摘要: 陈寅恪的史学研究在中国人文社会科学研究领域有重要的学术地位。一直以来,围绕陈寅恪史学研究传统展开的学术史讨论大多局限于历史学乃至中古史研究的范畴。社会学、政治学等学科对其关注较少。在本文中,笔者尝试从陈寅恪史学研究的问题意识、研究路径与关键概念等角度,在重新整理陈寅恪著述史与细读文本的基础上,揭示他诸多研究著述之间的内在联系,并由此讨论陈寅恪史学研究传统对“文明发生学”这一问题的内在关切。笔者进而尝试从思想、风俗与制度三个关键词入手,理解这一“西学东渐”背景下的经典研究传统所具有的社会学理论意涵,并以此为基础,讨论其对我们当下开展面向中国本土历史与社会的社会学研究所具有的理论意义。

关键词: 制度, 风俗, 思想, 文明, 陈寅恪

Abstract: Chen Yinque's historical research has an important academic status in the field of humanities and social sciences in China. For a long time, the discussion of Chen Yinque's historical research has been largely confined to the scope of history and medieval studies. Social sciences such as sociology and political science have paid very little attention to Chen's works. The existing literature is often divided into two groups of scholars: those who follow the timeline of Chen's works to trace the content and style change in order to understand thehistorical progress of Chen's research and those who focus on Chen's unique methodology. Both groups neglect the general issues of his research tradition. Based on a careful reassessment of Chen's works, this paperattempts to locate the inner connections in Chen's writings and explore his inherent concern on the issue of “the birth of civilization”. Through a discussion of three keywords: idea, custom, and institution, the paper illustrates how Chen put his concern of general issues into concrete research. It is argued that these three keywords together constitute the internal foundation of Chen Yinque's consciousness on the question of “civilization occurrence”. The paper further explores the sociological implication of Chen's research tradition in the context of western learning and the theoretical significance of classical research tradition for the development of Chinese sociology.

Key words: institution, custom, thought, civilization, Chen Yinque
