On the inheritance,innovation and integration of“Mencius Studies”in the period of Republic of China

民国时期的孟子学,相较于其他时代,较为薄弱,但也表现出鲜明的时代特色——传承创新、融合中西。具体表现在三个方面:用时代思想对传统命题进行新的诠释;随着现代学科体系的转变,开拓出许多新的研究领域;以孟子思想为重要学术资源,构建新的哲学体系。在孟子学的背后,是民国知识分子应时代之变,促进传统学术与传统文化现代转型的艰苦卓绝的努力。孟子思想也在这些努力中重新焕发生命活力,成为现代社会取之不尽、用之不竭的思想资源。
