摘要：

身处近代中国社会动荡和急剧变革时期的王国维, 是位饱受传统文化濡化而又受西方文化洗礼的一代国学大师。时势巨变的刺激, 对“可爱”与“可信”之统一的企求, 儒者的道德化灵魂的召唤, 使他的学术研究最终走向返经信古, 于经史考据之中, 寓经世之意。在王国维的心目中, 殷周的德治文化是“可爱”的, 通过考证也是历史的真实, 因而是“可信”的。这样, 王国维通过回归传统, 寻找到了文化的认同感, 在主观上获得了人生慰藉。但理想与现实终究并非一回事, 王国维孜孜以求的困扰他的“人生之问题”始终未能获得真正的解决。

关键词: 人生慰藉, 返经信古, “史学转向”, 可爱, 可信

Abstract:

Wang Guowei, a great master of traditional Chinese philosophy, had been deeply influenced by both traditional values and Western culture. In his time China's society was in the course of transforming from traditional into modern. To seek the truth that was not only loveable but also believable, the tremendous change of China, the calling from the moral spirit of Confucianism, all this made Wang return to believe ancient Chinese classics. He made inquiries into textual researches on ancient classics and history. In his eyes, the culture of government by virtue was loveable as well as believable. In this way Wang found a cultural sense of identity through returning back to tradition, and obtained a subjective consolation of life. But objectively, such a sense of identity was not appropriate to the occasion. He failed to really solve the problem of life.

Key words: Wang Guowei, consolation of life, loveable, believable
