20世纪80年代是中国哲学史研究范式的转换时期，冯契与李泽厚从各自对马克思主义哲学的不同理解出发，形成了中国哲学史研究的两个代表性个案。李泽厚主张"回到历史唯物论"，而冯契则建构了"智慧说"。正是从"智慧说"出发，冯契的中国哲学史研究形成了独特的思想路径与内涵拓展，首先以"逻辑发展"阐明中国古代哲学史，继而以"革命进程"阐明中国近代哲学史，最后走向中国近代社会思潮史研究。

The 1980s witnessed the transformation of the research paradigm of the history of Chinese philosophy. During this period, FENG Qi and LI Ze-hou created two representative cases based on their different understandings of Marxism. While LI Ze-hou advocated "returning to historical materialism", FENG Qi constructed his "doctrine of wisdom". It is based on the "doctrine of wisdom" that FENG Qi's research of the history of philosophy has taken a unique intellectual approach and achieved its internal development. FENG first expounds the "logic development" of the history of ancient Chinese philosophy, then elaborates the "revolutionary process" of the history of modern Chinese philosophy, and finally extends to the history of intellectual trends in modern Chinese society.
