二十世紀後半日本之孔子研究

The Confucian Study of Japan in the Latter Haif of the Twentieth Century

在日本真正對中國古典的研究始於二十世紀前半，而和過哲郎的『孔子』及武內義雄的『論語之研究』揭開了研究史的序幕。津田左右吉於1947年完成了《論語與孔子的思想》之作，它是對於孔子及『論語』的批評研究。之後，在日本的第一線學者因有各種不同的見解，而描繪出多角度的孔子觀。本文擬就二十世紀後半，日本學術界如何研究及論述孔子，加以檢討，以窺這個時期的日本漢學之動向。

In Japan, researches into the Chinese classics start from the first half of the twentieth century. Tetsurou Watsuji's “Confucius” and Yosio Takeuchi's “a Study of the Confucian Analects” raise the curtain on the history of Chinese research. In 1947, Soukichi Tsuta finished “the Confucian Analects and the Thought of Confucius”, a critical study on Confucius and the Confucian Analects. And his work gave impetus to the Confucian study of Japan. This paper is going to examine the achievements in the Confucian study in the latter half of the twentieth century, and to get a hint of the new trends of Japanese Sinology.
