臺灣近代（1895-1945）佛教史研究之再檢討

A Review of Studies on Buddhist History in Contemporary Taiwan (1895-1945)

本文是綜合性的回顧與檢討，以臺灣近代（1895-1945）佛教變革研究的學術史為討論的中心，對迄今（2005）為止的學界概況，提出較詳盡和完整的觀察報告，並且以基於對二十世紀東亞佛教研究新視野的經驗和進一步期待的論述思維，而成體系地建構了本文的論述架構和表達內涵。在內容上，本文是筆者先前所發表的＜近五十年來有關日治時期臺灣佛教的史料蒐集與研究＞一文的革新版和再放大版，但不論在材料的擴充上和研究史方面的相關論述，都較前文更為細緻和更深入。而以臺灣近代（1895-1945）佛教變革研究的學術史為討論的中心，就如筆者在博士論文＜殖民統治與宗教同化的困境：日據時期臺灣新佛教運動的頓挫與轉型＞所實際究過的相對史實一樣，在整體內容上，也和以近代日本佛教為中心的二十世紀東亞新佛教發展的潮流趨勢密切關聯。
