港台“新儒家”学术群体研究的再思考——以徐复观与牟宗三交往、办刊、论学之分歧为中心的考察

Rethinking the Study of the"Neo-Confucian"Academic Group in Hong Kong and Taiwan China:An Examination Centered on the Divergences in Xu Fuguan and Mou Zongsan's Interactions,Journal Management,and Scholarly Discussions

一般认为,以徐复观、牟宗三为代表的港台第二代新儒家学人,在对传统文化持有温情敬意的共同价值立场背后,呈现给外界的多是休戚与共、同甘共苦的直观印象。但通过徐、牟、唐之间往复函札的解读,可知徐、牟在《民主评论》办刊方式、刊物风格定位上存在不少歧见;在宋明理学的诠释理路、学术观点上,二人亦所同不胜其异。从“新儒家”群体学术脉络的形成出发,揭示徐、牟看似交往融洽的背后,潜藏着的思维方式、社会实践以及致思论学上的紧张与分歧,这对深化20世纪后半期港台新儒学史的研究自有其不可忽视的价值。

It is generally believed that the second generation of Neo-Confucianists in Hong Kong and Taiwan,represented by Xu Fuguan and Mou Zongsan,had a common value position of warm respect for traditional culture,presenting to the outside world an intuitive impression of sharing weal or woe and standing together through thick and thin.But through the interpretation of the correspondence between Xu Fuguan,Mou Zongsan and Tang Junyi,it becomes evident that Xu and Mou had considerable disagreements over the management style and content orientation of the journal Minzhu pinglun(Democracy Review).Additionally,their interpretations and academic viewpoints on Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties also differed significantly,with their differences outweighing their similarities.Starting from the formation of the academic context of the"Neo-Confucian"group,this paper reveals the underlying tensions and disagreements in thinking patterns,social practices,and academic pursuits that existed beneath the seemingly harmonious interactions between Xu and Mou.This has undeniable value in deepening the study of the history of Neo-Confucianism in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the second half of the 20th century.
