冯契在中国近代哲学史研究中, 形成了自己独特的哲学史观, 主要表现在三个方面: 一是在哲学问题上, 强调哲学要关注时代的问题; 二是在哲学传统上, 提出不同于古代传统的近代传统; 三是在哲学研究视域上, 重视哲学与其他观念之间的联系, 主张把中国近代哲学史研究引向更广阔的视域。这一哲学史观, 对19—20世纪中国哲学研究具有重要的方法论意义。

Feng Qi's unique conception of the history of philosophy, which was formed in his researching into the history of modern Chinese philosophy, underlines the following three aspects.Firstly, it emphasizes that philosophy should be concerned with the issues of the times.Secondly, it differentiates the modern tradition from the ancient tradition of Chinese philosophy.Thirdly, it highlights the connection between philosophy and ideas in other fields so as to expand the scope of the study of modern Chinese philosophy, This conception of the history of philosophy has great methodological significance for the study of the history of philosophy in the 19^th and the 20^th centuries.
