deepen and expand our self-reflection regarding the research of classical literature.
