试论侯外庐中国思想史研究的开端

摘要

侯外庐的中国思想史研究建立在马克思主义唯物史观的基础之上，紧扣时代的脉搏，继承中国优秀传统文化，对中西文化进行深入比较，探讨其异同。在中国思想史研究的开端，就冷静地钻研、不懈地思索，遵循严格的研究规范，提出了许多深刻的问题，在学术研究的过程中逐渐创立了一个史学学派，由此形成中国思想史研究的典型范式。本文尝试对侯外庐20世纪三四十年代的中国思想史研究的特点进行分析并揭示其学术意义。%Based on Marx’ s Historical Materialism, inheriting Chinese traditional culture, Hou Wailu’ s research about the history of Chinese thought and culture keeps abreast of time and probes deep into the comparison between western and Chinese culture. He studied and contemplated calmly when the research of Chinese thought began. By standard research norms, he proposed many questions and came to found a historical research school, which later became a paradigm in that area. This thesis analyses features of Hou’ s research in 1930s to 1940s and attempts to reveal its academic meaning.
