19世纪后期以来,儒学的命运便受到了儒学研究者们的强烈而普遍的关注,并且先后提出了风格各异的拯救儒学的主张。然而,即便是以新儒学研究为契机而兴起的、至今仍极有热度的当代儒学研究,对儒学开展方向问题似乎也没有切实的应答和解决,以至儒学的实际生存状况仍然被描述为“游魂”。为此,本刊约请南京大学李承贵教授等知名学者撰写了一组关于儒学在当代应如何开展的文章,以飨读者,并希望引起更广泛更深入的讨论。 Since the latter part of the 19th century, the fate of Confucianism has received strong and universal attention from Confucian researchers, and successively put forward different kinds of propositions to save Confucianism. However, even the modern Confucianism research, which is still in its infancy with the turning-point of Neo-Confucianism research, appears to have no practical answer or solution to the question of the direction of Confucianism. As a result, the actual living conditions of Confucianism are still described as “ soul”. To this end, this journal invites renowned scholar such as Professor Li Chenggui from Nanjing University to write a series of articles on how Confucianism should be carried out in contemporary times in order to readers, and hope to arouse more extensive and in-depth discussions.
