论文摘要.
随着中西文化的交流,越来越多的国外学者开始放眼中国文学和文化。孔子是古代中国最伟大的思想家和教育家,国内学者对他的研究,迄今为止,可谓硕果累累。但为了深入研究,为了取得更大的进展,国内
的学者需要关注并借鉴国外的研究成果。他山之石,可以攻玉。不同的文化背景产生不同的思维方式和审视角度,所以国外的汉学研究可以为我们提供了一个很好的视点。美国学者对孔子的研究虽然起步较晚,但是具有较高的学术水准。在二战以前。美国主要的汉学师资来自于英国,尽管如此,美国的思想史研究不同于其他国家。美国最早介入先秦经典研究的是有哲学素养的学者,这就使得美国的先秦思想史研究具有一定的思辩意识,并且自然而然地形成了自己的风格。二战以后,美国汉学家对中国思想史的研究有了长足的进步,形成了有自身特点的研究传统和思考方式。
因此,本文试以“美国学者对孔子思想的研究”为题,展开对美国学者研究的介绍,重点对几位代表学者的成果作介绍、分析,并结合国内学者的研究成果,对之进行论说、评价,试图揭示他们的关注重心和研究特点,为我们研究孔子提供新的思路。这不仅有利于推动学术研究的进一步发展,而且也有利于促使学术交流的国际化,使汉文化更好地在海外传播、弘扬。
本文首先在引言部分就论题的基本情况进行了说明,在第一章中总结了美国学者对孔子研究的概况,对美国学界主要的研究学派和代表学者进行梳理归纳。第二章就美国学者所关注的问题进行了集中的提炼、并作深入的探讨论析,其内容包括他们如何关注和研究孔予的政治、教育、哲学思想等问题。第三章着重介绍美国代表学者的研究特和研究方法,对孔子思想研究做出突出贡献的美国学者各自迥然的研究方法进行介绍和探究。在此基础上,第四章更深一层地对美国
学者孔子思想研究展开一些思考,到代表学者在研究孔子思想时的共性,并探讨了这一研究领域未来的发展前景。

Along with the China a nd the West cu l t u re exchange,more and more abroad sch ol a rs start to take a bro a d view on the Chin e se Ii ter at ure an d the culture.Con fue ius was the greatest thinker and t he e du c at i on a li s t in an ci en t China.Nowadays,our domestic schola rs ha ve go t many accomplishments ab o ut Confucius’thoughts.But meanwhile,our re se ar c h has a ls o got in to some diffic ult circumstances.It is S O difficult to exceed the p re dec es so rs’S UCC ES S.Le arn in g from others,may get out of the dilemma.The overseas Sinology r ese arc h a c t ua l ly has provided a
