民國學術從移植到國際化的歷程：讀王汎森等著《中華民國發展史．學術發展》

A Review Essay on 'The Development History of the Academic Discipline in the Republic of China' Edited by Fan-Sen Wang

近代學術主要呈現向學術院及專業化的發展方向，學科專業知識的培養，有賴高等院校設計有系統學科及課程、專業學會的承認，及學者在學術刊物上發表研究成果，新術得以推陳出新，而二○一二年剛好是中華民國建國一百年，臺灣政治大學為使民眾「認識中華民國創立與發展經過，與世人同享中華民國的卓越成就之宗旨，特邀集大型工作團隊」，執行《中華民國發展史》撰寫工作，整套叢書按「學術發展」、「政治與法制」、「社會發展」、「文學與藝術」、「教育與文化」六大範疇，分冊分章詳述一九一二至二○一二年，民國建元至今，政治、經濟、社會、學術、文化等各方面的發展，其中「學術發展」冊由王汎森教授主編，分為上下兩冊。而昔日研究及探討民國學術發展的論著，多談及單一項專科的發展，這些研究成果也多屬於人文及社會科學發展史的範疇，未如此冊，由多位專家學者合力撰寫一套包舉民國百年文理、法醫、社會及圖書館學等專業學科的論集，讀者閱讀此套書可以宏觀及微觀暸解民國百年各學科的發展歷程，各位作者也成功標舉學術隆興為民族文化的重要依據，尤以近年中國大陸興起研究臺灣學術風尚，大陸學者可以多閱讀此書，加深及全面暸解臺灣學術界自成體系發展的特色。

The direct ion of recent academic trends tends towards professionalism. Undoubtedly, tertiary institutes play a crucial role in nurturing professionals of various academic disciplines by developing programmes and courses systematically, recognising professional bodies, and publishing scholarly work. While the Republic of China celebrated the centenary of her establishment in 2012, the National Chengchi University formed a sizeable team to write and edit ”The Development History of the Academic Discipline in the Republic of China”, aiming at letting more people know the establishment and development of the Republic of China and share with people the Republic's outstanding achievements. ”The Development History of the Academic Discipline in the Republic of China” consists of a series of six books, covering different areas including: ”academic development”, ”politics and legal systems”, ”social development”, ”literature and arts”, and ”education and cultures”. The books provide valuable information about the development of the Republic in different aspects since her establishment, from 1912 to 2012. In particular, the two books about ”academic development”, edited by Professor Fan-Sen Wang, provide readers with both macro and micro views on the Republic's development in various academic disciplines through assembling the view points from different scholars. Through reading these books, readers would have a more thorough understanding of the unique character of the academic development in Taiwan.
