Research on Later Greek Philosophy in Chinese Academic Circles

Abstract

近年来中国学者在晚期希腊哲学研究领域中取得重要进展。本文以欧美学界的研 究近况为参照, 探讨中外晚期希腊哲学研究之差别与差距。作者认为:在晚期希腊哲 学的边界问题上, 中国学者经过长期探索, 形成了自己有别于欧美学者的独立见解, 提出了自己的解决方案;在对晚期希腊哲学特征的把握上, 中国学者的判断优于欧美 学者的判断;在晚期希腊哲学的史料工作上, 中国学者有明显的不足; 在晚期希腊哲 学的研究方法上, 中外学者已经明显地趋同。 关键词:晚期希腊哲学 晚期希腊哲学边界 晚期希腊哲学特征 晚期希腊哲学的研 究方法 中国学术界 欧美学界 In recent years, Chinese scholars have made important progress in research on later Greek philosophy. Using current European and American work as a reference point, this article explores the differences and gaps between foreign and Chinese scholars in this field of research. The author believes that on the question of the boundaries of later Greek philosophy, Chinese scholars have, through long years of exploration, come up with independent opinions and solutions that differ from those of their European and American counterparts, and that they have a better grasp of the distinctive features of later Greek philosophy. Their work, however, clearly falls short with regard to historical source material. As far as methodology is concerned, there is a clear tendency towards convergence between Chinese scholars and their foreign colleagues.
